MSA Advantage 290:
MSA Advantage 290 Elastomeric half-mask respirator provides healthcare professionals a secure protection solution. The Advantage 290 enables user protection up to P100 level which is above N95 requirements. It is also a solution for source control which is achieved by eliminating an exhalation valve, thereby providing filtration of exhaled breath. Elastomeric respirators are a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative over filtering facepiece respirators such as N95.
Note: The Advantage 290 is approved for use with Advantage style particulate filter cartridges only. It is not approved for use with flexi, chemical or combination cartridges.
The Flexi-Filter Pad is a great alternative to a standard cartridge type particulate filter. Its swept-back design and low profile make it ideal for use under welding hoods or any confined space where a respirator must be worn. Low breathing resistance and light weight design provides superior comfort and efficiency. All MSA Flexi-Filters are NIOSH approved. The filters are built around a plastic frame, which forms a plenum through which the air flows. The filtration media is a composite of multiple-layered materials, which vary, according to the class and efficiency that are required. Thin layers of carbon media are added if a nuisance level of protection is required. There are convenient finger tabs on the filter for easy installation and removal.
