Abstract

A reusable face respirator mask for respiratory protection comprising a body dimensioned to fit over a portion of a face of a wearer, including a rigid support component and a flexible seal component molded to the rigid support component, a replaceable filtering element sized and configured to removably cover the rigid support component, and a cover configured to removably couple with the rigid support component of the body. The filtering element is used to filter particles and/or pathogens from inhaled and/or exhaled air. A thumb release located on the cover allows the wearer to decouple the cover to accommodate frequent replacement of the filtering element. The flexible seal component is configured to interface with the face of the wearer and deform under moderate pressure to create a substantially airtight seal with the wearer's face.
