Seven million face shields and counting
August 13, 2020

How a Wyss Institute COVID-19 project led to regional, scalable PPE production
By Lindsay Brownell

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe in early 2020, a new three-letter acronym spread with it: PPE, short for personal protective equipment, which was suddenly both in high demand and short supply.

Developed in collaboration with Boston-area physicians, the Dome Shield is a locally manufactured affordable anti-fogging, full-coverage face shield intended for use by medical, food-service, and factory workers to provide general, lightweight facial protection.

Important Notice: Our Dome Shields are now available free of charge to all Boston-area medical, educational, and research facilities and personnel.  Please e-mail us for more information or click here to request a free sample.
