Origin of PRO-TEX®

In 1987, a dentist and a mechanical engineer developed a shield which could help protect medical professionals’ faces from coming into direct contact with bodily fluids, spatter and spray. Together they designed a lightweight clip-on face shield that attaches directly to glasses. After 36 years, PRO-TEX® simplicity of its design has withstood the test of time, with tens of thousands of repeat customers from around the world .

PRO-TEX® clip on Face Shields are patented with Registered Trademark.
