Break barriers in the justice system.
Every member of the court, including judges, jurors, defendants, attorneys, and witnesses, relies on clear communication to ensure arguments are heard and testimonies are fully understood. Standard masks can have an impact on a trial’s outcome, putting hearings and depositions at risk of miscommunication and mistrials.
The ClearMask™ Transparent Surgical Masks provide clear communication and safety to everyone, while ensuring increased efficiency and accuracy in the courtroom. Recommended & used by the U.S. District Court: Central District of California, Supreme Court of Florida, Supreme Court of New Jersey, and many more.

““We judge facial expressions and micro-expressions in milliseconds and a big part these non-verbal cues are what we use to determine credibility, trustworthiness. Having that sort of visibility is crucial and I think you’re going to start seeing this sort of solution implemented across the state and country.””

““Mask Up for Justice! is raising funds to provide supplies to Georgia’s courthouses for the resumption of jury trials and safe operation of courthouses during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 12, 2021, a total of 9,395 ClearMask™ transparent masks have been distributed to Georgia courts. Transparent masks not only help jurors, in particular, feel safe reporting for duty, but also help all trial participants — judges, lawyers, witnesses and jurors — communicate, hear testimony and see facial expressions more clearly. These masks play an important role in helping in-person trials run as normally as possible during this challenging time.” ”

Enhances communication between colleagues
”Expressions are something that we rely upon when we communicate, and the eyes and mouth are the most informative regions of the face.

Restores comfort and assurance with clients
“Imagine trying to navigate your way through the pandemic without being able to communicate with people properly! As a hairdresser, we can remove our masks at a safe distance, but it isn’t safe to not wear a mask whilst performing a close contact service. These masks from ClearMask are medical grade so we can use them to make people like Amy’s life a little easier! Bonus - I can wear lipstick again while wearing a mask!” - Sara Daglish, hair stylist
Provides positive interactions with children
“So glad to finally find a ClearMask™ Transparent Surgical Mask that actually works! Getting children, toddlers, and siblings to smile without seeing my face and expressions has been a really surprising challenge to this whole “business during COVID-19” thing. And an added bonus - our hard of hearing child LOVES being able to still see our faces and what we are saying!” - Christie Gare Photography
Is the ClearMask™ a face shield?
No, the ClearMask™ brand produces transparent surgical masks and transparent face masks, which offer distinctly different protection than transparent face shields. The CDC does not recommend using face shields or goggles as a substitute for masks. For more information about the differences between surgical masks, face masks, and face shields, please view the CDC guidelines. The ClearMask™ brand does not make transparent face shields, only transparent surgical masks and transparent face masks that cover the wearer’s mouth and nose when worn properly.
