MONTREAL, March 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - The Medicom
Group ("Medicom"), one of the world's leading manufacturers of
surgical and respiratory masks, today announced the launch of
Medicom Expressions, the company's first face mask designed for
non-medical use. Historically, Medicom products have only been
available to healthcare and other professionals through a network
of authorized distributors, primarily in the medical and dental
sectors. The Medicom Expressions line, the company's first
direct-to-consumer brand, is now available to consumers in the U.S.
and Canada online through
Amazon.com and soon, through Amazon.ca.
Infection control experts, such as the CDC and government
authorities around the world, have recommended that masks be worn
in public places or whenever social distancing is not possible.
These guidelines have created new selling channels for
manufacturers and given way to new brands of face masks to meet
increased demand. However, not all masks offer the same protection,
breathability and comfort. Medicom Expressions face masks are made
especially for consumers by the same experts trusted by healthcare
professionals for more than three decades.
"Medicom has been manufacturing PPE and helping protect
healthcare professionals for over 30 years. We have applied
those years of expertise in designing our new Medicom Expressions
consumer face mask," explained John
Tourlas, Medicom President, North
America. "We believe that providing access to a comfortable,
highly breathable mask will help consumers follow the
recommendations of health authorities. We are confident that this
is the right time for Medicom to launch a direct-to-consumer brand,
as many new players are either unknown or are only just learning
the art of manufacturing face masks."
Throughout the pandemic, Medicom products have helped keep
frontline healthcare workers safe, despite the challenges posed by
exponential demand, raw material shortages, and import/export
restrictions. As Medicom continues to add manufacturing capacity
around the globe and set up new manufacturing facilities in
Canada, the US, the UK,
France and Singapore, the company plans to expand the new
consumer line to include a wide range of colours and patterns made
at medical-grade mask factories around the world.
Medicom Expressions consumer face masks are available for
order today in blue and black on Amazon.com and soon, through
Amazon.ca.
