Innovative Protective Masks Made in Serbia Soon to be Available in Retail Stores – First Quantities Donated to Health Workers

CCS Solutions has so far produced around ten thousand protective masks of a new kind, with a replaceable HEPA filter for multiple, long-term use, and the production has been carried out in three shifts since recently, so the plan is for over 100,000 to be produced over the next month. The lack of medical equipment, primarily protective masks, everywhere in the world, has caused local innovators to rely on their own inventions.

– Our wish is for every citizen in Serbia to own a mask, not just for the pandemics such as this one, but also in situations when the air pollution is increased, or when there's a greater concentration of pollen in the air, and similar situations – they say for eKapija.

So far, a total of around 700 sets of masks and filters have been delivered to hospitals in Kikinda and Valjevo, the Health Center of New Belgrade, the Clinical Center of Serbia and the Clinical Center of Vojvodina.

– The list will expand very quickly, as we are in the final phase of signing contracts with a lot of institutions – they point out.

An invitation to public health institutions in Serbia to apply for a donation is open at the zelenamaska.rs website. At the same address, interested companies can buy masks for their employees, and, for every 10 masks bought, they can donate a mask to the institution of their choice.

– The plan is for over 10,000 sets of masks and filters to be donated. In the next period, deliveries of donations are expected in Sabac, Cacak, Kragujevac, Nis, Bor, Negotin, Sombor, Subotica, Novi Sad and Zrenjanin – they explain for our portal.

These green masks can currently be found in retail in three pharmacies in Belgrade.

– We are actively working on expanding the retail network, so we want to use the opportunity to invite all the interested pharmacies to address us, so that we can cooperate and achieve the goal more easily together, namely, having each citizen in Serbia be able to own a green mask – CCS Solutions says.

As eKapija already wrote, the masks can be used multiple times, feature a unique ergonomic design, fitting the face, and the air passes only through the filter, which filters viruses, gases, pollution and particles. The filter is replaced after 120 hours of use, that is, after around 14 days, or once it appears to be clogged.

Let us remind that the Innovation Fund has secured RSD 53 million for financing 12 innovative projects by companies whose aim is to suppress the effects of the pandemic caused by coronavirus.
