ABSTRACT:
A protective device having two transparent, spaced-apart shields held at an angle to one another. The device is symmetric so that either shield can serve as a base for the other and either can serve as a shield. When one of the shields is horizontal, the other shield is positioned at a suitable angle with respect to the practitioner's face to shield against contact with the patient's body fluids during medical procedures. The shields are held in cantilevered relation by a single support so that access to the space therebetween is maximized and so that the device can be oriented as dictated by the handedness of the user. The device is preferably formed from a single sheet of clear plastic folded twice to form the angled shields on either side of the support. The device may be used with minor surgical procedures and any medical procedure that involves venipuncture or arterial puncture.
