Triple-layer masks available to industry
Autogem has created a triple-layer, reusable anti-bacterial face mask to meet the needs of its customers during the Covid-19 outbreak.
The masks have been anatomically designed by medical professionals, and are non-medical grade meaning they will not affect the supply chain to the NHS.
They are being described as a significant upgrade on disposable, single-use surgical masks which can be loose in fitment offering only basic protection. And because they can be used multiple times, their daily cost of use is significantly less than these two disposable alternatives.
The coatings have been laboratory tested, with the anti-bacterial properties of gemCare masks deemed to be more than 99.9% effective for up to 30 washes.
Autogem’s managing director Prashant Chopra said: “We believe that our triple-layered gemCare masks are more robust and durable products than the vast majority of alternatives on the market. They are reusable and will not only offer extra-protection to technicians wearing them, but also a premium sense of best-practice in front of their own customers.
“In addition, because they can be used multiple times, they are much friendlier on the environment. We also want to stress that they are non-medical grade and are independently manufactured to the NHS supply chain. They represent a high-quality solution and we are pleased to now be in a position to offer them to the industry.”
Autogem also stocks disposable gloves and other protective equipment for the aftermarket, with more product lines being added soon.
