Inventions and Commercialisation 

Following a year of study and work in operating theatres, a surgical mask was developed and impregnated with Mega Bac to prevent the spread of bacteria and viral infection in surgical wards (7 day life mask). This mask was approved for surgical use by the French Government in 2006. This mask is now being produced for the Australian market and preparations are being made for entry into Europe, Japan, Asia and the United States.
