sterilizing mask for reuse

[url]http://misit.nl/[/url]  TU Delft created a new way of sterilizing masks at 121C for 15 minutes-so face masks can be re-used up to 5 times. Cost of sterilizing 10% of costs masks. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PumeDykuJt0&feature=youtu.be[/url];

In the fight against the increasing shortage of mouth masks, researchers from TU Delft developed in collaboration with Van Straten Medical B.V. a new way of sterilizing used masks and testing their quality. This could be a successful solution for the rising demand. Used masks have been transported and sterilized according to a specific protocol and tested at TU Delft and Reinier de Graaf Hospital. The results are promising. Recycled mouth masks could be a good alternative for the shortage of mouth masks and the possible high prices due to the corona crisis; the increasing demand from hospitals, care institutions, nursing homes and GGD’s was one reason for this study.
