Face shield apparatuses and systems including same

A face shield system, comprising:

• a face shield apparatus including:
• a frame including a first curved member and a second curved member positioned opposite the first curved member, each of the first curved member and the second curved member including:
• a first end;
• a second end positioned opposite the first end;
• and
• an outer surface extending between the first end and the second end;
• a bridge extending between the first end of the first curved member and the first end of the second curved member;
• at least one first rib rotatably coupled to the outer surface of the first curved member, the at least one first rib extending beyond and substantially parallel to the outer surface of the first curved member;
• at least one second rib rotatably coupled to the outer surface of the second curved member, the at least one second rib extending beyond and substantially parallel to the outer surface of the second curved member;
• a first extension coupled to the first curved member, adjacent the second end of the first curved member;
• a second extension coupled to the second curved member, adjacent the second end of the second curved member;
• and
• a backing component releasably coupled to the first extension and the second extension, the backing component including:
• at least two openings, the at least two openings receiving one of the first extension or the second extension;
• and
• a surgical drape positioned over and contacting at least the frame, the at least one first rib, and the at least one second rib, respectively.

A face shield apparatus, comprising:

• a curved frame including:
• a first end;
• a second end positioned opposite the first end;
• an outer surface extending between the first end and the second end;
• a bridge formed between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a plurality of ribs extending beyond and substantially parallel to the outer surface of the curved frame;
• and
• a backing component releasably coupled to the first end of the curved frame and the second end of the curved frame, the backing component including:
• at least two openings, the at least two openings receiving one of the first end of the curved frame and the second end of the curved frame.
