Maximize staff safety, bridge the ‘bottom gap’ between eyewear and conventional face masks
70% of all dentists receive some degree of ocular trauma during their careers. Per research validated by NIOSH, the exposed area between the bottom edge of dental eyewear and the top of conventional dental masks can allow airborne debris to reach the eyes during dental procedures, particularly when using air-driven handpieces or ultrasonic scalers. Today, OSHA guidance requires that PPE works to prevent gaps between a mask and eyewear to protect against splashes, sprays, and spatter of blood or other potentially infectious materials. New eye safety standards adopted by the ADA require dental staff to wear safety glasses or face shields that provide bottom gap protection.
Developed by a dentist after experiencing an eye injury, the patented Surgical Earloop Face Mask with Bottom Gap Shield helps eliminate this exposure quickly and effectively. Two products in one, it features a built-in, adjustable shield that closes the gap without the need, glare, fogging, or expense of a separate face shield. In combination with all safety eyewear and loupes, wear it like any regular earloop face mask and gain priceless bottom gap—and legal—protection. Meets ASTM Level 3 standards. 98% BFE. Soft blue color. 40 per box.
Made in USA.
