HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE ASKING FOR BETTER RESPIRATORY PROTECTION, TEAL BIO IS LISTENING - It’s time for an upgrade. The Teal Bio Respirator has a silicone mask body with partially biodegradable filters. It was designed with healthcare workers’ specific needs in mind, without compromising safety. Healthcare workers have made it clear, they want better respiratory protection. From better fit and comfort to environmental impact, it’s time for something different. For many healthcare workers, masks and respirators are necessary — with or without a pandemic — and are often worn for long periods of time throughout the day.

THE MAJORITY OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE WOMEN — SO WHY WERE N95 MASKS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR MEN?

A 2021 U.S. study found that women fail at higher rates than men when it comes to N95 fit testing. This is a serious problem, because N95 respirators and other masks need to fit tightly in order to be effective against bacteria and viruses. This means that current respirators are more often not compatible with the majority of our healthcare system, and that’s why Teal Bio is making a respirator that works for all genders.

But first, to understand why the N95 mask was originally designed for men, you have to look back at when it was invented and its original purpose. The first US government-approved disposable filtering face piece respirator was jointly approved by the US Bureau of Mines and the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in 1972 for protection against dust. It was mainly used by construction workers.

Hospitals are one of the largest contributors to waste, and while some of it is hazardous and must be incinerated, the majority is not. So, why isn’t it being disposed of in a more earth-conscious fashion? And what can individuals do to change this? We’ve put together five ways to reduce plastic waste in healthcare settings.

This is the plastic pandemic. In 2020 alone, 1.6 billion disposable masks ended up in our oceans, and they’ll take around 450 years to biodegrade. It’s time for change.
