Headband for Simple Face Shield Assembly

Why is this needed?

Face shields are personal protective equipment used to help prevent droplets of contaminated fluids from reaching the user’s face. This band can be quickly made to hold a plastic face shield visor in place and secured to the user.

How is this used?

The face shield band is attached to the clear visor and affixed atop the user’s head. Flexibility in the design allows for a wide variety of head shapes and sizes. The design allows for interface with 8.5” X 11” clear transparency sheet or similar.
