      1. A Swedish hospital is making face shields from A4 transparencies (the foils for overhead projectors), elastic bands and a foam rubber strip. It’s judged to be as effective as other products on the market, albeit non-reusable.

      The hospital innovation team earlier this week were assigned the task of making face shield prototypes. They came up with four variants and one deemed viable was tested in the ER and well-received. Medical students and other functions started production at 10 am yesterday. 2/3

    They made 1,463 face shields, covering the weekend demand. In 48 hours they went from research to ideation to prototyping and testing. And have now delivered 1,463 items. Other hospitals in the Stockholm region now want in on the production.
