Micron Technologies, the company's wholly owned subsidiary has been manufacturing and selling medically certified three ply face masks in the colour blue and also in black since August 2020.

N95 MASKS
There is an ongoing shortage of N95 medical grade masks for frontline first responders across North America.
Ranvir Gujral stated on NPR radio "But fewer companies shifted to making N95 masks, which are far more complicated, and they're in short supply. Nurses and doctors are re-using masks over and over again. Some small medical practices can't even find supplies they can afford"

Micron Technologies has initiated manufacturing of made in Canada N95 Model 8800 masks at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Delta, BC.. The Company is currently manufacturing and distributing under its Class 1 Medical Devices pursuant to the Company's Medical Device Establishment License from Health Canada and Medical Device Registration with the US Food and Drug Administration.
The Company's N95 Model 8800 respirators are currently CSA and FDA approved and undergoing testing and awaiting medical-grade certification from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). N95 masks are the gold standard of personal protective equipment, particularly among healthcare professionals. They provide the highest level of protection for the user and those in close proximity to infected patients. N95 masks are both high in demand and low in supply worldwide. It is the intent of the Company to have its N95 respirators CSA, FDA and NIOSH certified and sold to medical professionals and citizens to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
