Keeo Life Kids Masks For Kids
It is being anticipated that the COVID-19 third wave will majorly affect children. The one prime factor which supports this claim is the vaccination status of children. Currently, there is no vaccine available for the children and the only line of defence for them is a face mask, hand sanitization & social distancing.
Face mask has become a vital part of our lives since the outbreak of COVID-19 (December 2019). However, still many people do not have the knowledge to choose the perfect one for themselves. The US Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) & the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommend N95/FFP2 Respirator (mask) or equivalent for effective protection against SARS-CoV-2, given its capability to provide both leakage & filtering protection to the wearer against the deadly virus. The use of cloth masks in place of N95/FFP2 respirators was banned in European countries to control the spread of COVID-19 second wave and was proven effective.
The strange fact about N95/FFP2 respirators is that before the COVID-19 pandemic, they were manufactured for protection in construction and other industrial-type jobs that expose workers to dust and small particles. As these jobs don't involve any children, there was no need to develop one for children. Now, the question arises what type of mask is suitable for children for protection against COVID-19?
The same question was discussed at the product development conference of the health care startup Keeo Life, the pioneers in Respirator & Surgical mask manufacturing. The answer is simple i.e. N95/FFP2 respirator which can perfectly fit the face structure of children. The simplest answer took restless night & draining day determination of the R&D team to develop a design that can accommodate all the safety requirements for a children's mask. The breakthrough was made, and history was written with the successful design of N95/FFP2 respirators for kids.
The first product was named 'Keeo Pro Kids N95/FFP2 Mask', which can provide 95% to 99% filtering efficiency along with leakage protection ensuring a tight fit against the nose & mouth.
Another breakthrough was made when the Keeo Life R&D team developed an organic anti-microbial coating which when applied to the mask, kills 90% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (tested & certified at International labs). This layer was introduced to the Kids mask and the product developed was named 'Keeo Pro+ Kids Self Sanitizing N95/FFP2 Mask'. The Keeo Pro+ series of respirators ensures dual protection by trapping & killing the virus on its surface.
Proper N95/FFP2 respirators are the need of the hour that is the only option to provide the required protection. Shifting to N95/FFP2 respirator for kids versus fabric masks, is a necessity & the best option available in the market is Keeo Life Kids Masks.
