Reply To: N95 transparent respirator mask

Hi Diane,

Great question.

Back in the pandemic I did do a small facility based trial with a transparent masks. We did not end up purchasing.

I am sure design/manufacturing qualities has improved since then.

Could I suggest working with the supplier/manufacturer to obtain a supply and undertake a small study yourselves. Consider: compliance to N95/P2 requirements, HCW comfort, ease for others to lip read, durability. Generally staff and residents are happy to provide feedback Its a great continuous improvement project.

All the best

Carrie
