Face
Shields
for Dialysis Technicians
and Dialysis Nurses
A
comfortable, clear plastic, face shield is an important consideration for
Dialysis Technicians and Dialysis Nurses. Many often spend a large part
of their day at a Dialysis Center, placing themselves at potential risk
of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, body fluids, and chemical splash.
These
liquids are potentially harmful, even life threatening, should they come in contact
with the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth. In addition, contact with
open wounds on the skin can be particularly dangerous.
To
counter these potential threats, hemodialysis technicians (also referred
to as renal technicians, or nephrology technicians), are often required
to wear procedure masks in combination with other forms of protective eyewear.
This is especially true in Dialysis Clinics, when a procedure is likely
to generate droplets of blood, body fluids, or possible chemical spray or spatter
that could be harmful to the technician's eyes and face.
Dialysis
Technicians and Nurses have many options to choose from when selecting
personal protective equipment (PPE) for the workplace. However, those who prefer
to maximize their protection, and thus minimize their risk of exposure,
insist on wearing a full-face shield, in combination with a procedure mask.

Clip-On
Face Shields
A
clip on, lightweight, disposable, face shield, the Z300 easily attaches to presciption
eyeglasses or special designer support frames which may be purchased separately.
An
ideal choice for dialysis nurses, laboratory technicians, and dental professionals,
the Z300 is the perfect choice for medical professionals who find elastic head
bands and velcro straps uncomfortable and annoying.
Simply
clip the face shield to the side rails of your prescription eyeglasses or designer
frames, and the shield is ready to wear.
Adjusting
the clips on the side rails allows the wearer to contour the splash shield to
the face.
