    This is up to each healthcare facility or individual to decide. Feedback from physicians and infection control groups suggests that the Face Shield product is suitable for reuse with appropriate cleaning in between patients.

For personal reuse, please wipe it with alcohol or disinfected wipers, and reuse it after drying naturally.
