Hi all,
We have an admitted patient who will likely be in our facility for some time for ongoing medical care before an eventual discharge to a long-term care facility. We have challenges
with the patient biting employees during care and are brainstorming solutions to keep our staff safe and still maintaining patient dignity. We have 3 instances already. Have you had any experience with a bite shield similar to the one in the picture? Or other
products?

Kindly,
Angeli
