The 9322 Gen3 offers safety and comfort in its third generation. It is designed for optimal wearing properties and combines safety, comfort in wearing and handling to provide the greatest benefit for the mask wearer. The Cool Flow comfort valve opens more easily than the Cool Flow valve of the previous generation. More warm exhaled air can escape, preventing heat buildup under the mask. The application aids on the top and bottom of the mask, along with the new grip function for holding the mask at the valve, allow for easier and more hygienic opening, pre-shaping, putting on, and adjusting the mask on the face. The textile, color-coded comfort straps are durable, tear-resistant, and comfortable to wear. To ensure that the mask wearer can be confident that 3M original products are in use, 3M has introduced the 3M Safe Guard process for authenticity verification with the Aura of the third generation.
