In response to the unprecedented demand for PPE during the ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Duraweld Ltd, manufacturers of bespoke stationery and packaging solutions, rapidly developed a prototype disposable protective face visor, utilising rigid clear PVC, that was approved by Doctors/Clinicians County Durham, Darlington and Scarborough NHS Trust who have subsequently ordered over 60,000 of them.
Feedback from the NHS is that having a clear, physical barrier to the mouth, nose and eyes is of significant benefit to reducing the risk of infection hence the significant demand for this product. As we have the capacity to continue to manufacture large volumes of protective face visors, we have opened up availability of the product to help service other areas of healthcare/frontline positions that are in need of this form of additional protection. If we can help any of our Sourcing City customers or you need more information please contact either Lisa on 07800 812188 or Lee on 01723 584091.
