A method for eye surgery on an operative eye of an eye surgery patient can comprise a step of securing a monocular device over a non-operative eye of the patient. The monocular device can comprise a frame configured to engage a portion of the patient's face surrounding the non-operative eye and a visual target projector attached to the housing and disposed over the non-operative eye, wherein the monocular device does not cover the operative eye of the patient. The visual target projector can be configured to generate a visual target on which the non-operative eye focuses during eye surgery.

A face shield adapted to protect the face from biohazards during medical procedures is disclosed. The central portion of the face shield includes a horizontally centered cut out that extends downwardly from a top edge. The cut out is sized and positioned to allow a loupe light to pass through. The central portion of the face shield may be hingedly connected to a pair of side portions. A pair of side portions extends outwardly from respective sides of the central portion. Each of the pair of side portions includes attachment structure, such as a clip, to attach the face shield to the temples of a pair of loupes.

The present invention refers to a face shield for the protection of user's eyes and face in case there s accidental exposure to infectious, hazardous, and undesired substances, chemicals, powders, liquid spray, aerosols, and particles. More specifically, the invention refers to a protective barrier for workers in the health industry, laboratory personnel, dentists, dermatologists, beauty parlors, spas, dialysis clinics, tattoo artists, janitorial personnel, artists, and workshops of varying types, for protection against accidental exposure to infectious and/or hazardous and potentially toxic materials, as well as harmful airborne particles.

A visor is provided that is adapted to be mounted on a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope. The visor includes: a visor body shaped to conform with at least a portion of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope; a visor attachment portion located between the visor body and one of a headband, instrument housing, or instrument housing strut of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope when the visor is mounted on the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope. The visor is mountable on the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope such that the visor body is located in front of a substantial portion of a wearer of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope. The visor is located on the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope such that the visor does not interfere with operation of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope during operation of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope.

A protective face covering may comprise a frame comprising a main body. At least a portion of the main body is hollow and defines an inlet passage and an exhaust passage therein. The protective face covering may further comprise a visor coupled to the frame and configured to be disposed adjacent a face of a user in a first position, a membrane barrier coupled the visor and configured to seal against a portion of the wearer to define a sealed cavity between the visor and the face of the wearer in the first position, a blower unit in fluid communication with the inlet passage, the blower unit configured to provide a volume of filtered fluid to the inlet passage. The frame comprises an inlet aperture disposed adjacent a front portion of the frame and configured to direct a curtain of fluid into the sealed cavity in the first position.

This invention provides a see-through full face mask and hood that integrates effective filtration for both inhaled and exhaled air. The mask includes a transparent visor mounted on a headband and surrounded by a frame. The headband or the frame (sides, bottom, etc.) can include a filtration assembly that allows passive inflow and outflow of air in a manner that is highly breathable. The frame generally seals against the users face in a comfortable manner. The visor can be surrounded by a subframe that can be moved upwardly out of engagement with a base frame—which remains attached to the wearer to expose the user's mouth for eating. The filtration assembly defines a plurality of tortuous or circuitous-path filtration tubes that employ bends, baffles, charged surfaces and/or other internal barriers to redirect airflow and thereby trap microdroplets containing pathogens until such pathogens can be rendered inactive.

The present invention provides, in various embodiments, an instrument shield for a robotic surgical system comprising eye shield(s) and/or a face shield mounted on the instrument to protect surgeons from contaminants.

A tear-off capture system includes an eye protector with a base lens. The eye protector has a retention mechanism mounted on one side, and a support mechanism that supports the eye protector on the head of a wearer. A two-tabbed stack of laminated tear-off lenses mounts to the eye protector via an adhesive. The stack mounts so that the first tab of the stack aligns with the first side of the eye protector and the second tab engages with the retention mechanism. Via the second tab and the retention mechanism, released tear-off layers are directed toward the second side of the eye protector away from the base lens. A capturer helps hold the initially released tear-off layer to the eye protector. An exposed tacky surface on each released tear-off helps hold the subsequently removed tear-off layers.

There is provided a respirator for supplying clean air for a wearer. The respirator comprises a face assembly comprising an oronasal mask configured to seal against and cover a nose region and a mouth region of the wearer. The face assembly may be configured to be interchangeable on the respirator between a half-face assembly and a full-face assembly. The respirator comprises a securing headgear releasably securable with the face assembly, the securing headgear assembly configured to secure the respirator on a head of the wearer. The respirator comprises a facepiece assembly for supplying the wearer with air for inhaling and releasing air exhaled by the wear, the facepiece assembly releasably securable with the face assembly. One or more of the face assembly, the facepiece assembly, or the securing headgear are configured to be released from the respirator, sterilized, and releasably resecured with the respirator.
