Virustatic Shield - Face Shield
The Virustatic Shield has been designed and developed to reduce pathogenic microbial intake into the human respiratory system. Its revolutionary protein coating works to disable viruses on contact to help slow the spread of infections. Virustatic Shield (Face Shield) has been proven during testing against the H1N1 influenza virus. In addition, the protein layer is designed to allow the face shield to be touched without transferring the virus for non-hazardous disposal once used.
360° snood design - Face Shield
Virustatic Shield can be issued as front line protection for workers including passengers traveling via helicopter to and from offshore structures such as oil rigs and wind turbines. Its lightweight 360° snood design moulds to the wearer's face, allowing the shield to be comfortably worn for hours at a time and will stay in place even when approaching a helicopter with its main rotor in motion.
Virustatic Shield features:
- 360º 'snood' style
- Proven to be over 96% effective against the influenza virus
- Cuts risk of cross contamination from saliva droplets
- Designed to provide two-way influenza virus protection (prevents infecting and infection)
- Hygienic fabric coating disables the virus, so the shield is safe to touch
- Protects critical virus infection points: mouth, nose and ears
- Non hazardous disposal
- Natural fabric for breathability
- Designed for comfort
- Easy to fit
- Multi-layer anti-counterfeit security

The science behind the Virustatic Shield
- Influenza infects its host by binding to receptors in the upper respiratory tract.
- Once there, it can cause coughs, fever, breathing difficulties and, in severe cases, organ failure.
- Each virus is wrapped in a protein "envelope". Virustatic Shield's innovative fabric coating disrupts this protective membrane, killing virus.
- Virustatic Shield's cationic properties mean it works on a virus even though it is 400 times smaller than a human hair and easily, small enough, to pass through material.
Certification
The UK's trade association for the safety industry, the British Safety Industry Federation, confirms Virustatic Shield's classification as a "face covering".
