ViriMASK Protective Oculo-Respirator


Scientists in Israel have designed a “protective oculo-respirator” that could be more efficient than an N95 (FFP2) mask while being more comfortable than a gas mask.
Totally covering the nose, mouth and eyes (while air can penetrate around N95 masks), the ViriMASK would use 0.1-micron filters while N95 masks would use 0.3-micron filters. The filters are multi-use and replaceable.
According to the company, the ViriMASK provides the ultimate protection against small particles, viruses including the Covid-19, bacteria and aerosols. Its main advantage compared to N95 masks would be preventing the inhalation of viruses and conjunctional contamination. It is also easy to wash and disinfect.
 This innovative respirator comes with a price however: on the company website, it costs between $20 and $30.

Savegrabber

Savegrabber - open door without touching the handle, press knobs without touching - additional barrier for the coronavirus and other germs Hi, this is my attempt to hopefully reduce the spread of the coronavirus or other germs, I call it the "Savegrabber". It is a hook-like device that allows the opening and closing of doors without touching the handle. There is also a tip to press buttons in the elevator or light switches. The touching surfaces are designed to be as small as possible, so the contamination should be low. My idea is to wear the Savegrabber with a retractable key chain on the belt or on a bag. If everyone would use this, I think this could be an additional barrier to germs. The print in PLA is sufficient and you can clean it using alcoholic  disinfect. https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26146-savegrabber-open-door-without-touching-the-handle-/files
