Description

N95 Face Mask ElasticTightener

Intended for use with masks that have 2 elastic bands running along the back of the head, not around the backs of the ears.

Use: Intended to remove some of the slack in the elastic band on face masks which may result from extended and repeated use. Not intended to be a substitute for a properly fitting mask. 

Care & Use:
Made of 3D Printed PLA Plastic
Can be disinfected using: 

  • Rubbing Alcohol
  • Mild Cleansers
  • Soap and Water

I have included an extra file to print additional tools if they become lost. Alternative items that can be substituted for the tools: toothpick, pencil tip, paper clip.

I have also included a trifold set of instructions that can be included with the N95 ElasticTightener and tool. Print front and back (two sided) SHORT EDGE BINDING. Cut into thirds and trifold like a fan.
