ZVerse releases new ZShield Ultra face shield

South Carolina-based digital manufacturing company ZVerse has created its fifth face shield design, ZShield Ultra, for high-risk environments and everyday wear.

Mounted on an eyeglass headset, ZShield Ultra is designed to be worn comfortably for many hours and provides full face coverage with a closed top to help block airborne particulates. The ZShield Ultra is now available for purchase online.

John Carrington, Founder and CEO of Zverse, said: “Our team at ZVerse is constantly rethinking traditional PPE to provide people with inventive new options that can be worn comfortably in a variety of work settings, as well as just general everyday life.”

ZShield Ultra is compatible for people who wear traditional eyeglasses. The Ultra is made of Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), a thermoplastic polyester that provides significant chemical resistance, durability, and excellent formability for manufacturing. It is ultra lightweight, anti-fog and meets the CDC guidance for face shields. ZShield Ultra is ideal for workers in hospitality, education, medical, travel and quick-serve restaurant environments.  

All ZShield products provide a comfortable, wearable barrier that helps prevent the spray, splatter and direct transfer of respiratory droplets. ZShields also allow for clear verbal and nonverbal communication and comfort when masks or stationary sneeze guards are not practical.

Earlier this month, ZShield was named an Innovation by Design award winner by Fast Company in the workplace category and an honoree in the best design of North America category. Since March, ZVerse has produced over four million face shields for workers across industries including healthcare, hospitality, education, beauty, food service and film. The company recently introduced new colors in its ZShield Wrap and Youth models, including a pink version that raised funds for Susan G. Komen in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
