Crosstex Ultra FogFree Level 3 Earloop Masks
Crosstex Ultra FogFree GCFCX-HF earloop masks combine ASTM Level 3 fluid barrier performance with an inner FogFree strip that helps reduce eyewear fogging. Each box contains 40 blue masks. An extra-long aluminum nose piece helps shape the mask across the nose, while fluid-resistant outer and white inner layers support its barrier construction. Choose this model for procedures requiring a documented high fluid barrier and an earloop design.
Key Features
- FogFree strip: Positioned on the inner layer to help reduce fogging of eyewear.
- Aluminum nose piece: Extra length allows shaping across the bridge of the nose.
- Fluid-resistant layers: Both the outer layer and white inner layer are identified as fluid resistant.
- Earloop attachment: Secures around the ears without ties behind the head.
- Material information: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Applications
Consider this Level 3 mask for dental and clinical procedures when the facility's assessment calls for a high fluid barrier against splashes and sprays.
The FogFree feature is useful when eyewear clarity matters during patient care. Continue using the eye protection required for the procedure; the mask does not protect the eyes.
For laboratory work, select PPE according to the specific exposure for each procedure. Where inhalation hazards require respiratory protection, use an appropriate approved respirator.
Selection and Fit
Check that the mask covers the nose and mouth and fits under the chin. Adjust it before beginning each clinical procedure, and avoid touching the front while wearing it. Replace a mask that becomes wet, damaged, or soiled.
The manufacturer reports fluid resistance of 160 mmHg for this model under specified test conditions. BFE and PFE values describe material test performance; they do not establish the protection achieved by a loose-fitting mask on a person's face.
Compare disposable masks and respirators by intended use and required protection. Follow the package instructions when positioning the nose piece and ear loops.

FAQ
Does FogFree mean eyewear cannot fog?
No. The strip helps reduce fogging; it does not guarantee fog-free eyewear under every wearing condition.
Can I wash and reuse these masks?
No. Crosstex identifies its surgical earloop masks as single-use, disposable devices supplied non-sterile. Replace according to the instructions and facility policy.
How many masks are included?
Each box contains 40 blue GCFCX-HF masks. ELM50 remains ASA’s internal SKU; its number does not indicate the box quantity.
