Medical garment including a shield

A medical garment to provide a barrier defining an environment side and a wearer side of said medical garment, said medical garment intended for use with a helmet including a protrusion at least partially disposed within an alignment channel, and a chin bar, wherein the chin bar includes at least two magnetic coupling members, said medical garment comprising:

• a shell configured to be at least partially disposed over the helmet, said shell comprising an opening;
• a transparent face shield disposed within said opening of said shell, said transparent face shield comprising:
• a first surface and an opposing second surface;
• and
• an upper portion and a lower portion;
• a tab on the wearer side of said medical garment, said tab having outer edges for aligning said shell relative to the helmet via the alignment channel of the helmet;
• a first aperture at least partially formed in said tab and configured to removably engage the protrusion of the helmet to align said shell relative to the helmet;
• and
• a first attachment element and a second attachment element, said first and second attachment elements being secured to said lower portion of said transparent face shield on opposing lateral sides of said first aperture;
• wherein each of said first and second attachment elements comprises a retention feature;
• wherein said first and second attachment elements each comprises a ferromagnetic material;
• wherein at least one of said first and second attachment elements defines a respective coupling recess on the wearer side of said medical garment, and said first and second attachment elements are each configured to removably engage one of the magnetic coupling members on the helmet;
• wherein each of said first and second attachment elements further comprises a head comprising a distal surface and a proximal surface, said distal surface being closer to said first surface of said transparent face shield than said second surface;
• and
• wherein said coupling recess is formed in said proximal surface of said head of at least one of said first and second attachment elements.

• wherein each of said first and second attachment elements further comprises:
• a head comprising a distal surface and a proximal surface;
• and
• a post extending distally from said distal surface of said head;
• and
• wherein said coupling recess is formed in said proximal surface of said head of at least one of said first attachment element and said second attachment element.
