Description
The Aspen Bard Precept Isolation Mask (15100) is a lightweight, breathable isolation mask intended for general patient care and low-fluid-risk environments. Finished in a highly visible yellow color, it is commonly used for isolation protocols, visitor protection, and routine clinical interactions.
While it is not ASTM fluid-rated, it delivers strong particulate protection with a PFE >95% at 0.1 microns, making it a reliable choice where splash resistance is not required. Soft earloops and a malleable nosepiece enhance comfort and fit during extended wear.
