Virimask – The New Full Face Alternative to N95 Face Masks to Protect Against Coronavirus and Other Viral Threats
Most frontline healthcare workers are currently wearing N95 face masks to avoid breathing coronavirus particles and to reduce the instances of touching the nose and mouth areas. However, even N95 masks can’t fully block virus particles. Any blocked viral particles stay on the mask’s surface and pose a hazard when handled and thrown away.
The Virimask offers full protection of the nose, mouth and eyes; a suitable alternative to N95 face masks, which only cover the nose and mouth. The mask is designed to last a single user a lifetime and uses high quality filters which require replacement after 60 hours. The filters will block particles down to 0.1 micron, which is more effective than the common N95 mask which filters down to 0.3 micron. The ViriMASK is strapped around the head, covering the eyes with a see-through visor and the nose and mouth with protected with a disposable filtering component. The mask can be washed easily with alcohol wipes and is reusable, which is cost-effective and more environmentally friendly.
