15 lut 2021 · This pilot study explored whether the placement of a silicone scar sheet (ScarAway®), Cavilon™, or Tegaderm™ affects 3M™ half-face mask respirator barrier integrity when compared to no barrier using QNFT. Data were collected from nine clinicians at an academic level 1 trauma centre in New Jersey.
31 gru 2020 · A variety of methods have been used to evaluate this new device, including a qualitative fit test with the Bitrex® test kit and filtration test. The preliminary results showed that the new elastometric respirators pass the fit test.
The Mask 1, Mask 3, and KN95 respirators had an FF of 52.2, 1.8, and 5.4, respectively. The Mask 2 (Low Poly Low Poly Covid-19 Face Mask Respirator) had a higher FF≥100. All subjects passed the quantitative fit testing of Mask 2 and the N95 respirator.
17 mar 2021 · We describe the development, manufacturing process and initial performance evaluation of a reusable N95 respirator, referred to as SSM (“Simple Silicone Mask”) hereafter, that can be manufactured on-site, using distributed manufacturing technologies.

Findings: The silicone scar sheet resulted in the lowest adequate fit, whereas Cavilon provided the highest fit factor when compared to other interventions (P < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings help inform clinicians considering barriers for comfort when wearing facemasks during the COVID-19 pandemic and for future pandemics.
