No-Sew Face Mask

Intro: No-Sew Face Mask

Make this mask in a couple of minutes with minimal materials or tools.

I used a non-woven fabric that is discarded in the hospital after Autoclaving instruments. The material is air permeable and bacterial barrier. It's also splash resistant and hydrophobic. The instrument trays are open in the OR and this material goes in a separate plastic bag, then its removed from the OR before the patient enters the room, this makes it unlikely to get contaminated. We still leave it in a bag for several days before using it to allow any possible contaminating virus to die.

Very important: disinfect surfaces and instruments. Use masks, gloves and WASH YOUR HANDS, before making this masks. Especially if you are doing a batch for several users.

It makes a good mask and a good use of otherwise discarded material.

Stay safe, stay home.

Very easy to make. Thank you

I love that you made it in a way that doesn’t require sewing and it still works well with the self-adjustable pleating thats automatically created by the way that you threaded the cords to go around the head instead of the ears. Very intuitive, not to mention easy and learning from a medical worker further substantiates its effectiveness in my opinion. Kudos on your initiative to share with the public!
