One Size Does NOT Fit All - Masks for Children
by mdsassociatesA critical component to personal safety is wearing a mask that properly seals against the face. This is only accomplished by wearing a face mask that properly fits the facial profile. Folks, an adult mask worn by child will not fit properly and consequently will not provide any respiratory safety.
Now as schools open, our government and educational facilities are mandating that kids bring and wear disposable protective face masks or reusable face covers to school to protect against the spread if covid-19 or they will not be allowed into school for educational classes.
Big and bulky, adult sized face masks can't be properly secured against smaller profile faces thus inviting airborne pathogens into the respiratory tract. With spot shortages of disposable masks throughout the USA, our children have been left with very limited options to protect their respiratory wellness, but that’s about to change.
MDS is proud to announce that we have a mask solution for the little people! Now available are specially designed youth sized disposable medical-grade protective face masks from Dynarex®. The smaller size (5.7" x 3.75") easily conforms to children’s faces for maximum protection against fluids and boasts an impressive Bacteria Filter Efficiency (BFE) > 98% against unwanted airborne particles.
