A face shield of a face mask has two or more openings for attachment of air filters (e.g., COVID-19, T70 or T90 air filters). The two or more openings face towards the ground being substantially perpendicular to the nose and the lip of the face. A nose bridge attaches to a support fame and having a span from a first side of the nose over a top and to a second side of the nose. The nose bridge and connected portions of the support frame fully expose a front facing portion of the nose of the face.

A pair of protective eyewear for securing a medical face mask on a face of a patient to prevent migration of the medical face mask about the face of the patient during a medical or surgical procedure. The protective eyewear may include a main body having a nosepiece and a pair of eye portions secured in the main body. The nosepiece may include a fastener defining a mask-receiving space for releasable receipt of a ridge of a medical face mask. The eyewear may additionally include one or more straps or other head securing structure, extending from the main body, to secure the eyewear to a head of the patient. Further, there is provided a system protecting eyes of a patient during a medical or surgical procedure and a method of securing a face mask to a face of a patient to prevent migration of the medical face mask about the face of the patient during the medical or surgical procedure.

The present invention includes a mask body having a cord attached at three locations on the mask body and a deformable bridge piece. The cord is attached at the middle of an upper edge of the mask body generally aligning with the location of the bridge of the wearer's nose. The cord is further attached at each of two lower positions on the mask body, preferably near or at the bottom corners of the mask body. The cord is further threaded through eyelets located at each of two upper positions on the mask body, preferably near or at the upper corners of the mask body. The deformable bridge piece is located along the upper edge of the mask body, and generally centered on the bridge of the wearer's nose.

The disclosure is the only product of its kind with the potential to curb the spread of contagious aerosolized disease via widely accessible and versatile disc that complements the requirement for wearing a face mask. CODIS is uniquely designed to enhance the contact tracing process of infectious diseases and serves as a proactive medium for identifying disease exposure in real-time. The disclosed pathogen indicator device includes a reagent configured to trigger a chemical reaction based on an exposure to a predetermined pathogen. The disclosure also includes a mask substrate configured to receive the reagent on a front side and to bond therewith on a backside thereof. The disclosure further includes a seal for the substrate and the reagent, the seal configured to provide a prophylactic temporary protection from the predetermined pathogen.

An automated face shield assembly includes a band that is wearable around a user's head. A pair of actuators is each is coupled to the band and a face shield is coupled to each of the actuators. The face shield covers the user's face when the actuators are actuated into a first condition. The face shield exposes the user's face when the actuators are actuated into a second condition. Moreover, the face shield is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit airborne transmission of infectious diseases between the user and another person. A pair of motion sensors is each coupled to a respective one of the actuators. The actuators are actuated into the first condition when the motion sensors sense motion to cover the user's face when the person approaches the user. Additionally, the actuators are actuated into the second condition when the motion sensors do not sense motion.
