Also - do they really need to be made in a sterile environment with high-end materials? This feels like one of the few pieces of protection that can be made quite crudely and still work well
I hope so. There are strict guidelines to hygiene and sterility but obviously not going to be to a clinical standard. Let's hope proper kit appears in the meantime.
There's been individuals here in Sweden doing similar things. There was an article in the news with someone who 3D-printed 100 visors but the health services turned the offer down since they hadn't been properly tested.
I get that, but surely a 3D-printed visor is better than no visor

Which makes it all the sadder that NHS trusts are interested!
Well, i hope they arent needed but im sure they will do a job if they are.
