-
Barriers (i.e., shields) designed to be attached to a syringe and used to protect against flying masses of fluid/fluid-like substances (i.e., splashes, sprays) that may be harmful and/or pose a risk for contamination. These shields are designed to protect the healthcare worker as well as the patient. Specific designs of syringe splash shields are available for use in wound irrigation - these devices (e.g., protective domes that are fitted around the wound) are designed to prevent cross-contamination from bacteria, etc., during wound irrigation/cleansing procedures.
