Why Buy a Gill Mask?
1) It works
(proper fit, air tight seal design)
​
2) Cost Savings
(mask pays for itself < 2 months,
see business case below)
​
3) Save Environment
(only 10 vs 60 disposable masks get thrown away over 2 mth period)
Three parts
1) Reusable Mask
(plastic/silicone shell)
​
​
2) Reusable Filter Cartridge
(can load with various filters
eg. ASTM 1,2,3 or N95)
​
3) Disposable Filter
(cut your own or buy pre-cut,
then insert into cartridge)
​


- HOW do you manage
air-borne viruses
​
- USE PROPER DESIGN (reusable mask with replacable cartridges and tight/flexible silicone seal)
Gill Respirator Style Face Mask
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Proper Safe Fit & Comfort
COVID-19 is airborne, help combat airborne particles with an air-tight fit & seal (silicone adapts to face contours and is also hypoallergenic), disposable & cloth masks generally act as barriers to protect others and are not designed for air-tight fit
Multi-functional Use
a Gill filter cartridge allows for various filter types to be inserted so you control your level of protection based on the filter you insert (e.g. surgical, N95/KN95, ASTM Level 1/2/3,
dust, etc.)
Save Money
in less than 60 days the mask pays for itself (payback period) then every day after that the savings accumulate, savings are from filters since disposable masks will go 4-6 times farther (cut disposable masks into 4-6 filters) or also can buy pre-cut disposable filters (at lower $)
Save Environment
when using a traditional disposable mask over a 60 day period, 60 disposable masks are discarded (bio-hazardous waste), however with a Gill Mask you throw away only 10 mask equivalent (Gill filter is 1/6 size of a disposable mask), the Gill mask is reusable for years

Gill Mask is a
MID-LEVEL
TYPE
long lifespan
(wash & reuse),
filter cartridge allows for filters to easily be replaced daily or weekly,

NOTE:
filters can be cut by user from a disposable mask to maximize value and get 4-8 filters from one disposable mask
(e.g. dust, surgical, Level 1/2/3, select N95/KN95, etc)
OR
you can order from us packages of pre-cut filters (inserts) that are already cut to size for the cartridge
(ten filters/package)
​
* NOTE: with an increasing variety of N95/KN95 disposable masks it is recommended to contact us to confirm Manufacturers we have tested and passed or else buy from ISO approved factories and conduct independent testing
The most commonly tested filters that pass within the Gill Mask are from 3M
(e.g. 3M9210, 3M8210)

Are Gill masks & filters certified?
Our authorized licence to import medical devices (MDEL Licence) is # 13835. Our products include:
​
-
Gill Respirator Face Mask (ISO 13485 & 14001, EN10993, skin compatibility, C02, flammability, field of vision, head harness)

How does it differ from a surgical mask?
Basic face masks (e.g. surgical, dental, dust, home-made cloth) are not designed for airborne protection and act as barriers for splashes and large droplets.
Respirators are designed to protect against airborne contaminants such as aerosols that can float in the air for hours.
