For Immediate Release

Darlington, WI, – RedBird Armor™ recently attended the 2009 International Swine Flu Conference in Washington D.C. Leaders in public health, business, science, first response, and non-profit sectors, gathered to learn more about the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus and how to prepare for the second and third waves of this virus. Representatives from RedBird Armor™ were invited so they could educate attendees about the new NT-V2 Mask, a unique N95 respirator, which neutralizes viruses and bacteria on contact.

RedBird Armor™ president, Tracy Wiegel, stated people were extremely interested in learning about the new NT-V2 mask. “We couldn’t believe how many key decision makers were hearing for the first time that there is a mask that destroys bacteria and viruses. We were happy to explain the advantages and benefits of this revolutionary product,” Wiegel said.

The H1N1 virus was not the only concern for these leaders who traveled to D.C. from all parts of the world. “Some pandemic planners were also interested in the NT-V2 masks because their countries were dealing with many cases of tuberculosis and MRSA,” added Kurt Wedig, Sales Director for RedBird Armor™. The unique design and cutting-edge technology of the NT-V2 Masks significantly helps to reduce the spread of deadly airborne viruses and bacteria such as tuberculosis, MRSA, anthrax and the H5N1 Avian Influenza.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the seasonal flu infects between 5 percent and 20 percent of a given population every year with 90 percent of the severe cases and deaths being the elderly. It kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people globally. However, because the H1N1 virus is new, more people and more age groups are susceptible. The WHO predicts that 2 billion people will likely become infected.

Because of information released by the WHO and CDC, Redbird Armor™ reports that some families are purchasing respirators such as the NT-V2, to help reduce spreading viruses from one family member to another. Other people responded they purchased the flu masks to have a tool to use until the vaccine is available. While others said they wanted to use the masks because they questioned the effectiveness and safety of a H1N1 vaccine.

RedBird Armor™ offers various products for pandemic planners to use against the threat of infection and global disease. However, the NT-V2 Mask is the newest in a line of pandemic preparedness products. The mask incorporates the renowned properties of silver with revolutionary design advantages to optimize fit, function and comfort.
