S/SHIELD PLUS PATENT PENDING Twitter : @Samgo1L

The Patent Pending S/SHIELD Plus was created to protect Law Enforcement and Military personal from gunshot wounds that are selectively aimed at the head, face, neck and thorax areas. The S/Shield plus is securely strapped to the upper chest area. The open viewing port has a one way vision feature allowing for aiming of your weapon. Level 3 and Level 4 protection. Level IV (4) is the highest rating of personal body armor. Level IV will stop pistol rounds and rifle rounds, including a direct shot from a 30 caliber AP bullet. This bullet is the same size that is fired from a 30-06. NIJ only requires one test shot per plate with an Armor Piercing (AP) round.

The head and neck region accounts for 12% of the total body surface area. Despite this, head and neck injuries are seen in over 20% of battlefield casualties in 21st century conflicts.

The high incidence of head and neck trauma is due to the lack of head PROTECTION!

Most of the fatalities were due to gunshot wounds selectively aimed at head, face, neck and thorax. Therefore, a lightweight flexible and effective bulletproof protection for this area will conserve manpower (Statistical Analysis : Col MM Arora, Lt Col JK Bhatia, Brig KVS Rana (Retd).

During the past 10 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, over 30,000 head and neck injuries have been treated at American medical facilities in both war zones.

Lethal penetrating injuries were reported in one Israeli study where bullets have entered in the space between the helmet and CBA vest, penetrating the face, neck, or cervical region. Injuries may be attributed to three main reasons, namely the survivability of combat personnel, the common use of explosive devices resulting in increased fragment injuries, and lack of adequate protection for the face and neck. With increased use of IEDs, it is not surprising that the areas of the body not protected by CBA, namely the limbs, face, and neck, are especially vulnerable to injury, highlighting a need for increased protection for these areas. Postmortem data from the Lebanon War in 1982 showed that over 20% of all lethal penetrating injuries (fragment and GSW) involved the face and in particular the midface region. Two articles have suggested that fatal penetrating head injuries are a result of aimed fire, specifically targeting the facial region.

Gunshot wound head trauma is fatal about 90 percent of the time, with many victims dying before arriving at the hospital
For victims who survive the initial trauma, about 50 percent die in the emergency room
About 50 percent of surviving patients will suffer from seizures and require anti-epilepsy medication.
