Slit lamp shields

Santen EMEA is supplying slit lamp shields, also known as breath shields, free of charge* to healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations across Europe, Middle East and Africa during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Breathe shield

The breath shield aims to create a barrier between healthcare professionals and their patients during the routine slit lamp eye examination, which typically involves both parties being in close proximity to one another. The shield is a piece of protective equipment that supports the physical distancing measures in place due to the pandemic.
