Medical professional, teacher produce new masks for healthcare workers

MACON, Georgia. (41NBC/WMGT) — Medical masks supply is limited for medical professionals and patients amid COVID-19. However, Dr. Jeff Langford and a Stratford Academy teacher have created a solution for the shortage of masks.

Dr. Langford, with Langford Allergy, says the masks have been designed and produced. He also says that his staff and patients utilize them daily.

Dr. Langford said, “[These masks] have a better viral filtration efficiency than the industrial-grade N95 masks.”

He says they are working to produce more masks for surrounding healthcare providers.

The masks are designed to fit for a variety of medical practices.
