EcoMask, produced by the UK-based firm Intersurgical, is a range of single-use non-PVC anatomical anaesthetic facemasks that are lightweight and clearer versions of the reliable rubber facemasks. The company reports that this range has been enhanced by introducing non-slip rings around the full circumference of the mask shell to allow more grip, enabling a gentle but firm downward pressure to facilitate the seal with the patient. Colour coding has also been introduced on the mask seal to correspond with the mask size, speeding selection.
