JohnsByrne Company president and CEO Corey Gustafson said: “Seeing media reports of a lack of PPE, our structural design team got to work on a few 3D printed prototype options. We vetted and streamlined the concepts, and realised we had a best-in-class solution that we could manufacture.

“It’s fulfilling to make an immediate difference in a time of need. We are fortunate to be able to apply our passion and innovation, and rise to the occasion in this global fight.”

According to the company, the six-piece face shield is easy-to-clean and is reusable. It comes with adjustable sizing and a band cover to offer additional comfort to the wearer.

Such face shields act as a barrier and help in reducing Covid-19 contagion risks.
