This product is a wearable ventilation device designed to address skin problems caused by prolonged mask-wearing. It works by creating negative pressure to draw out the warm, humid air trapped inside the mask, thereby reducing the conditions that lead to skin irritation and related dermatological issues.
MASK RELIEF
The tube on the right side connects to a valve inside the mask using four small magnets, The connection makes it both secure and convenient to attach and remove. The purple section on the left is the main body of the device. It includes the wearing structure and part of the airflow pathway. Inside the elliptical housing, there is a small fan. When the device is turned on, the fan creates negative pressure to draw the warm and humid air out from the inside of the mask. The air then travels through the tubes and exits through the vent on the far left. That’s the basic working process.The top “necklace-like” band is used for wearing the device. It connects magnetically to the main body.
