With two recent cases of the H5N1 avian flu virus having been confirmed near the Norfolk-Suffolk border, and an outbreak of the H5N1 avian flu virus set to transmit to humans at some point in the near future, many people working in the poultry farming industry are beginning to think about how they can protect themselves against this deadly strain.
With the antiviral drug for avian flu not widely available to the general population at present, an excellent way of helping to protect against the virus is through bird flu protector masks.
Clinova, an ethical pharmaceutical company with its global headquarters in the UK, has come up with something new, in the form of an extremely efficient mask and a kit, which are designed to prevent the virus from entering the body. The mask and kit comply with both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Health Protection Agency (HPA) guidelines for the minimisation of risk against 'Bird Flu'.
The Bird Flu Protector Disposable Face Mask is designed to prevent the virus from getting into the body through the mucus membranes of the mouth and nostrils. What makes this different from a basic respiratory mask is the higher filter efficiency and low breathing resistance it offers, due to the development of the unique FFP3 Synsafe™ filter material.
There are 3 levels of virus filtration, FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3; FFP3 offering the highest level of particle filtration, of at least 99% efficiency.
The H5N1 avian flu virus can enter the body through the mouth, nose and eyes. This can be via particles in the air, or from the hands, after being picked up from an infected area and then transferred by touch. A Bird Flu Protector Kit is designed to provide protection from all of these, as it contains the FFP3 mask, safety eye spectacles with a wraparound eyeshield, latex gloves and a waste bag for safe disposal.
Clinova is also offering businesses and organisations special consultancy services, providing a full pharmaceutical and medical assessment of a company's needs and current level of preparedness for the Bird Flu Pandemic – carried out by their team of expert Pharmacists and Doctors. They will advise on the most appropriate course of action and the most appropriate personal protection equipment to be used, as well as give an introduction to reference guidelines on Bird Flu Protection and Contingency planning using the most up to date sources of information available.
Clinova, the pharmaceutical company that makes these unique COVAFLU™ masks and kits, does not test any of its products on animals. It also embraces the very highest standards of honesty, ethical behaviour and exemplary moral character; and aims to do what is right for both its customers and their communities. So by choosing Clinova you can also be assured that you are using a more ethical way of protecting yourself from this virus.
COVAFLU™ is available to buy from John Bell & Croyden, one of the world's most prestigious pharmacy groups and the Queen's chemist. All items will be available from their Wigmore Street branch in central London.
