From Bench to Breath: Material Integrity and Performance of Filtering Facepiece Respirators and Surgical Masks After Multi-Cycle Dry-Heat Reprocessing

Dry heat inactivates pathogens on personal protective equipment without chemical residues, but its effects on material integrity and performance across multiple reprocessing cycles have not been comprehensively assessed. We evaluated five filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) models and three surgica...
