Stay protected with Freevent XtraCare during flu season

During the colder months, we often spend more time inside – both at home and away and are more exposed to viruses and germs. During the flu season and Covid pandemic, we also want to avoid infection. Freevent XtraCare was designed to give you that extra protection in busy places with large crowds such as shopping malls, restaurants, and public transport, but also when seeing family and friends*.

Filtration of bacteria > 99 %*1

Filtration of viruses > 99 %*2

Freevent XtraCare is versatile in its use and can be used daily when you would like to benefit from that extra protection. It can be used daily for extra protection, especially during a pandemic like Covid-19,* flu season, in crowded places such as supermarkets and public transportation or when visiting the hospital.

*Since pathogens can enter and leave the human body in other ways (such as the mouth, nose, and eyes), Freevent XtraCare can never guarantee complete protection.
