Albatross Health New England provides a 3-ply disposable mask that emphasizes gas-exchange efficiency, allowing for easy breathing during school activities. The unit is constructed with a melt-blown middle layer that meets general non-medical standards for particulate filtering. These masks are vacuum-sealed in inner packs, which helps maintain hygiene integrity during shipping and storage.
The 14.5cm by 9.5cm dimensions are strictly designed for children aged 4 to 10. The inner liner is designed to be non-irritating with low pilling, which is helpful for children who find masks "tickly" after wearing them for several hours. The nose bridge is a plastic-coated aluminum wire that can be shaped manually to fit the wearer's face, though it may require occasional re-adjustment to maintain a close fit.
Key highlights:
- Thin profile for high breathability in warmer weather.
- Standard blue colorway for school uniform compatibility.
- Lightweight design to reduce ear strain during long school days.
Practical reality suggests that the ultrasonic welds on the ear loops may detach under sudden lateral tension. To manage this, parents should consider providing their child with a backup mask. For children with glasses, a firm pinch of the nose wire is necessary to help minimize fogging, though the wire is softer than those found in premium medical-grade versions.
For a mask that offers a different "fish-mouth" shape to keep the fabric away from the face, you might consider the KF94 style masks for kids.
