Covid-19 Response
PPE shortages are currently posing a tremendous challenge to healthcare systems, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have an established and secure supply chain of PPE and other medical equipment, plus we are able to customize and brand masks for corporate clients.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CORONAVIRUS (Covid-2019)?
Respect the hygiene recommendations in force for any respiratory condition:
Avoid close contact, keep a minimum distance of one meter from the infected.
Cough and sneeze into your elbow.
Use tissues.
Wash your hands regularly with soap or hand sanitizers.
In case of symptoms (fevers, cough, breathing difficulties), try to isolate yourself.
IS A MASK USEFUL AGAINST CORONAVIRUS (Covid-2019)?
Wearing masks helps prevent the spread of the virus. A person wearing a 3 ply or cloth mask is less likely to pass on the virus to others. For infected people in isolation, it is recommended wearing a medical mask.
Medical personal directly in contact with infected patients, should use a FFP2/N95 mask, as well as other personal protective equipment such as gloves, disposable coveralls and protective goggles.

KN95 MASKS
Approved by the USA as suitable replacements for the N95 mask. These face masks are the only masks said to in fact assist with the infection, as these fit best on the face. The molecular structure of the COVID-19 virus is large in size, so again not all face masks are effective as the face mask has to be able to trap the virus. The KN95 Face mask is said to be able to do this as well as this mask only allows small molecules through the catchment area.
“… the F.D.A. issued an emergency use authorization for KN95 Face masks. Regulated by the Chinese government, they are almost identical in performance to N95 masks. There are slight differences in their specifications, like a variation in the maximum pressure the masks must be able to withstand as a person inhales and exhales.
The F.D.A. said KN95 Face masks were eligible for authorization if they met certain criteria, including documentation that they were authentic.But many hospitals have not been willing to order KN95 masks because of uncertainty over whether imports would be allowed into their countries, as well as potential liability if they turned out to be counterfeit. But for some institutions, that may be a worthwhile risk if the alternative is no masks.”
