North Carolina-based Nufabrx, a proprietary biomaterial company that seamlessly embeds active ingredients, including vitamins, supplements and medications, into fabrics, recently announced partnering with Bossong Medical and Manufacturing Solutions Centre to shift production for a new line of reusable copper medical masks called TheraMasks.

These masks are powered by CuTEC copper, a material that is naturally anti-bacterial.

TheraMasks is the first-of-its-kind, reusable, CuTEC copper powered mask that lasts up to 30 washes. Already overwhelmed by inquiries, the company will be prioritising distribution to healthcare workers and first responders, said Nufabrx founder and chief executive officer Jordan Schindler in a press release.

The products are not only beneficial to medical facilities but also to nursing homes, home care attendants and the aged. They are currently being used by hospitals, the New York police and fire departments.

Copper has been shown to be a natural deterrent on bacterial growth. These medical masks are designed to help reduce the spread of germs through the natural benefits of copper; the fabric also creates a healthier environment for the wearer by reducing facial contamination. The products are durable enough to be machine washed and dried, or by hand with hot water.

TheraMasks are environmentally friendly, and are not intended to be thrown away daily like disposable masks.
