Face masks?

[Natm81]

Hi, has anyone found a face mask that’s compliant with what we need but also reusable/washable? Whilst priority is keeping ourselves and clients safe it’s so costly buying disposable ones since the update on needing to wear medical grade masks not to mention the amount of rubbish it’s creating. Also I find that the masks where the elastic fits around the back of the head is far more comfortable and I’m yet to find a medical one that fits this way. Any ideas?! Thanks!

Ravair Ltd have been providing, free of charge, "Flexzorb tm Face Masks" with all their units and to local GP's, Dentists etc and East Sussex Social Services. These, at present, are disposable face masks with Flexzorb Military Grade Filter Material Added, see Flexzorb for full details. Flexzorb tm is an Activated Carbon Material used worldwide,"it was initially used- and still is to this day-as a protective layer in military clothing and masks against chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear (CBRN) agents". Ravair Ltd use Flexzorb tm Material FM10 T230 Laminated to Black Daltex with Impregnated Pure Silver that "deactivates the virus". This science is fully backed up by a 28 page Independent report by Health Protection Agency England, at Porton Down. It is also used in first responder suits, and space suits. The electrostatically positively charged material "attracts molecules from various gases, liquids, and other environments such as negatively charged virus (all viruses are negatively charged) adsorbing them into a network of micropores and "deactivating" them."
Next week Ravair Ltd are introducing a washable three layer cotton face mask, picture below, that has a "pouch" to insert the Flexzorb tm into, while in use and is easily removed to wash the mask and then replaced. Refill packs of 3 flexzorb tm filters will also be available so the mask will be a "one off" purchase. (Hands must be scrubbed or sanitized before handling the mask or flexzorb tm but that applies to any mask.) "One gram of Flexzorb tm contains more surface area than half a football pitch" so with careful handling each flexzorb tm, filter should last several weeks. The mask is graded IIR which is better than the recommended grade 2.
The actual mask will have adjustable ear straps, and cost only £14.95 with refills at £12.95 for three.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I had seen the website and looked at the disposable product but will definitely look at the reusable mask and carbon filters. Regards, Natalie

Hi, These masks are fantastic, without doubt the best on the market! Made in lightweight washable cotton that doesn't stick to the face and cause acne, adjustable ear straps, an adjustable "bridge" that ensures no gap on the nose so you can wear glasses without them steaming up and most importantly with flexzorb filter that will KILL all Viruses. There are two sizes, adult and child, and they will be available on the Ravair website from today, 14/09/2020. www.ravair.co.uk

This company came up on Facebook this morning - Affordable, UK-based High-Calibre Masks and Respirators
They supply fully recyclable masks & are soon going to supply the surgical grade 3ply masks so might be worth a look.
If your local council does not recycle, the company provide a box for you to send back to them & they will recycle them for you.
