When the need arises to step outside wearing a face mask can be a thoughtful and considerate choice right now. It's a practical step you can add to your other safety best practices, such as social distancing and washing your hands. With included elastic banding, these face masks are designed to fit snugly (yet comfortably) around your lower face, without irritating your skin.
Q: Are these masks acceptable for use in a medical setting? Can healthcare professionals use them against COVID-19?
A: No – these are designed for personal use in non-medical settings. They are not medical devices or personal protective equipment (PPE). While they provide a physical barrier, they do not provide the same fluid or air filtration protection as licensed masks and respirators.
Q: Will this face mask help prevent the spread of COVID-19?
A: There are divided points of view on this: Some governments and health agencies around the world believe that wearing face masks in public can help contain the pandemic, while others have stated that doing so does not play a major role. We recommend you consider the guidelines issued in your country of residence.
Q: What are the face masks made of?
A: These fabric masks are made of 100% polyester, with elastic banding for a secure fit. The fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified – it's suitable for direct contact with the skin over prolonged periods of time.
Q: Is the elastic latex-free?
A: Yes.
