SAN ANTONIO - TIDI Products has launched the TIDIShield Assemble 'n Go family of disposable eye shields and face shields for dental markets at the ADA 2014 annual meeting.
The disposable eye and face shields feature comfortable, lightweight, wrap-around designs that deliver both front and side eye protection, as well as optical-grade antiglare lenses, according to the company.
Disposable eyewear eliminates cross-contamination risk between patients, reduces infection risk to staff, and eradicates the need for eyewear sterilization time. The risk of eye-related infection is significantly underrated; therefore, most healthcare environments, including dental environments, put staff at risk, according to TIDI. Improved understanding, protocols, and products are essential to heightened compliance and risk reduction, the company noted.
