A medical grade reusable and washable fabric/cloth face mask comprising a plurality of filtration layers located between a first and last layer of top quality cotton, polyester or other suitable fabric. In at least one embodiment, the present invention consists of an N95 grade filter. In other embodiments, the face mask consists of a plurality of non woven polypropylene melt blown material. The invention provides a high level of filtration and can be washed and reused.

The present invention relates to a unique therapeutic garment that wraps around the torso of a patient with a chest related ailment or recovering from a chest related procedure such as, without limitation, a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or the like. The therapeutic garment comprises a web, band or tube-like post-surgical wrap having two opposite ends along the length of the garment, which are secured together over the torso of the user. The therapeutic garment further comprises two pockets that are attached to, or integrally formed with, the wrap garment, such that one pocket covers the left breast of the wearer and the other pocket covers the right breast. Each of the pockets has an opening therein for receipt of a hot pack, cold pack and/or therapeutic device to combat swelling, pain and the like.

A personal protective device (PPE) including a face cover assembly and a bodysuit configured to be worn by a human user. The device protects users against airborne aerosol particles containing viruses or other infectious agents while enabling improved flexibility relative to prior art designs. The device includes a helmet-like” rotating face cover assembly that fits over the user's head and attaches to a collar on the biohazard bodysuit. This rotating face cover assembly has a plurality of different mask sides, each with differing geometries or other properties. The device enables a user to rotate (either manually or by electric motor) the masks and select a given mask side that best meets that user's needs. The different mask sides can accommodate different facial geometries, eyewear types, and use cases, such as operation in more hostile environments.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles that are resistant to pilling. The composite nonwoven textile may be finished by one or more of applying a chemical binder to a first face of the composite nonwoven textile and forming thermal bonding sites. The chemical binder and the thermal bonding sites help to secure fiber terminal ends and minimize the formation of pills.
