Path-O-Guard™ Earloop Face Masks
Consultants’ Comments
- “The best face masks I have tried in a long time.”
- “I especially liked the anti-fog feature and the confidence of protection with a Level 3 mask.”
- “There was no fogging and they felt extremely soft on the inside.”
- “Thicker than lower level face masks, but they didn’t feel confining and I could breathe well.”
- “A very comfortable mask.”
- “Minimal ‘fuzz’ after use. There was no residue from the mask material adhering to my lip.”
- “My assistant noticed a big difference with fog control compared to our usual face masks.”
- “For an earloop face mask, the breathability was very good.”
- “I would like to see some padding around the nose.”
- “I would like to see an adjustable chin band included in the face mask.”
Clinical Tips
- Take the time to adapt the anti-fog strip so that it can function ‘seemlessly.’
- Cut the whole top off the box of masks to make it easier to get the masks out.
