FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- When selecting eye and face protection for nurses and technicians, healthcare centers often consider many factors.
Comfort, safety, and performance during the work cycle draw the most attention from nurses and technicians, while price, durability, and OSHA compliance are major considerations for administration.
The new "Comfort Face Shield" from K Medical, Inc. takes aim at the needs of both groups, with the intention of scoring a perfect bull's eye. Remarkably, it comes exceptionally close.
Simplicity of design and exceptional comfort go a long way toward making the "Comfort Face Shield" an attractive choice for nurses and technicians seeking protection against liquid splash. Consisting of a light weight, plastic, reusable visor and nose bridge, users simply attach a lightweight, clear plastic shield to the visor which gently embraces the head.
What distinguishes the "Comfort Face Shield" from other types of visor-style face shields is the fact that the majority of the weight of the shield is supported by a nose bridge, like eye glasses, eliminating the need for intense pressure on the head.
When the shield becomes contaminated, or is no longer serviceable, it can simply be removed from the visor and replaced, thus eliminating the expense of replacing the whole unit.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature the "Comfort Face Shield" has to offer however, is called Flow Control. Flow Control allows the wearer to adjust the amount of air flow underneath the shield as well as the level of protection.
Wearers simply choose to place the plastic disposable shield in one of three positions located on the visor. By doing so, each wearer can custom configure both the level of air flow underneath the shield, in addition to the level of eye and face protection they desire.
For healthcare professionals who object to elastic bands around the head that may get entangled in their hair, the "Comfort Face Shield" is a welcome change.
Affordable, lightweight, and comfortable, the "Comfort Face Shield" offers users a wide variety of options not available with most other eye and face protection systems.
And for those dialysis centers that might want to add a touch of style or color they can coordinate with their protective clothing and uniform. The "Comfort Face Shield," visors are available in 10 different colors: black, blue, green, light green, pink, purple, red, teal, white, and yellow.
