Introduced in September, the VFlex Particulate Respirators 9105, 9105S, N95 (photo) feature V-shaped pleats that expand to help provide a comfortable seal, and to flex with mouth movements for easier talking. The increased surface area of the V-shaped pleats, in combination with the patented filter media, results in lower breathing resistance and helps make breathing easier. VFlex respirators also feature embossed front panels, which helps them to retain their shape, and have side tabs designed for easy positioning on the face for a comfortable fit. A nose clip provides a custom fit and secure seal. — 3M, St. Paul, Minn.
