I HAVE CREATED THIS PAGE TO OFFER CLARITY ON HOW TO sew a mask
using HALYARD H600 medical fabric.
The Halyard material, which comes in a variety of sizes is typically discarded after surgical instrument are uncovered.
About 12 masks can be made from one sheet (29x29), and an estimated 500 to 1,000 sheets are likely available from hospitals.
To read more about this incredible material please read the article written by UF HEALTH anesthesiology team below.
