3M Aura™ Particulate Respirator 9205+, N95 – High Performance Flat-Fold Respirator
The 3M Aura™ 9205+ is an ultra-lightweight, flat-fold N95 respirator delivering ≥ 95 % filtration of non-oil particulates at 85 L/min. Patented three-panel design collapses to 5 mm for compact storage then springs open to seal diverse facial contours. Sculpted nose and embossed top panels boost eyewear clearance and channel exhaled air away from lenses to reduce fogging. Available in cases of 440 units or boxes of 20 units to suit both bulk procurement and smaller stock needs.
