When patients walk into a healthcare setting, they deserve to be seen, heard, and understood. But for individuals who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing, traditional surgical masks can turn a simple appointment into a frustrating—and sometimes unsafe—experience.
The Communicator™ transparent medical mask by Safe’N’Clear is changing that. This FDA-cleared surgical mask for deaf patients bridges the gap between protection and connection, helping providers communicate more clearly, confidently, and compassionately.

Unlike basic clear masks that offer low-level coverage, The Communicator™ is the only FDA-cleared transparent surgical mask with ASTM Level 3 protection. It’s designed specifically for hospitals, ERs, and surgical settings where both safety and clarity matter.
Key features include:
This blend of medical-grade safety and visibility makes The Communicator™ the leading choice for deaf-friendly PPE.
While Safe’N’Clear does not claim full ADA compliance, The Communicator™ is aligned with ADA-effective healthcare communication strategies. It supports equity by enabling clear communication with:
Every patient deserves to participate fully in their care—without barriers.
If your healthcare facility serves diverse populations, incorporating deaf-friendly PPE is a simple, powerful way to improve equity.
From intake to discharge, every interaction matters. When healthcare teams wear transparent medical masks, patients feel included—because they can see the words as well as hear them.
Break the barrier. Make healthcare more accessible.
