N95-equivalent mask helping northwest Indiana medical community.
Urschel Laboratories, a Chesterton, Ind., maker of food cutting equipment, is using its 3D printer capabilities to manufacture reusable medical masks for health care workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The mask we are producing is the closest we could get to an N95 (the gold standard in the healthcare field) [although] they are not tested for an N rating,” said Jeff Zielinski of inHealth Integrated Care, which is partnering with Urschel on this project.
“We are confident these masks will offer a level of protection healthcare providers desperately need that they currently do not have access to.”
The masks will be distributed to the northwest Indiana medical community. Urschel encourages other businesses with 3D printers to partner with health agencies to make a difference.
