When we meet people, we do so with all our senses. We feel them, hear them talk and see them. The coronavirus pandemic has shown us all how important facial expressions are in everyday life. Although a mask protects us, it significantly impairs interpersonal communication and our perception.
With the new face mask from Hengst Filtration, emotions are visible again. Interlocutors can see the mouth area and can therefore better understand speech and expression. The Hengst pure smile surgical mask is a fully-fledged medical protective mask with a transparent mouth area and integrated nose clip. Facial expressions and mouth movements become visible to us again. This enables clear communication with full protection.
The filter surface meets the requirements of the DIN EN 14683 standard for medical face masks. In accordance with the standard, various performance requirements were tested to ensure a quality standard. The bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) ≤98 %, the pressure difference for measuring breathing resistance and the microbiological purity ≤30 CFU were tested.
The MNS 08 medical surgical mask was developed at our development center in Münster and is also produced there in our air filter production facility under strict hygienic conditions.
Application examples
Nurses and nursing staff
Nurses in hospitals work in a sensitive area. In addition to medical care, emotional closeness is important to give patients a good feeling for their recovery. At the same time, the pure smile mask provides the same protection against infection with Covid-19 as a normal medical mask.
Care for the elderly
In retirement homes, closeness and attention are almost as important as protection against infectious diseases. With the pure smile mask, care staff can give residents a smile and protect them from coronavirus infection as usual.
Speech therapists and speech therapists
It is essential for speech and language therapists to be able to see their patients' mouth movements. This is now possible with the pure smile mask and its transparent mouth section. However, the patient remains fully protected.
