Eye Protection for Medical Settings
Protective goggles are designed to shield the eyes from infectious, corrosive, or otherwise harmful substances and chemicals that may be encountered, for example, in laboratory work. Unlike regular prescription glasses, protective goggles are made from a special, highly durable plastic and provide coverage not only from the front but also from the sides.
Protective goggles should be very lightweight, and the arms should provide a secure yet comfortable fit, as they are often worn for extended periods and sometimes over prescription glasses. Many manufacturers offer anti-fog medical goggles with a UV filter, which remain clear even when worn with a face mask and often feature an anti-scratch coating to ensure continuous unobstructed vision. This is particularly advantageous for dental work or in the operating theatre.
Practical Disposable Goggles
For hygienic and personal eye protection, we offer individually packaged and ultra-light disposable goggles. A patented dispenser system allows for the quick removal of each fully assembled safety goggle. Designed for single use, these goggles provide reliable protection and safety in all high-risk areas, such as the emergency department or operating theatre.
When Should Protective Glasses be Used?
Eye or face protection provided by the employer for personal safety is recommended during the following procedures:
- Surgical interventions (particularly vascular surgery or orthopaedics)
- Endoscopy
- Arterial punctures
- Intubation, extubation, care and replacement of tracheal cannulas
- Dental treatments
- Instrument cleaning
- Pathological procedures
