The 'Active Mask' concept has been designed by Katapult Design as a solution for enhancing health and wellness in the new normal, while also keeping a focus on comfort. The face mask is designed with a reusable construction to eliminate the need for disposable alternatives and boasts a one-way air intake valve along with a central exhaust valve for more effective filtering. This will work to filter air in both directions and enhance peace of mind when it comes to air quality concerns by filtering out dust and more.
The 'Active Mask' concept maintains a tight seal on the face thanks to a medical-grade silicone construction that will easily mold to the face and is easily cleaned between uses.
