Abstract

Some embodiments include a respirator. The respirator includes a mask structure comprising one or more layers, multiple folds, and a contact surface region, and the one or more layers include a filtration layer. Meanwhile, the respirator includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the mask structure. The attachment mechanism is operable to couple the mask structure to a face region of a user. The user has a maxilla bone having a first frontal process and a second frontal process, and when the mask structure is coupled to the face region of the user by the attachment mechanism, the multiple folds conform the contact surface region to the face region of the user over the first frontal process of the maxilla bone and over the second frontal process of the maxilla bone. Other embodiments of related respirators and methods are also disclosed.
