An improved viewing device which includes an adjustable support stand, a splash guard with an octagonally shaped open frame closing an open area to permit visual observation therethrough, with the frame having a surface thereon to receive and support a disposable transparent rectangular film positioned across the open area, and a releasable restraint in the form of a plurality of spaced posts or hooks which extend radially from the frame and which cooperate with the frame surface for releasable securement of the transparent film positioned somewhat under tension across the open viewing area. There are also adjusting components of the stand which permit the splash guard to be positioned in varying angular orientations and at varying heights relative to patient and medical attendant. A disposable transparent frontal drape adapted to be hung from one or more of the posts for enhanced body and clothes protection may also be provided. The device may be used with a variety of transparent films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose acetate, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride and polysulfone. The device is most valuable in medical emergency room use, but may also be used in a variety of other settings, including operating rooms, for out-patient examination, in individual physicians' offices, by veterinarians and for inspection and repair of small mechanical products where lubricants, cleaners or other liquids used with such products may be sprayed or splashed into the user's face or upper torso.
