Frequently Asked Questions
What is unique about SafeMask FreeFlow procedure masks?
SafeMask FreeFlow procedure masks offer best-in-class breathability thanks to their innovative European design and Air Space™ technology. SafeMask FreeFlow masks have a contoured pleat construction that creates a unique air pocket between the mouth and mask to allow air to flow freely.
Who are SafeMask FreeFlow procedure masks designed for?
Anyone required to wear a procedure mask will appreciate the exceptional breathability of SafeMask FreeFlow masks. They are ideal for those who feel claustrophobic wearing ordinary masks.
Aside from their exceptional breathability, are SafeMask FreeFlow procedure masks comfortable?
In addition to their unique air pocket, SafeMask FreeFlow procedure masks offer several features that ensure wearer comfort, including soft, strong, stretchy, ultrasonically sealed earloops for a personalized fit. The earloops are attached to the outside of the mask to prevent irritation.
Mask wearers have consistently been instructed to ensure that the pleats on a mask always face down to prevent pooling of moisture and debris. Why do FreeFlow masks have pleats facing both up and down?
The unique design of FreeFlow masks is such that as you open the mask fully to create the air pocket, its pleats expand, thus limiting the potential accumulation of moisture and debris.
