More Information
Summary:In an example, a mask includes a containment wall, a gasket, a nasal access in the containment wall, an inlet, and an outlet. The containment wall includes an inner surface, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, and a peripheral edge at an interface between the inner surface and the outer surface. The gasket is at the peripheral edge of the containment wall. The gasket can conform to the face of a wearer. The containment wall and the gasket define a chamber between the inner surface of the containment wall and the face of the wearer when the mask is worn by the wearer. The nasal access opening is aligned with a nose of the wearer when the mask is worn by the wearer. The inlet can receive a gas into the chamber. The outlet can exhaust out of the chamber the gas and aerosols exhaled by the wearer.
