Abstract
Zoonotic retroviruses can cause widespread morbidity and mortality. Preventive vaccines are currently available for a limited number of viruses. Since an effective vaccine against COVID19 cannot be developed yet, personal protection equipment (PPE) is essential, especially for protecting the healthcare providers against such contaminations. Full face protecting equipment has a vital role in PPE. During the April 2020 spreading period of the COVID-19 epidemic, filter adapters were required to create a snorkel based full face mask as a PPE. This study aimed to report different production methods for filter adapters, features, advantages-disadvantages and combining the resulting mask’s physical characteristics and cost analysis.
