The Solution: SafeNClear

Transparent, antibacterial facemask has wide appeal


Children prefer the transparency in the midst of the sterility of hospital, white scrubs, garbed doctors, and anxiety with their medical issue(s). Hearing-impaired patients depend on lip-reading to understand conversations and to follow verbal commands. NOTE: John Hopkins University- 1 in 5 Americans has hearing loss to the extent that communication is affected. Elderly patients prefer to see the people they are interacting with in conversations. NOTE: 11,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day. Law Enforcement, Military, Firefighters/EMS who have up close contact with public can benefit. Dental, Optical, and Healthcare providers will get protection.

This mask can provide protection against bacterial and viral pathogens on contact and reduce human-to-human transmission.

Work done and new markets


American and European patent applications filed. Prototype alpha with preliminary clinical testing results. New markets not tapped include: (1) healthcare field masking the patients, (2) mass transportation industries such as: airline, subways, bus, trains, (3) enclosed populations such as daycare centers, college dorms, military installations, (4) employees exposed to public such as postal workers, mall
