The story behind our first face shield. A bit of background...
We were approached by a community association of doctors asking if we could manufacture face shields to help them as they set up Covid-19 testing in one of Canada's first outbreaks. At the same time, one of our engineering students, concerned for his parents who were nurses in our local hospital, started to 3D print and design a face shield.
At the same time, Prusa Labs, in the Czech Republic, released an open-source face shield that generously was shared with the world. Our team of product developers, materials engineers, and designers modified this design to meet Health Canada requirements, came up with the ZenShield Frontliner face shield, and donated it to our local hospital and healthcare workers.
From some feedback from early users, we added on a spill guard and other improvements. We then received our Medical Device Establishment License (12738) from Health Canada and started manufacturing locally, high-quality, reusable, and environmentally friendly face shields that met their guidelines for materials, face coverage, reusability, and sanitization ability.
