WILLIAMSBURG, Va., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pure Silk Championship, presented by Visit Williamsburg, announced that blox™ is the official mask provider for this year's LPGA tournament event at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. blox is a collection of high-fidelity face masks developed by ivWatch, a Virginia based medical device company. blox⁹⁸ respirator style face masks will be provided to athletes, tournament staff, volunteers, media, and more to keep tournament-play safe in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament is the largest professional golf event in Virginia and will operate with limited patrons for the 2021 cycle, after being cancelled in 2020. In addition to providing high performance masks, members of the ivWatch clinical staff will be on-hand to offer educational clinics on the importance of proper mask wearing.

"The safety of players, tournament staff, volunteers, and our limited patrons remains a top priority. We're thrilled to partner with ivWatch, a local well-respected company that has put in the work to provide better, quality blox masks to help improve education around proper mask wearing for our community and our tournament," said Landon Stulen, Manager of Marketing and Public Relations for Kingsmill Resort.

"ivWatch is excited to play a critical role in getting Virginia back to sports with high performance blox face masks," said Erin Wendell, Chief Marketing Officer for ivWatch. "Our premium masks are designed to be tough enough for the front line, giving everyone confidence to safely get back to sports and everyday life. Whether participating in the tournament or watching it, we believe everyone deserves the highest quality, comfort, and protection in their mask."

ivWatch, a trusted biosensor medical device manufacturer, expanded its innovation center footprint to manufacture quality blox masks in Virginia for everyone. blox⁹⁸ face masks are high-fidelity masks designed to create a proper seal on the upper and lower part of the mask to keep out ≥98% of 0.1 micron aerosolized particles while still being comfortable, affordable and disposable. blox masks are backed by the vQuality System showing the exact performance of each mask. Consumers now have access to the same filtration test results used to certify N95s. Each mask comes with a QR code that consumers can quickly scan, delivering test results directly to the palm of their hand. This interactive tool was designed to fight against poor quality and counterfeit masks that flooded the marketplace during the COVID-19 pandemic.
