Face mask

The textile face mask forms a barrier for hand-to-face contamination and minimizes the transmission of airborne organisms from coughing, speaking, sneezing or respiration from persons nearby. 

The Carefix Barrier Masks have successfully passed the required tests defined in the new EU standard CWA 17553¹  for Community Face Coverings and AFNOR SPEC S76-001with the following impressive results:

The face mask is in a seamless and so-called one-piece tube design, eliminating the use of irritating elastic bands around the ears. The design of the product ensures an easy and safe use as well as a good fit, so that the mask stays in place and is extremely comfortable to wear. 

Compared to the current single-use face masks, the Carefix face mask is better for the environment, as it is washable and can be reused multiple times.
