Masks that can kill the swine flu virus will soon be used to fight this massive epidemic. Hong Kong, April 27, 2009 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Filligent, a biotech company headquartered in Hong Kong, is currently using its existing stock of anti-infectious BioMask masks to help people fight the new and deadly Mexican A type. Swine flu virus spreads around the world. The BioMask mask is the first type of medical mask that can kill influenza A virus within a few seconds of exposure, while retaining the breathability required by first-line medical workers and children. Frontline medical staff and children are often First of all, people who face infectious virus threats. “Humanitarian aid organizations and governments are at the forefront of combating infectious diseases, especially the prevention of the spread of the virus among children.†CEO Melissa Mowbray-d'Arbela stated, “We are deploying various resources Satisfy their needs. BioMask masks are particularly suitable for such situations." According to epidemiologists, in the first few months of the epidemic, an effective mask, such as the BioMask mask that kills germs, can reduce the number of infections from one million to just six. Up to now, the new swine flu virus has caused more than 81 deaths in Mexico, spread to the United States, and spread to New Zealand through air travel. It is crucial to adopt a containment strategy for this virus. "We need to fight for time, send antiviral agents or vaccines to their hands, or wait to develop new vaccines to deal with drug-resistant viruses," said Chief Executive Officer of Filligent. The EU-approved BioMask mask can kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses after exposure, and is an extremely effective weapon against the spread of swine flu. Swine flu virus is a type of influenza A virus. Influenza A viruses can survive hours to days in human hands and body surfaces. Human-to-human transmission also occurs when exposed to infected body surfaces. BioMask masks with automatic disinfection can reduce the risk of cross-contamination by continuously killing bacteria. The BioMask mask remains sterilized after exposure to the virus, so it is particularly suitable for children because children are generally careless and feel uncomfortable after wearing a mask. Filligent's BioMask masks can withstand the rigors of a pandemic epidemic. In addition to being a standard, affordable mask, it can also withstand fungal infections and extreme conditions, including damp, hot or cold conditions. BioMask masks have a flat shell and can be untied or adjusted at any time. "We are now working closely with distributors and humanitarian aid organizations to try to get the BioMask masks and other anti-infective products from our company to people in need as soon as possible," said CEO of Filligent. About BioMask "BioMask" relies on a "smart filtration" technology consisting of layers of materials that have been scientifically designed and tested. Its internal structure is provided with a unique active layer. This active layer has highly effective antibacterial properties and can actively detect and lock pathogens. , and then quickly kill it within minutes of contact. The patented product's BioFriend(TM) textile layer “traps†pathogens by mimicking the parts of human cells to which pathogens are usually attached, and then “destroying†them by destroying their surfaces (viruses) and cell walls (bacteria). As far as we know, many viruses, including influenza viruses, bind to the ends of sialic acid residues on the surface of human cell membranes. The bonding agent in the BioFriend(TM) fabric simulates the binding of sialic acid to the influenza virus. Typical masks (including standard surgical masks and N95s masks) are usually unable to kill the airborne pathogens. The technology that these masks rely on is only a passive mechanical filter design. Therefore, microorganisms attached to such masks or microorganisms in masks can continue to survive for several hours, greatly enhancing the possibility of cross-contamination. Compared with the airtight N95 mask, "BioMask" is superior in terms of efficacy, comfort and breathability. As part of the EU CE testing process, the “BioMask†was sprayed with a large amount of active influenza A smoke gas, which corresponds to 50 times the amount of virus contained in a normal human sneeze. (The Mexican swine flu virus is a variant of the influenza A virus.) In less than a minute, more than 99.9% of the viruses were killed. In addition, similar tests were performed using other viruses, and the test results were similar. When tested against all major routes of use, mouth and skin, the results showed that "BioMask" had no harmful effects on humans. "BioMask" has passed the skin bio-adaptability test and complied with the internationally recognized standard set in "ISO10933: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices". The purpose of such tests is to evaluate its cytotoxicity to cells, skin irritation after skin contact, and skin sensitization after multiple exposures. No cytotoxicity, skin irritation, or skin sensitization were observed during the test. “BioMask†is the first product in the new product range of BioFriend(TM), a brand of antimicrobial personal protective products under Filligent, which was introduced to the market this year. Through strict compliance with the European Community's "Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC", Filligent's innovative, antimicrobial "BioMask" design, efficacy and safety meet the strict requirements of the European Union. About BioFriend(TM) In 2008, Filligent developed a revolutionary technology, BioFriend(TM), which kills exposed viruses and bacteria. BioFriend(TM) molecular-level technology can be applied to base materials such as man-made fibers and cotton textile fibers. BioFriend(TM) "traps" pathogens by simulating the location of human cells to which pathogens are usually attached, and then "destroys" them by destroying their surfaces (viruses) and cell walls (bacteria). The microorganisms that BioFriendTM can kill include those that cause type A influenza (including epidemic viruses such as Mexican swine flu), herpes simplex, rhinovirus, common cold, measles, pneumonia, SARS, tuberculosis, streptococci, and nail-resistant Oxycillin Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) virus. By targeting only the risk factors in the virus, BioFriendTM's intelligent filtering technology optimizes masks in terms of breathability and comfort. With its ability to kill a wide variety of microorganisms, it can also be used in a variety of substrates, and BioFriend(TM) is naturally used in consumer products. BioFriend(TM) can not only contain and prevent the spread of the virus, but also has use value in the daily life of individuals. It can be used to prevent bacteria and viruses from contaminating and is safe and clean. About Filligent Filligent is a Hong Kong biotechnology company that develops advanced and affordable "smart filtering" technologies designed to prevent the spread of various diseases. By utilizing biochemistry at the molecular level, the company's patented technologies can search for and find various dangerous pathogens and chemicals from air, water, and various surfaces, including human skin, before they enter the human body. Kill it or reduce its activity. Filligent also has the technology to select and filter dangerous substances from air, water and various surfaces including human skin. Filligent provides the general public with advanced protective devices that they can afford to help them deal with a variety of infectious or other diseases. Filligent gives people "healthy choices." Pipe clamps come in many variations as the requirements for pipe fixing can range from simple anchoring in place, to more complex scenarios involving pipe movement or heavy loads. Pipe clamps, or pipe fixings, are best defined as the support mechanism for suspended pipes, whether that be horizontal overhead or vertical, adjacent to a surface. It is essential that the right pipe clamp is used to ensure the integrity of the installation.
