Abstract

A personal protection system for providing a sterile barrier around medical/surgical personnel. The system includes a helmet over which a hood or a toga suspended. The hood/toga has a transparent face shield that is flexible. A fastening assembly holds the face shield to the helmet so that, at the top of the face shield the shield has a relatively wide radius of curvature. Extending downwardly from the top of the face shield the radius of curvature of the shield becomes smaller. Providing the face shield with this geometry reduces the extent to which the person wearing the helmet and hood/toga of this invention is subjected to glare.
