The clear face shield helps guards the eyes from droplets.
The respirator provides an effective seal around the nose and mouth, and the breathing zone is protected by a high-efficiency filtration fabric.
The foam mask and securement straps provide comfortable protection that can be worn during long, active days.
How Does the COVEX Face Shield Compare to the “N95” Mask?
The thin, non-conformable edge of commonly-used N95 masks can bruise—or even scar—users’ faces with extended wear when applied tightly as required. Such facial damage has been seen as an unavoidable consequence of protecting against airborne pathogens like the Covid-19 virus. An equally effective, but non-damaging, alternative is clearly required. An innovative new respirator with a soft, conformable gasket has been developed to address this need. To that end, the efficacy of the COVEX Shield and Respirator was tested against a N95 mask regarding .3μm, .5μm, and 5μm-sized particles. The COVEX Respirator performed significantly better than the N95 mask and significantly better than control (no filter). These results suggest that the COVEX Shield should be considered as a non-injuring extended-use alternative to an N95 mask.
Covex™ Face Shield: Primary Features
Diversion Wings
Diverts exhaled air away from the face to prevent fogging of the glass and face shield while aiding in the fit of the mask and shield.
Filter
Disposable 2-stage filter
Premier high efficiency filter media (see specs) with a Pre-filter first stage that prevents gross contamination of the high efficiency filter by droplets or dust.
Anchor Straps
Comes with easily adjustable straps with comfortable neck cushion. Adjustable clips allow the Shield to rest against the chest while doffing without exposing the respirator to potentially contaminated air.
Face Shield
Lightweight, durable, non-distorting, high-clarity shield that helps protect the face AND respirator from gross contamination by airborne droplets.
Respirator
Effective air seal is achieved with relatively little pressure against the face. Conformable foam face results in much more comfortable mask, especially for prolonged use.
Exhalation Valve
Minimizes humidity buildup in the mask and degradation of the filter caused by humidity.
Why is COVEX Superior?
Effective
Achieves a good seal around the nose and mouth without damaging the face. Breathe through a high-efficiency filtration media.
Comfort
Conforms around the face for a more comfortable fit: designed for prolonged use.
Facial Protection
Covers all five vulnerable facial orifices from airborne particles.
