We use a completely domestically sourced supply chain, which means all the materials that go into this mask are truly made in America that is critical to the biosecurity off our country.

我們使用完全國內採購的供應鏈，這意味著所有進入這個面具的材料都是真正的美國製造，這對我們國家的生物安全至關重要。

The pricing of many types of protective equipment remains elevated by shortages.

But getting a dependable supply of the materials, particularly the specialized layer of filtration material that makes them effective, is a challenge.
