Healthcare workers are wearing layers upon layers of gear to ensure that they are protecting themselves, patients, and others when providing care.

Key Points: 
  • Healthcare workers are wearing layers upon layers of gear to ensure that they are protecting themselves, patients, and others when providing care.
  • Southwell's idea for 3D printed ear guards to accompany medical masks came from a combination of peers, social media groups in the 3D printing space, and a Boy Scout Quinn Callander , who crafted a model for the guards.
  • Ian started 3D printing ear guards with grooved "security straps" to ensure masks aren't rubbing on the face of medical workers all day.
  • The hope is that these ear guards relieve some of the physical stress of wearing masks that make direct contact with the ears and face.
