Readi Mask Wins 2011 Visionary Award

Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) January 27, 2011

Readi Mask won the 2011 Visionary Award at the VISION Consumer Products Conference held last week in Carlsbad, CA. In a case of David defeating several Goliaths, the Readi Mask beat out products from industry giants including Kimberly-Clark and Procter & Gamble to win the 2011 Visionary Award. “We are delighted to accept this award for our breakthrough product,” said John Schwind, CEO of Global Safety First. “The Readi Mask solves the two major design problems of traditional masks; leakage and portability. The adhesive perimeter prevents inward leakage permitting uncompromised filter performance. Using an advanced thin-film filter technology and incorporating a flexible anti-fog eye shield, the Readi Mask is folded into a package that easily fits into a pocket, purse or briefcase”.

The annual VISION Conference is organized by INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, and the Visionary Award is presented to a new consumer product that utilizes nonwoven fabrics in its final form. “The technical advances in the finished product, along with its novel and extensive use of nonwoven materials, proved to VISION attendees that the Readi Mask is truly a visionary product,” says Rory Holmes, President of INDA.

About the Readi Mask

The Readi Mask provides affordable, easy-to-use respiratory protection effective against most forms of harmful particulates, including viruses, bacteria, mold/spores, smoke, smog and dust. It is a pocket-sized, one-piece filter mask with eye protection that enables the wearer to breathe and see when exposed to particulates, and is the only mask to combine a filter integrated with a protective anti-fog eye shield.

A primary advantage of the patented Readi Mask over competing alternatives is the unique hypoallergenic medical adhesive lining on the inside perimeter of the mask, allowing it to adhere to the face like a band-aid guaranteeing a complete seal. Once this seal is created, contaminants are prevented from entering the perimeter edges of the mask, protecting the eyes and preventing them from becoming a pathway for transmission.

As a result of the flexible materials used, the Readi Mask can accommodate variations in facial sizes and shapes and is the first and only mask sized for children with full-face protection. It is manufactured in the U.S.A. using methods and procedures that conform to ISO 9002 quality control standards.
