Hey there! We’ve noticed that it’s extremely hard to get some supplies these days, given that most stores are closed, stocks are few and far between especially for those items that help prevent the coronavirus.
We’re seeing this shortage and we understand that you would like to keep yourself and your family safe against COVID-19. So for a limited time only, you’ll notice that we’ve set up a new category page for this need: Our Health & Wellness page.
For now, you’ll find the following items on this page: Surgical 3-Ply Face Masks, N95 masks (also known as P2 masks), which we will hopefully expand for more health & wellness items that will help us all get through these tough times healthy & free of COVID-19.
If you are a healthcare worker, do let us know at sales@elinz.com.au and we’ll set you up with a special discount!
Let’s get into these specific items today within this blog entry, and we’ll be providing tips as well on how you can use them properly.
Surgical masks
There’s been a huge debate about whether you should really wear masks when you’re heading out of your home and we here at Elinz believe that you should. Between the incredibly transmissive and highly contagious nature of COVID-19, even breathing can contribute to the spread of infected droplets of the virus.
Taking into account the range of spread of droplets that release when a person is sneezing, it’s important that we all have some form of protection for our respiratory tracts, and the most immediate parts that need to be covered are the nose and the mouth.
Masks provide that much-needed protection for you, should you need to head out.
The surgical masks that we offer here at Elinz follow world-class standards, such as:
3-layer protective covering: Composed of three layers of protection with the outermost layer effectively keeping out any particles or droplets, the inner layers are composed of nonwoven fabric providing the highest protection available for you when you wear it.
Adjustable nose strips. To ensure the highest level of protection, all surgical masks include an adjustable nose strip that can be bent well to fit the curvature of your nose, helping to secure the protective nature of the face mask onto your face.
Extra-soft but durable ear loops. You certainly don’t want your face mask just breaking and we’ve made sure that our mask ear loops are very durable, but are comfortable as well, even for extended periods of usage.
Safe and breathable. To make sure that you’re able to use it comfortably, our face masks are very breathable and can be used for a long time, especially for healthcare workers that need to work for hours on end in a single shift.
As an alternative for surgical masks, we also have N95 masks available here at Elinz. While they are available, let’s keep in mind that if we do not work in the essential or healthcare industry, that we reconsider before purchasing an N95 mask.
But what makes the N95 mask very special?
Barring other masks that have active filters such as gas masks, the N95 offers the best protection for any protective covering masks out there. The name N95 comes from its function- it refers to the ability of the mask to filter out 95% of particulates and aerosols, which means that it’s the best option for when you want to protect yourself against COVID-19.
Polypropylene Outer Layer. This is a secure fiber that doesn’t restrict breathing, but effectively filters out the particles giving the N95 its first layer of defense. All N95 masks are required to have the designation of N95, otherwise, it isn’t an N95 mask at all.
4 layers. Counting the Polypropylene layer, there are 4 layers in total that ensure safety when using and offer the protection that a standard N95 mask would.
Adjustable nose piece and foam. This allows the mask to be used in comfort, while offering protection by fitting over your nose snugly as possible, preventing any particles or droplets from coming in contact with your nose and mouth.
Latex-free synthetic head strap. This intuitive design makes for an easier and comfortable fit on your head, allowing you to use other gear such as eyeglasses. This is even perfect for healthcare professionals that also need to wear protective eye coverings or faceplates.

No contact forehead thermometers
A fever is one of the main symptoms of the coronavirus, and should symptoms start to show, its one of the main reasons why a person becomes a PUI (a person under investigation).
These days, we all need to be vigilant and we need to keep a close watch on our family’s health; as the body tries to fight off the infections, it goes into a fever. To be able to monitor your family’s health, you need a forehead thermometer with a memory function and is able to accurately detect temperature, with an incredibly minuscule margin of error at 0.2.
Social distancing is also important, so this forehead thermometer is able to take the temperature at a reasonable distance. It also does it quickly, making sure that you don’t expose yourself at prolonged rates to people who are possibly infected.
There you have it- some of our new releases here at Elinz. We hope that you find what you need within our listings and that they are to your liking.
While these items, especially our masks can definitely help in protecting you against COVID-19, make sure to still practice social distancing and excellent hygiene practices such as washing your hands as frequently as possible. Masks do help, but when used in tandem with the aforementioned practices, you're giving yourself better protection against COVID-19.
Stay safe, and stay indoors.
