Comparing mask fit and usability of traditional and nanofibre N95 filtering facepiece respirators before and after nursing procedures

ConclusionThe nanofibre FFR demonstrated significantly better usability than the 3M FFRs. All respirators could not provide consistent protection for the wearer, as detected by face seal leakage after performing nursing procedures. Further improvement in the prototype design is needed to increase compliance and ensure the respiratory protection of users.
