About Air-Wave.org

There is a worldwide shortage of personal protective materials for healthcare professionals due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new reusable face mask for medical staff who are caring for and treating COVID-19 patients has been developed in the Netherlands by teams of anaesthesiologists, universities and a consortium of companies, all supporting on a not-for-profit basis.

The design may help solve the global shortage of face masks and improve safety for healthcare professionals, especially during intubation and intensive care procedures where the risk of infection is highest.

The mask uses a unique 3D printed connector to link a popular snorkel mask to an industrial fan & filter unit to create a personal protection unit for use of longer duration.
