Elastomeric Harnesses Decrease Aerosol Particles Leak and Improve the Fit of Surgical Masks

2021-09-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Importance</h4> The outbreak of Coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) disease has increased demand for N95 respirators, surgical masks, and other facial coverings to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Research shows that N95 respirators perform the best at filtering viral droplets and aerosols, however these masks are much more difficult to manufacture and expensive to distribute on a large scale,...
