What is 3D-printed face protective shield in interventional radiology: Evaluation of an immediate solution in the era of COVID-19 pandemic about?

## Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical evaluation of a 3d-printed protective face shield designed to protect interventional radiologists from droplet transmission of the sars-cov-2. ## Materials and methods: A protective face shield consisting in a standard transparent polymerizing vinyl chloride (pvc) sheet was built using commercially available 3d printers. the 3d-printed face shield was evaluated in 31 interventional procedures in terms of ability to perform the assigned intervention as usual, quality of visual comfort and tolerance using a likert scale (from 1, as very good to 5, as extremely poor). ## Results: The mean rating for ability to perform the assigned intervention as usual was 1.7±0.8 (sd) (range: 1-4). the mean visual tolerance rating was 1.6±0.7 (sd) (range: 1-4). the mean tolerability rating was 1.4±0.7 (sd) (range: 1-3). ## Conclusion: The 3d-printed protective face shield is well accepted in various interventions. it may become an additional option for protection of interventional radiologists.
