Shilma™ is the true first fully transparent reusable mask providing complete protection against the spread of germs by projecting the expired air downwards using technology based on the Coanda effect.
The Shilma™ mask can be used comfortably enough all day long, at school, at work, in cafes, restaurants and even during sports. The mask is available in many styles:
While the regular masks direct most air upwards (straight into the path of the eyeglasses), the Shilma™ mask conveniently steers the air towards the lower body. This significantly reduces the spread of germs and, also, the fogging of eyeglasses.
Research and studies of the Shilma™ Mask.
The Shilma mask has been tested by the National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Bucharest, Romania, Laboratory of Solid-State Quantum Electronics using a schlieren interferometer built by Dr. Ciprian Dumitrache (Senior Researcher, CSIII).
The schlieren visualization technique enables the visualization of transparent phenomena (such as human breath or cough) in a non-invasive manner purely due to changes in the index of refraction of the media.
With the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 virus, the spread of airborne pathogens has become a great concern because of its potential impact, hence the need to wear a Shilma mask.
Surgical masks, also known as face masks, are intended to be worn by health professionals during healthcare procedures. They are designed to prevent infections in patients and treating personnel by catching bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose on exhalation, coughing or sneezing. They are not designed to protect the wearer from breathing in airborne bacteria or viruses whose particles are smaller.
