The cushion applies gentle pressure across the cheeks, optimizing mask conformity to the face and minimizing air leakage. By enhancing the mask's seal, the Nose Cushion increases overall mask efficacy and provides users with greater protection and comfort. The product aims to address the common issue of ill-fitting masks, ensuring a more secure and reliable barrier against airborne particles.
