TOPAS-COVID19
Physiologically optimised protective masks suitable for everyday use
The starting point of the project was the Covid 19 pandemic, which brought about a drastic change in our way of life. One of the most important protective measures was the wearing of face masks. These also serve as a general protection against airborne pathogens. However, the use of masks has also revealed some challenges, one of the most critical of which is the poor seal to the facial contour. Developing a mask that adapts to the individual face shape was a formulated goal of the project.
