Mā Innovations business development officer David Smith tries a prototype of the company’s new face mask. New face masks designed to be more effective for frontline medical workers and more friendly to both people and the environment should soon be available to the public. Mā Innovations, a company launched by Massey University staff, is working on a new face mask, which has a two-way filtration system and a clear front so the wearer's face can be seen. The Mā mask has been designed to be long-lasting, with replaceable N95 filters to reduce waste compared with single-use masks.
