Covid-19 has changed the world, as evident from the rapid advancement of innovations to accommodate new ways of living especially in the area of medical and personal protection equipment. For Malaysians, we still generally practice masking in crowds as health precaution, although we are now in endemic. While personal precautions are being practiced, there has been consistent requests from the public for an environmental friendly disposable face mask, which is consistent with global concern on environment sustainability and the need to reduce carbon foot prints on earth.
This sparked an eco-inspiration for MEDICOS, Malaysia’s leading face mask brand. Backed by over 30 years of expertise in helping millions live and work safer, MEDICOS is dedicated to raising the standards of healthcare and infection control solutions. Today, MEDICOS introduces XÙ HydroChargeTM Surgical Face Mask, the first-ever Natural EcoFiber surgical face mask* in Malaysia made from renewable and biodegradable material!
The name MEDICOS XÙ (pronounced “she”) is derived from a Chinese character: 续, bearing the meaning of “continuity”. Designed with sustainability, protection, and comfort in mind, MEDICOS XÙ is made of a renewable Natural EcoFiber. Large volume of wood pulp fiber is blended together with binding agents, forming a sturdy, naturally-derived material that is stronger than paper. Natural EcoFiber is also hypoallergenic, making it gentle towards sensitive skin types.
MEDICOS XÙ is the brand’s lightest face mask yet, providing 55%** better breathability without compromising on safety or performance. With 3 layers of protection, the signature HydroChargeTM filter delivers 99% filtration efficiency against viruses and bacteria as small as PM0.1, achieving an industry gold standard. For additional peace of mind, MEDICOS XÙ has also passed the EN 14683 Type II Test by Nelson Labs, USA.
In conjunction with the launch of MEDICOS XÙ, the brand invites customers to take a collective step towards sustainability! Partnering with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), MEDICOS will support the NGO’s Seed Bank Project, which nurtures the practices of protecting the natural environment. For every box of XÙ HydroChargeTM Surgical Face Mask sold from January to April 2023, RM1 will be channelled to MNS to support its eco-efforts.
Come & join MEDICOS XÙ in its journey of continuity – be part of a global effort in practicing better eco-choices! Together, we can do so much more for Mother Nature.
MEDICOS XÙ Natural EcoFiber Surgical Face Mask (RM21 for 30 pcs) is now available at MEDICOS’ official website (https://shop.medicos.com.my/), Shopee, Lazada, and Watsons online store ().
