For millions of people, communication is not just about words—it’s about seeing the full face where eye squints, lips curled, smiles relax, eyebrows move, and foreheads furrow. Traditional medical masks block visual cues, limit lip reading, and create unnecessary barriers for people who are Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or who rely on facial expressions for understanding.
The Communicator™ transparent medical mask by Safe’N’Clear is designed to break down those barriers. Featuring a clear, anti-fog window and ASTM Level 3 protection, it is the only FDA-cleared transparent surgical mask that supports both safety and accessibility—without compromise.
Why Accessibility in PPE Matters
Accessible communication is a human right. Whether in hospitals, dental clinics, schools, or public-facing workplaces, face masks should not prevent someone from understanding or being understood.
The Communicator™ was designed with visibility in mind. This deaf-friendly PPE supports more inclusive communication for:
- Patients who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing
- Children developing speech and language skills
- Individuals with cognitive disabilities or sensory processing needs
- Professionals in speech therapy, education, and customer service
This is not just a hospital communication mask—it’s a step toward equity in care and bringing new meaning to transparent communication.
ASTM Level 3 Protection Without Sacrificing Visibility
Many clear masks offer transparency but lack true medical protection. The Communicator™ meets ASTM Level 3 standards:
| Feature | ASTM Level 1 | ASTM Level 3 |
| Bacterial & Particle Filtration | ≥ 95% | ≥ 98% |
| Fluid Resistance | 80 mmHg | 160 mmHg |
| Intended Use | Low risk | High risk |
That means healthcare professionals do not have to choose between high-quality protection and accessible communication.
Aligned with ADA-Effective Practices
While not marketed as an ADA compliant face mask, The Communicator™ aligns with ADA goals by enabling clear, inclusive interaction. It supports better engagement for patients and students who rely on lip reading, visual cues, and facial expression.
Designed for Inclusion. Built for Safety.
Accessibility should be the default—not an exception. The Communicator™ is more than a transparent medical mask; a new innovative communication tool that brings visibility to every conversation.
