ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Fibre-optic nasoendoscopy and fibre-optic laryngoscopy are high-risk procedures in the coronavirus disease 2019 era, as they are potential aerosol-generating procedures. Barrier protection remains key to preventing transmission.

METHODS:

A device was developed that patients can wear to reduce potential aerosol contamination of the surroundings.

CONCLUSION:

This device is simple, reproducible, easy to use, economical and well-tolerated. Full personal protection equipment should additionally be worn by the operator.
