BioMask helps minimize spread of flu

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention is warning providers to brace for a challenging flu season. Medline‘s recently-introduced BioMask is one way providers can target the flu bug. These masks eliminate 99.99% of all tested influenza viruses within five minutes of contact. The material absorbs influenza A & B viruses, wicking them away from the outer surface. The product meets ASFM F2100-07 standard as a High Barrier surgical facemask. It features a convex shape with ear adjustments and an anti-fog nose flap, according to the firm.
