Abstract

The nose mask is intended to be used during an airborne pandemic. The nose mask is a single triangle/cone shaped that covers only the nose, that comes with two ear elastic bands or a single head elastic band for support. The nose mask is designed to be disposable with a filter for better protection and to minimize the passage of aerosols, fluids and airborne pathogen agents or to be made with washable material allowing users to re-use it.
