A face shield is a protective device designed to cover the face, including the eyes, nose, and mouth, to provide a barrier against splashes, droplets, or airborne particles. Typically made of transparent materials like plastic, a face shield offers a physical barrier while allowing visibility and is commonly used in various settings, including healthcare, laboratory work, and certain industrial or public environments, to prevent the spread of contaminants and ensure facial protection.
