Things to know about infection control

Without us knowing it, we repeatedly encounter viruses, bacteria or fungi in our everyday lives. In the worst case, this can lead to an infectious disease.

Currently, the so-called coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) represents one of the greatest infection risks. Anyone infected with the coronavirus can develop symptoms such as cough or fever. If pre-existing conditions are present, however, a coronavirus infection can also be fatal. As there is currently no vaccine against this new type of virus, hygiene measures and protection against infection are particularly important.

Coronaviruses as well as flu viruses are most frequently transmitted by so-called droplet infections.

However, with appropriate partitions, panes or counter tops made of acrylic glass (Plexiglas) or plastics, one can quickly and easily contribute something to the protection against droplet infections.

What happens during a droplet infection? Flu viruses or coronaviruses settle in the mucous membranes in the throat, nose and lungs. When you sneeze, cough or speak, you involuntarily secrete saliva droplets (spittle). These droplets, together with the viruses, are spread through the air and inhaled by other people. In some cases, the viruses travel distances of up to 1.5 meters during droplet infection.

What can you do to protect yourself from viruses? There are many simple ways to protect yourself and others from the Corona virus.

• The first priority is to increase hygiene, e.g. by washing hands regularly. In everyday interactions, people should observe sneezing or coughing etiquette (i.e., sneeze or cough into the crook of the arm) and refrain from shaking hands.
• Many public facilities and stores also require the wearing of mouth-to-nose coverings or face shields.
• In the workplace, one of the rules is not to share work materials with colleagues if possible and to keep the necessary minimum distance in shared work spaces (e.g. offices), but also in canteens and kitchens, in order to protect oneself from viruses.
• In areas where there is direct contact with customers/patients or where food is handled, a so-called sneeze guard or cough guard should be fitted. This is a spit shield designed to prevent the transmission of viruses when sneezing, coughing or talking. Depending on the area of application, this spit guard can have different designs.

The size and design of the spit guard depends on the particular application. Most commonly, sneeze guards and cough guards are found as larger partitions or guards, as counter tops or table tops (e.g. at the cash register or on the desk in the office) or in the form of protective screens.

Frequently asked questions about cough and sneeze protection

1. what is a spit guard?

The spit guard (also called sneeze guard or cough guard) is a protective wall or attachment (e.g. counter top, table top) designed to prevent unwanted transmission of droplets and viruses. Unlike face shield, spit shield serves as a kind of protective shield placed in rooms or on furniture. Since the spit shield is made of plastic or acrylic glass (Plexiglas), it can be easily cleaned or disinfected at any time. The transparent material also allows uncomplicated communication between employees and customers without exposing them to the risk of droplet infection. For this reason, the spit shield is one of the most important hygiene measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus or other viruses (e.g. flu viruses).

2. why do you need a spit guard?

In stores, facilities with a lot of customer contact and shared workspaces, hygiene and infection control must currently be given particular priority. The reason: many viruses are transmitted via droplet infections. Such droplets are produced when a person sneezes or coughs, spreading barely visible saliva particles (spittle) through the air.

Especially in times of Corona, a reliable spit guard (sneeze guard, cough guard) made of Plexiglas (acrylic glass) or plastic is one of the most important measures of infection protection. A high quality spit guard offers both your customers and your employees protection against pathogens. 

3. who must install a spit guard according to infection control guidelines?

In general, spit protection is necessary as a hygiene measure wherever there is direct contact and exchange between employees and customers or even patients.

The sneeze and cough protection is most often used in the following areas: Pharmacies and doctor's offices, post offices, grocery stores and bakeries, in the checkout area of supermarkets / DIY stores and gas stations, store premises, canteens (kitchens), hairdressing salons, nail salons, beauty salons, fitness studios, bank branches, as well as anywhere where it is difficult to maintain the minimum distance between employees and customers. Equally important is a suitable sneeze guard and cough guard in offices with desks close to each other. 

4. what are the advantages of spit guard?

These are the main advantages of a professionally made sneeze and cough guard:

• complies with the official requirements of infection control,
• ensures increased hygiene during direct customer contact,
• reliably protects employees and customers from viruses and droplet infections,
• unlike the face shield, does not impair communication,
• is easy to assemble and clean,
• consists of stable, impact-resistant materials (e.g. plastic, acrylic glass (Plexiglas), PVC foils),
• is available in different dimensions/sizes, material thicknesses and designs (e.g. counter top, counter display, free-standing protective or partition wall, free-moving display with rollers, as a top for tables and counters, as a folding spit shield or as an insert for cars/taxis),
• can be printed with your logo, name or a desired motif on request, and
• is manufactured in Germany to the highest quality and safety standards and at fair prices.

5. how can employers protect their employees?

You can protect your employees by informing them about the prescribed infection control guidelines and ensuring that they are implemented. In workrooms that are used by several people at the same time, ensure the necessary minimum distance and cough and sneeze protection. Our partition walls, displays, protective screens, counter tops and table tops can help you here, for example.

To protect your employees when dealing directly with customers/patients, you should install a spit shield in your business premises, e.g. at the counter, the cash register or the counter. The spit shield protects your employees from viruses or droplets that can be transmitted when sneezing or coughing.

By the way, our hygiene protection products are made in such a way that you do not interfere with the contact with the customer. When ordering sneeze guard and cough guard products, for example, you could choose whether you need a version with or without a pass-through. Of course, the size can be adjusted according to your requirements.

6. what materials are used to make the spit guard?

Different materials are used for the production of protective walls, protective screens, display stands and table or counter tops. The most common materials we use are plastics (e.g. PET), acrylic or acrylic glass (Plexiglas), and special foils.

Depending on the area of application, the spit shield is manufactured in various material thicknesses and sizes. When selecting materials for our spit shield, we place particular emphasis on a transparent/clear surface that is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Upon request, we can print your plastic or acrylic (Plexiglas) spit shield or counter top with a motif of your choice or your company logo.

7. in which versions is the spit guard available?

8. which spit guard is suitable for doctors' offices and pharmacies?

For the reception area of medical practices and pharmacies, the installation of a spit guard in the form of a counter top is recommended. A counter top not only provides reliable protection against viruses and droplet infections, but can also be discreetly attached. We place particular emphasis on stability when manufacturing our counter tops. Accordingly, our spit guard as counter top is equipped with sturdy feet and can be conveniently extended. By the way, our counter tops are also particularly easy to clean and disinfect, as they are made of resistant acrylic glass (Plexiglas). Of course, the counter tops are available in many different sizes. If the right size is not available, we will gladly manufacture the counter top according to your ideas.

9. why is the spit guard made of plexiglass?

In most cases, partitions or screens for cough protection and sneeze protection are made of acrylic glass. The acrylic glass is the transparent plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), known to most people under the brand name Plexiglas. Acrylic glass (Plexiglas) is particularly well suited for making spit-shield models (counter tops, for example) because it is highly resistant to breakage and is available at lower prices than glass. In addition, acrylic glass (Plexiglas) is easy to process and very easy to clean in everyday use without scratching or losing transparency. When processed as a counter top, partition or table display, acrylic glass (Plexiglas) offers optimal protection against viruses and droplet infections.

10. do-it-yourself or from a professional: can you build your own spit shield from plexiglass?

In principle, it is possible to build your own cough and sneeze guard from materials such as Plexiglas (acrylic glass).

However, consider the benefits of a professionally made spit guard. With us you can be sure that

• the materials used are of high quality and have been professionally processed,
• the cough and sneeze protection complies with the official infection control guidelines,

• our partitions, counter tops and displays are easy to attach, clean and disinfect,
• our products for virus protection and hygiene protection can be custom-made in the size of your choice upon request
• and there are short delivery times, fair prices and professional advice from our staff at all times.
