The crisis for medical supplies caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has made us at Custom Surgical focus primarily on helping to prototype, print and share all the ideas from anyone involved in healthcare that could help.
MedSHIELD19 Mask Set with customized snorkeling masks
We supported the initiative of Dr. David Kohn and Dr. Cristian Muñiz of turning regular snorkeling masks into protection masks by adding HME filters through 3D printed adaptors.
The system is composed of 3 parts:
Full face snorkeling mask: This is not 3D printed, but commercially available *see below under the “Compatible masks” section)
3D-printed adaptor: specific to each mask model. We’ve currently adapted to the two models below, but we’ve also published IGES and F3D files in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/ferbeab/MedShield-19. So, everyone can modify them to fit their requirements.
HME filters: Medical-grade filters used in anesthesia machines, usually available in hospitals. If you don’t have access to them, you can also find them below and on GitHub, in other third-party projects.
If you don’t have a 3D printer, you can use one of the 3D printing services in your area or connect with a 3D printed volunteer listed below.
We want to encourage everyone that has a request to contact us at info@customsurgical.de in case they need a customized attachment for this purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of filter can be used?
Currently we have been using HME filters from Dräger, whose catalog can be found here. However, the coupling should work without any problem with other manufacturers, since it has been designed to couple with different filter sizes.
What is the duration of the filter?
The manufacturer’s recommendation is to replace the filter every 24 hours. The mask and attachment are reusable after going through a complete cleaning and disinfection process.
If I want to print the adapter, what settings do you recommend?
In order to maintain the impermeability of the piece it is recommended to use ABS or PETG. Print at the maximum temperature allowed by the material and the lowest layer height.
How safe are these masks?
These masks do not have any type of safety certification or have been tested in laboratory conditions, they are an alternative to the current emergency and the problem of supply of masks
