Just to add to Nina’s excellent post, these are most likely coated with some form of chemicals, which some user will have an allergic reaction or will not be happy using. Ours are nano copper coated, every one is happy drinking out of copper pipes so will more then happy using copper coated masks. Imho, DYOR
Interesting article ExMs, although this product is not available yet and it is not disposable. I personally see their technology better suited in other PPE, like aprons, which could be reusable by medical staff. As far as masks are concerned, I very much doubt NHS would buy reusable. Furthermore, the price of this new mask is not yet known and would therefore be too early to assume that Joe public or NHS would buy it over the Pro-larva one. That is just my honest personal opinion, before I am labelled a paid ramper. Lol
So here’s why I can’t get excited about this company and it’s tech. Whilst I do believe there is potentially a market for Covid-killing masks I do not think the general public will get behind it. Currently in areas where masks aren’t mandatory roughly 20% of people where masks. And most of those are cheaper-quality masks. If masks are made mandatory again then unfortunately Joe Public will tend to go for the cheapest option. Unless the price-point decreases dramatically take-up will likely be poor. I’m sure the NHS will be looking at this tech but I’m hugely sceptical that they would be able deal with such a small company. I know they have done do in the past but that was when the pandemic first hit and there was seemingly no due- diligence being done at the time. But my main concern re this company has always been the fact that the tech is actually already available elsewhere. And if not the same tech, then very similar tech. A simple google will tell you that……

There are numerous examples of companies with similar tech/products all around the world.
