Metal Nose Wire & Transformable Nose Wire

A Hidden Risk Behind the Mask?

While face masks are worn to protect us, incidents of injury caused by exposed or broken nose wires—especially in KF94 masks—have raised public concern. One such case involved a college student who was pierced by the metal wire of a face mask. These accidents highlight the importance of choosing the right nose wire material.

Metal Nose Wire vs. Plastic Nose Wire: A Comparison

The nose wire helps fit the mask closely to the face, enhancing protection against airborne particles. But not all nose wires are made the same. Here is a comparison of the two common materials:

Feature Metal Nose Wire Transformable Nose Wire
Advantages Strong shaping ability Lightweight, flexible, and safe
Comfortable to wear
Environmentally friendly and recyclable
Disadvantages Risk of injury from sharp or exposed ends
May rust or break over time
Heavier and harder to recycle		 Slightly lower shaping ability compared to metal
 

KF94 masks often adopt double metal nose wires for a more secure fit, but this increases the risk of wire exposure. In contrast, transformable nose wires are safer, more comfortable, and increasingly favored by manufacturers due to their non-toxic, recyclable, and certified nature.
