ANSELL has announced the latest addition to its Active Infection Protection (AIP) portfolio, the Gammex N95 Respirator and Surgical Mask – extending the AIP range beyond surgical gloves.
This new mask uses a hybrid technology that incorporates the comfort of a standard surgical mask with the protection of a respirator. The GAMMEX N95 Respirator and Surgical Mask filters out 95% of airborne particles down to 0.1 micron in size, exceeding the worldwide standard for respirators of 0.3 microns set by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), US FDA, and Health Canada. This allows the mask to remove many airborne particles contained in surgical smoke and filter out 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacterial microorganisms. Its high filtration capability, combined with TYPE II fluid resistance, makes the new Gammex N95 Respirator and Surgical Mask a critical component in personal protection for Infection Control, Isolation, ICU, ER, OR and many other areas subject to airborne pathogens and harmful particles.
