​The patented AeroShield is solving the challenges to airborne infectious diseases. Our business is to transform the PPE space, one category revolution at a time. Our team members are engineering, technology, and business veterans, committed to re-shaping the products around us. ​The patented AeroShield is a breakthrough advancing the state of the art for current mask design since it completely rethinks the mask by using proven laminar flow technology in a revolutionary way. It is the first mask to use miniaturized laminar flow which allows the AeroShield to bring together the best of both masks and face shields and make an accessible, user-friendly product, with the potential to increase uptake. The AeroShield is whisper-quiet, weighs less than a pound, and runs 6-8hrs on rechargeable batteries. It is the first face mask to effectively use fluid dynamics and laminar flow to replace the physical, opaque material barrier of a traditional mask with a clear “air curtain” barrier.
