5 key elements:

Pathogen protection – Highly effective in filtering 99.99 per cent of harmful airborne bacteria, and protecting against many influenza viruses. It can also reduce intake of noxious gases such as formaldehyde.

Particle capture – Efficient in capturing 99.67% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns  (PM0.1) or 100 nanometres. [Averge diameter of ‘flu viruses has been estimated at 70nm.]

Comfortable and breathable – Extensive research and analysis have resulted in a mask that can be moulded to fit every face comfortably. Adjustable ear loops and noseband form a perfect seal.

Allergy protection – Helix™ filter uses natural New Zealand wool. It is natural, comfortable and soft, effectively filtering dust in the air and most allergens like pollen, mould, dust mites etc. May reduce the occurrence of respiratory allergies, such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma.

Safe and skin-friendly – The fabric is safe and non-toxic. It's easy to put on, comfortable to wear and offers the user an effective level of protection.

The makers also claim that the mask’s high-tech materials, quality of workmanship, and replaceable filter reduce the build-up of moisture and heat, making MEO™ a highly breathable face mask “so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing it.”
