ALPHARETTA, GA, October 1, 2015-

Halyard Health (NYSE: HYH), formerly Kimberly-Clark Health Care, a global medical technology company focused on preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery, today announced the addition of four new HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD ASTM-rated specialty surgical face masks to its product portfolio. Each mask offers either ASTM Level 1 or 2 fluid protection in accordance with ASTM F2100-11, the industry standard for the performance of medical face masks.

Studies show that blood or other bodily fluids strike the face of operating room staff on average between 45-51 percent of the time, putting them at potential risk for infection. Fluid protection is critical, yet more than 70 percent of all face masks used today are not ASTM-rated for fluid-resistance. HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD ASTM-rated face masks offer both fluid protection and unique comfort features, including SO SOFT Lining, designed to meet clinicians' and operating room staff's needs. These new products round out the Company's extensive ASTM-rated fluid-protective mask offering.
