Loupe-face shield protector

A face protecting apparatus comprising:

• a frame member secured to the head of a user utilizing at least one fastening member;
• a removable face shield connected to the frame member utilizing a plurality of securing members and having an elongated planar surface adaptable to create a seal at the user's chest when the user bends forward thereby providing a barrier to ejected debris from an aerosol producing instrument in use by the user, the face shield comprising:
• a plurality of bilateral angled creases to provide a concave configuration to the face shield that brings the face shield into close proximity to the face of the user;
• and
• a plurality of openings to enable a fiber optic LED light and a plurality of loupe magnifiers of a loupe device worn by the user to protrude therethrough thus enabling the user to wear the face protecting apparatus in combination with the loupe device and the fiber optic LED light without any obstruction while treating a patient;
• a dart member at a centerline of an upper portion of the face shield that forms a concave anatomy inside the face shield to protect the face of the user from hazardous materials;
• a plurality of connectors for accurately positioning the loupe device and the fiber optic LED light on the face shield;
• and
• at least one anti-glare element at the face shield to mitigate eye strain caused by the reflected light from the fiber optic LED light against the face shield;
• whereby the seal created by the elongated planar surface of the face shield and the concave configuration provided by the plurality of bilateral angled creases and the dart member protect and isolate the user from droplets and solids containing bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous materials.
