Every day, medical professionals work in close proximity with individuals who are sick or injured. To protect themselves and others from the transmission of infectious viruses and bacteria, they use a variety of personal protection equipment (PPE) such as our Paulson IDC Snap System. Medical PPE is a form of infectious disease control that protects the wearer’s eyes, mouth, nose, and skin from exposure to potentially harmful pathogens. It includes protective eyewear, face shields, gloves, and masks. In the fight against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, it is more important than ever to have reliable and easy-to-use PPE available to medical professionals on the front lines.

Common Applications for IDC Snap System Face Shield
Medical PPE is specifically designed to protect medical professionals and patients from the spread of infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. Since pathogens can spread through multiple pathways, including eyes, 
nose, mouth, and skin, it is important that protective equipment guard these vulnerable areas.

Not only does PPE protect the wearer from contracting disease, it helps prevent further person-to-person spread. Medical PPE is commonly used in medical settings, including:
