BROCTON — A local product is now on the front lines of health-care in battling the coronavirus.

In a news release issued this weekend, it was announced Jamestown Plastics is continuing to produce TrueHero FaceShields.

Recognizing that the need for such shields was only going to grow with the spread of COVID-19, plastics manufacturer, Jay Baker, chief executive officer of Jamestown Plastics, rallied his troops and, in a matter of days, designed and began manufacturing TrueHero Face Shields at his facility in Brocton, New York.

Today, TrueHero Face Shields are being used in New York City at the

epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic and in a quickly growing number of

states and even countries around the globe.

But, as demand continues to escalate, Baker continues to increase available supply. The fact is that politics and red tape are strangling the ability of those on the front lines to get the PPE they need.

If you know someone on the front lines that does not have access to

adequate PPE protection, please direct them to the TrueHero website:

TrueHero Face Shields are made of Clearon, a medical grade, optically

clear PETG. Extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear, TrueHero Face

Shields were designed in conjunction with medical professionals for extreme protection and all-day use. A flanged perimeter maximizes protection from the periphery. Multi-port exhaust channels release heat and moisture, yet preclude the entry of germs.

The shields offer full range visibility and employ hook-and-loop straps for infinite adjustability and a secure, set-it-and-forget-it fit. A

peel-and-stick foam forehead liner enhances comfort. And, for a customized fit, the shield can be trimmed with scissors.
