SPIbelt Public Grade Face Masks
Designed to slow the spread of infection by preventing people from touching their noses and mouths, and by helping contain coughs and sneezes. If the general public uses this type of mask instead of medical-grade masks, it will free up medical-grade masks for professionals who need them.
From Dr. Luke Padwick, founder of Austin Emergency Centers:
“Non-medical grade masks don’t filter viruses but are still useful for
the public as barriers. Number one, all of us touch our face about 100
times a day without realizing it. When you’re wearing a mask, when you
touch a handle or doorknob then rub your eyes, nose, or mouth, the mask
will prevent you from putting the virus in you. The non-medical grade
masks also create a barrier that reduces the likelihood of one person
spreading pathogens to another through sneezing, breathing, or coughing.
It contributes to public safety.”
