Abstract
A medical face shield (10) is disclosed having a flexible front plate or shield (11), a foam forehead pad (21), and a flexible, stretchable headband (22). The front shield has a viewing window (25) which is positioned to be directly in front of a person's eyes wearing the face shield. The viewing window is surrounded by a translucent, peripheral margin, frame, or window surrounding portion (27) which provides an anti-glare characteristic or capability to the margin.
Description
- This invention relates generally to a shield worn over the face, and more particularly to shields worn over the face during a medical procedure.
- Medical professionals oftentimes must wear masks or shields to protect themselves from fluids and other contaminants from a patient. These shields are typically in the form of a large clear sheet of plastic that is positioned in front of the face. While these shields provide a great deal of protection, a problem related to the use of the shield is that they also produce a glare from the bright lights of an operating room, or the like, which can impair the vision of the medical professional. Another problem associated with such shields is also that they provide unobstructed vision within the medical professional's field of view, which may include distractions away from the immediate task at hand. Lastly, these shields must be made to be extremely light as a surgeon or other medical personnel must wear them for extended periods of time, requiring them to be comfortable during the entire period of time of use.
- Accordingly, it is seen that a need remains for a medical face shield which can aid in reducing glare but also increase the focus of the medical professional to the immediate task. It is to the provision of such therefore that the present invention is primarily directed.
- In a preferred form of the invention a medical face shield comprises a flexible shield having a transparent viewing window and a translucent margin surrounding the transparent viewing window, and a flexible headband coupled to the flexible shield.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a medical face shield embodying principles of the invention in a preferred form. - With reference next to the drawings, there is shown a
medical face shield 10 in a preferred form of the invention. Theface shield 10 has a curved, flexible, plastic front plate or shield 11 having afront surface 12, arear surface 13, atop edge 14, abottom edge 15, and two oppositely disposedside edges 16. Theface shield 10 also includes a soft, pliable, flexible,foam forehead pad 21 which is affixed to therear surface 13 adjacent thetop edge 14, and a flexible,stretchable headband 22 having ends which are affixed to the front shield 11 adjacent the two opposite side edges. - The front shield 11 has a
viewing window 25 which is positioned to be directly in front of a person's eyes wearing theface shield 10. Theviewing window 25 is surrounded by a translucent, peripheral margin, frame, orwindow surrounding portion 27 which provides an anti-glare characteristic or capability to themargin 27, the margin constituting a majority of the front shield 11. - The front shield may be constructed of two plies or layers of material wherein one ply is transparent and the other ply has the transparent viewing window and the translucent, anti-glare component, or constructed of one ply having a treated surface to produce the translucent, anti-glare component on the
margin 27, or constructed wherein one ply is transparent and the other ply has the translucent, anti-glare component and a cutout wherein material is absent in the area of the viewing window. The treatment of the material to form the translucent component may be applied through a spray, dipping, printing, texturing, lamination, or any other conventionally known manner of applying such a layer or component. The front shield may be made of a polymeric material, such as an acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate, or other similar material. Theperipheral margin 27 may be a darkened or shaded area, a roughened or otherwise textured area, a shaded area having a pattern of clear portions therein (partially obscured), or any other treatment that produces a partially obscured or obstructed, shaded, or translucent effect to limit the clear vision therethrough, which is described herein, specifically including the claims, collectively as “translucent”. - In use, the
face shield 10 is donned by a wearer in the usual manner with theforehead pad 21 positioned upon the wearer's forehead and theheadband 22 wrapping about the wearer's head in order to maintain the position of the face shield upon the wearer's head. Theviewing window 25 is positioned directly in front of a wearer's eyes in order to restrict or allow limited clear viewing of the wearer's field of view. By limiting the viewing to the area directly in front of the wearer the wearer's attention is restricted or limited to that viewing field, thereby limiting distractions occurring outside the limited viewing area. However, the wearer is still aware of the presence of objects outside the viewing window and should the wearer need to see something outside the viewing window the translucent capabilities of themargin 27 allow the wearer to do so. Furthermore, themargin 27 has anti-glare characteristics or capabilities so that the glare from the lights of the operating room, or the like, does not cause a problem or distraction for the wearer. Also, the construction of the present invention provides for a face shield which is light in weight and therefore comfortable for the wearer to don for an extended period of time. - It should be understood that as an alternative to the headband shown in the preferred embodiment, other types of head mounting means, such as arms positioned to be worn upon the ears, a hat like structure, a hood structure, and the like, may also be utilized.
- It should be understood that the rectangular shape window shown in the preferred embodiment is a preferred shape. However, the window may be of any shape, such as a square, trapezoid, circle, oval or other shape, and may include rounded corners as well as the sharp comers shown in the drawings.
- It thus is seen that a face shield is now provided which reduces glare focuses the wearer's attention to those items within a limited clear field of view and is very light in weight. Although the face shield has been illustrated and described in its preferred form, it should be understood that many modifications, additions and deletions may be made to that specific form without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
