The certification and UKCA/CE mark series of the international company Globus Group, whose Alpha Solway factory is located in Gorburn, will include one of the first transparent FFP3 masks, which can be used by healthcare professionals and all industries that rely on visual communication, providing the highest The level of respiratory protection.

The transparent face mask designed and manufactured in the UK provides a breakthrough for specific audiences, especially children and the elderly, as well as people with hearing impairment, learning disabilities, autism or dementia.

As the boss of Globus said, being able to properly communicate with patients, especially those with communication difficulties, is essential to the safety and well-being of patients in healthcare.

Effective communication, especially in a medical environment, relies on positive non-verbal elements such as expression and emotion.

The Globus Group meets this demand by producing new and innovative transparent HAIKA MX C and Alpha Solway HXC-2 and HXC-3 masks.

The design of the mask adds a transparent anti-fog front panel, which is positioned to prevent reflections and make lip reading easier.

This helps improve overall communication, allows the wearer to share a friendly smile, and makes the conversation more natural and easier to understand.

This innovative transparent mask series is designed to improve comfort and breathability, as many frontline medical staff wear masks for several hours at a time. These masks can also be used in a wide range of applications in industries other than healthcare, such as the public sector, retail, education, leisure, and hotels.

Steven Binney, MD, Alpha Solway said: "Our breakthrough in transparent breathing range has resulted in an estimated 12 million people in the UK suffering from hearing loss and it will be difficult to communicate with people wearing masks as the new coronavirus pandemic continues. It is invaluable. Active nonverbal communication has been shown to reduce patient anxiety and provide better results. It convinces patients that the doctor is sensitive and understanding.

"Although our current line of masks and respirators provide the highest level of protection, these new products will bring significant benefits.

"Our medical team has been working closely with NHS staff to develop this new product line to help them interact with patients and each other."
