Arguably, mine aren't even usable let alone reusable, given that they are made of non suitable plastic in a non sterile environment but we are where we are!
Tongue in cheek response aside, I assume that they will be regarded as disposable as 3d printed objects are virtually impossible to sterilise.

We're making reusable visors that can be sterilised using 3D printers at work:
https://www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2020/smd/queen-mary-3d-prints-protective-equipment-for-covid-19-nhs-workers.htmlThe staff who've been making them so far have been printing them at home, but given they can be reused and sterilised I suppose it doesn't matter that they've been made in a non-sterile environment. The plan is to potentially use the 10,000 at the Nightingale (which is being run by another colleague of mine). That figure was literally based on 2000 beds x 5.
Is there anything about the design you've been printing that means it couldn't be sterilised? And is the design certified? It doesn't say in that story but I know they had to go through half a dozen prototypes before they got certification.

Good work! Are yours reusable?
