Carey mask

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Carey masks!

You know how when we go outside, we have to wear a mask to protect us from germs and other harmful things? Well, Carey masks are just like that, but for people who work in hospitals or laboratories.

These masks are very special because they help the doctors and scientists working there stay safe too. They have a hard plastic part that covers their face and a big clear plastic shield that goes over the front of their head. This keeps any coughs or sneezes from spreading to others and also prevents anything harmful from getting into their eyes, mouth, or nose.

Carey masks have a special filter inside that makes the air they breathe in extra clean. They're made to be very comfortable to wear, so that doctors and lab workers can wear them for a long time without feeling tired or uncomfortable.

So you see, Carey masks are very important for people who work in hospitals and labs because they help keep them safe from germs and other harmful things that they might come into contact with during their work. They allow them to do their jobs without the worry of getting sick or hurt, and that's a very good thing!
