New Surgical Mask Provides Superior Seal

The “cinch and hug” single-tie design also provides close adaptation to the wearer's face for increased comfort, and the ties themselves are nonabrasive to the skin.

The Smart-Seal also features a closed-cell foam cushions that cover the nose and cheek bones while trapping moisture to prevent fogging, and a fog-reducing vapor barrier; and a large chamber with two rows of sonic bonds help to keep the mask filter away from the wearer’s face and minimize distractions. The Smart-Seal surgical mask is a product of Cardinal Health (Dublin, OH, USA), and provides fluid-resistant protection at 160 mmHg, as well as a bacteria filtration efficiency (BFE) equaling 99.9% and particulate filtration efficiency (PFE) of 99%.

“We developed the Smart-Seal surgical mask in direct response to customer indications that fogging was a problem,” said Lisa Ashby, president of category management at Cardinal Health. “The Smart-Seal mask offers the next evolution in surgical mask protection, addressing not only fog and fit, but also providing the highest level of filtration and fluid resistance.”
