COVID19 Reusable N95 Masks
Donation protected
There are simply not enough N95 masks to meet the demand, especially the near term future demand. We can produce these for approximately $1.50 per unit. Absolutely 0 profit.
This prototype represents a mask that is:
Reusable
Airtight
Conforms to many face shape variants
Designed to wear for extended periods of time (12+Hrs)
Easily changeable filter
Filter material is readily available (HEPA filter vacuum bag paper)
We are rapidly developing the next prototype, which will have a better seal design in the nose and chin areas. It will also feature a filter assembly that is separate from the mask body. This will enhance filter quality. As well as a better head strap design (ETA 3/25 ) The material used to make the prototypes is a hard plastic, which is not as flexible. The final product will be made using a flexible polyurethane. This will provide a consistent seal to the face, and comfort for long periods of wear.
There are approximately 20k nurses (RN 17k/ LPN 3k), 3k physicians, and many more uncounted volunteers in the state of Idaho, according to labor.gov data. If we can make a difference in supplying them with the PPE they need to keep our communities safe and healthy, then we should.
If you can't donate, please consider volunteering.
