Our model has as benefits an easy way to be produced by any kind of 3D printing technology, requiring few materials to be made (two 3D printed parts, adhesive tape, transparent PVC and rubber band).
As a consequence, it is super easy to be cleaned, making the usage safer avoiding contamination in hospital contexts, and making the attendances faster for our health professionals with less chance of contamination.
The cap projected by us is a result of intensive feedback from health professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses firefighters, and others), during the user-centered design process. It was designed to decrease contamination by the aerosols produced by infected patients.
Our project is the only open-source face shield having this feature. Besides that, the shape of the cap and a wider PVC shield provides a better flow of the air produced during breathing avoiding fog, and better protection for the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears than the regular face shields on the market.
