Product Overview
Penetrating eye injuries are among the most common combat trauma presentations, and the management principle is consistent across all TCCC and EMS protocols: protect the eye from further pressure, do not remove impaled objects, and prevent the patient from rubbing or pressing on the injury. The FOX Eye Shield from North American Rescue executes this principle with a purpose-built convex aluminum dome that holds its shape over the orbital rim, preventing any external contact with the globe — while the perforated surface allows air circulation to reduce humidity and edema accumulation under the shield.
At 0.2 oz (5 grams), the FOX Eye Shield adds negligible weight to any kit. Its ambidextrous design fits either eye without modification, and the included white Eye Garter Shield Cover (E569W) pads the edges of the shield to improve patient comfort — an important consideration when the patient must be transported or remain in place for an extended period. The combination of rigid aluminum dome and soft garter padding creates a complete, deployable eye protection system.
The FOX Eye Shield meets current CoTCCC treatment protocols for penetrating eye trauma and is the eye shield specification for most military and civilian prehospital trauma kits. Its NSN (6510-01-598-1877) ensures it is available through military supply channels. For civilian EMS, trauma teams, and law enforcement medical kits, the single-unit option provides immediate access; the Pack of 50 (SKU 30-5550) serves agency-level stocking for mass casualty preparedness.
