Cost-savings with Gill™ Mask

Gill™ Mask, when compared with N95 respirator, is a cost-effective solution. On an annual usage basis, an organization can save up to $1,000 per user if they chose Gill™ Mask for their staff. By having a more economical choice of disposable filters, high risk front liners do not have to re-use their N95s after repeatedly exposed to high-risk situations.
