A Marlborough manufacturer of body sculpting products has transitioned to manufacturing N95-equivalent masks.
BTL, a manufacturer of non-invasive body shaping and contouring products, revamped several manufacturing facilities to produce face masks and respirators. Most recently, the company’s European facilities have been producing FFP2 (the European equivalent to N95) flat-fit respirator masks, for consumers and medical professionals. The respirator masks received both an U.S. Food & Drug Administration emergency use authorization and a CE Marking from Europe.
“There is little doubt that this pandemic has changed the way we all do business. BTL recognized that as a company, we needed to find a way to help our physicians and partners in the industry,” said Ron Borsheim, vice president of product development, in a press release.
More than 1 million masks are currently available for sale at BTL’s Massachusetts facility.
