(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\u201cAt the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Owens &amp; Minor acted with urgency and investment to deliver an increased supply of facial protection products, including procedure masks and N95 respirators,\u201d said Edward A. Pesicka, President and CEO of Owens &amp; Minor. \u201cWe are laser-focused on providing the highest quality products that are specifically designed for medical staff and essential workers. Frontline workers need protection now, and we are working tirelessly to meet that need.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSince February, Owens &amp; Minor has acted across four key categories and is poised to help support the nation\u2019s critical facial protection needs:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Surgical N95 Respirators:<\/b> Over 1000% increase in N95 production at three Americas locations, including additional manufacturing assets in Del Rio, Texas and Lexington, N.C.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Surgical and Procedure Masks:<\/b> Nearly 100% increase in surgical and procedure mask production through new capital investment and improving efficiency of operations in Acu\u00f1a, Mexico\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Face Shields: <\/b>Over 600% increase in face shields through new capital investment in Acu\u00f1a, Mexico\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Raw Materials:<\/b> Additional, dedicated meltblown fabric manufacturing line in Lexington, N.C. to ensure end-to-end control of Owens &amp; Minor supply chain, providing self-sufficiency from base material to finished mask\u2014unlike other suppliers who rely on supply from Asia\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe significant improvements across Owens &amp; Minor\u2019s facial protection categories were made possible by capital investments, improved rates of operation and increased production capacity to 24\/7 shifts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cUnlike many other manufacturers of facial protection products, Owens &amp; Minor has more than a century of healthcare experience and is proud of our Americas-based manufacturing of medical-grade N95s dating to 1997,\u201d said Pesicka. \u201cWe stand ready to provide protection for healthcare workers on the frontlines battling flu and COVID-19. Our Surgical N95 Respirators are made to protect frontline workers from airborne illnesses, which is why the form, fit and comfort of our respirators are of paramount importance.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOwens &amp; Minor\u2019s HALYARD* FLUIDSHIELD* Surgical N95 Respirators are:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>100% Medical Grade:<\/b> While the FDA has granted temporary emergency use authorization for some industrial grade N95s, HALYARD* FLUIDSHIELD* Surgical N95 Respirators are designed and manufactured in accordance with our own FDA cleared 510(k).\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Made in the Americas, from Base Material to Finished Respirator:<\/b> Unlike suppliers who rely on sources from Asia, all HALYARD* FLUIDSHIELD* Surgical N95s are manufactured in the Americas.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Highest Level of Protection:<\/b> All HALYARD* FLUIDSHIELD* Respirators deliver Level 3 splash and spray protection\u2014the highest recognized level of protection.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Specially Designed for Medical Staff and Essential Workers:<\/b> The duckbill breathing chamber is more than twice as large as the leading surgical N95 respirator and exceeds NIOSH standards for breathability. Because proper snug fit is critical, HALYARD-brand N95s come in a range of sizes, with malleable nose wire to adjust fit. They have strong elastic straps that are securely bonded\u2014not stapled\u2014to the mask.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Reliably Supplied Every Day:<\/b> With manufacturing investment and end-to-end control of its entire supply chain, Owens &amp; Minor has been able to ramp up N95 production to consistently exceed customer historical usage levels even during the pandemic.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nOwens &amp; Minor proactively engages with AAMI, NIOSH and ASTM guideline panels to keep abreast of evolving standards and ensure the best protection provided by its products.
