Face Shield – Eye, Nose & Mouth Protection
By: DynaPro Health
The DynaPro Face Shield provides full facial protection from large respiratory droplets emitted by others while maintaining perfect frontal and peripheral vision.
The DynaPro Face Shield offers fullย protection of your facial mucous membranes against possible invasion of bacteria, viruses or other foreign matter. The three facial mucous membranes are the eyes, mouth and nose and the face shield protects all three.
The visor of the shield is manufactured from polycarbonate in order to enable it to withstand powerful impacts without shattering.
It provides comprehensive facial coverage with dimensions 33 cm (length) by 22 cm (width). With these generous dimensions, you will benefit from 100% facial coverage. At the same time, you will continue to enjoy total clarity of vision (whether straight ahead or peripheral).
The face shieldโs polycarbonate visor is also equipped with a dual anti fog coating (one on each side). This ensures continued clear vision with no risk of interference due to condensation of moisture from your breath.
Finally, the shield comes with a comfortable head band that secures it in place even through vigorous physical activity.
DynaPro Face Shield – Advantages
In comparison with both masks and respirators, face shields offer greater wearing comfort. You will not feel them pressing against the skin of your face and potentially restricting your ability to breath or speak. As a result, you will feel less retained heat and superior ventilation for your face.
You can also easily clean, disinfect and reuse your shield (please see below for more information on this important matter). This is of course not an option with (K)N95 respirators or disposable masks.
If you wear facial hair such as a. beard or moustache, you may know that this compromises the effectiveness of N95 or KN95 respirators. However, face shields are not affected by this problem..
Many individuals suffer suffer claustrophobia. If you are one of them, youย will be delighted with the feeling of greater spaciousness that you get from wearing face shields. (K)N95 respirators, disposable masks and goggles all press directly against facial skin.However, as we have mentioned above, shields do not touch the face.
Compared to (K)N95 respirators and disposable masks, face shields also provide all in one protection against the three facial mucous membrane areas (eyes, mouth and nose). (K)N95 respirators and disposable masks will generally only project the nose and mouth.
For maximum protection, you can combine wearing your face shield with a disposable face mask or KN95 respirator.

If you plan to reuse your face shield, regular cleaning and disinfection will be important for your safety. We suggest the following steps each day after its use::
- Remove the headpiece (or harness) from the visor;
- Submerge the visor in a warm solution of mild soap (such as Dawn) and water. This will ensure the removal of surface contaminants;
- Clean the surface of the visor with a soft sponge or cloth;
- Once done, rinse the shield and dry it with a soft cloth (ideally a microfiber cloth);
- Clean the headpiece separately by immersing it in a warm soap solution, rinsing it and then drying with a clean towel or cloth;
- Avoid using household or window cleaners on your face shield. They may contain chemicals that could damage it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Durable is the DynaPro Face Shield Visor, and is it Resistant to Shattering?
One of the most common concerns for users of personal protective equipment is the durability and safety of the materials used, particularly the visor’s ability to withstand impact. The DynaPro Face Shield is manufactured with this concern as a primary focus. The visor is constructed from high-qualityย polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its exceptional strength and resilienceย . Polycarbonate is widely recognized for its impact-resistant properties, which means the visor is designed to withstand powerful impacts without shattering. This characteristic is crucial for ensuring user safety, as a shattered visor could potentially cause injury. Instead of breaking into sharp, dangerous pieces upon impact, the polycarbonate material is engineered to hold its form, providing a reliable barrier between your face and external hazards. This robust construction ensures that the shield offers dependable protection in various environments, from clinical settings to industrial workplaces.
Will Cleaning the Face Shield with Standard Products Cause it to Crack or Become Damaged?
Given that the face shield is designed for reuse, users frequently ask about the proper cleaning methods to maintain its integrity and prevent damage like cracking or hazing. The DynaPro Face Shield requires specific care to preserve its protective qualities. The manufacturer strongly advises against using household or window cleaners, as these often contain chemicals that can be abrasive and may damage the polycarbonate material, potentially leading to micro-cracks or a reduction in its shatter-resistant propertiesย . The recommended cleaning process is gentle yet effective: you should separate the visor from the headpiece and submerge it in a warm solution of mild soap and waterย . Using a soft sponge or cloth to clean the surface, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth (ideally microfiber), will remove contaminants without compromising the visor’s structural strength or its anti-fog coating. Adhering to these guidelines is essential to ensure the shield remains durable and optically clear for continued use.
How Can I Ensure the Face Shield Stays Securely in Place During Activity to Maintain Protection?
A common practical question is about the stability of the face shield, as a loose or ill-fitting shield can compromise its protective function and increase the risk of it being knocked off and potentially damaged. The DynaPro Face Shield addresses this concern with its design, featuring a comfortable yet secure headband that is engineered to keep the shield in place even during vigorous physical activityย . For maximum protection and to prevent accidents, it is recommended that users adjust the headband to fit snugly but comfortably. This secure fit ensures that the shield provides consistent, 100% facial coverage as intended, protecting all three facial mucous membrane areasโthe eyes, nose, and mouthโwithout the need for constant readjustmentย . This stability is a key advantage, allowing the wearer to focus on their tasks with confidence in their equipment.
