Recently the Mesothelioma Center’s Rachel Gilner had the pleasure of interviewing Ron Matich, Respiratory Protection Specialist, founder & inventor of Breathe Safely LLC. Ron has committed himself to improving current respiratory protection equipment by ensuring there is a tight seal between the mask and the face of the user.
In this video, Ron discusses the leading cause of mask failure, known as inward leakage.
Keep an eye on the blog for more videos from our interview with Ron. Or if you can’t wait, head over to YouTube to get a sneak peak.
Do you have questions for Ron or other experts? Let us know in the comments.
