“Without proper facial protection, healthcare workers are at a higher risk of contracting the virus, which could place substantial strain on the healthcare workforce in the months ahead,” says Miko Enomoto, M.D., associate professor of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, OHSU School of Medicine

Hence, Nike working closely with health professionals at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Nike's innovation, manufacturing, and product teams to produce a large quantity of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the form of full-face shields and powered, air-purifying respirator (PAPR) lenses to protect against the coronavirus (COVID-19). Additionally, the full face shields also can help to prolong the length of using the surgical or N95 mask. 

These Personal Protective Equipment will be crafted with components such as collar padding for sneakers or cords for clothing, and of course the TPU material from the Air sole unit of Nike's iconic item- Nike Air. According to Nike, these TPU material will be used to craft the visors and lenses.
