Facemasks
At Murray Masks, we have unprecedented speed and precision, understanding the complexities
and short timeframes for today’s athletes. Often, we can see an athlete in our office for a single
day turn around, from consultation to a fully customized, game ready mask in just a few hours.
As we frequently work remotely with out-of-state or country athletes, in many cases, we are able
to help without travel to Michigan, though there is no substitute for the level of care that can be
achieved when your athlete and Murray Masks work together in person. Just reach out through
the ‘Contact Us’ link in order to discuss the best option for you and your needs!
How to get a Murray mask
STEP 1: A PRESCRIPTION FROM YOUR DOCTOR
When the prescription is written it needs to have the name of the patient, the date that it was written, the specific diagnosis, and what is being prescribed. It is typical for the physician to write "Custom Face Mask" or "Custom Protective Mask" on the prescription.
STEP 2: PHOTOS
In order to establish proper trim lines for a face mask, Jeremy will need to work from some simple headshots of the patient.
He needs three (3) photos:
- Frontal, full face image
- Right facial profile
- Left facial profile

Step 3. A PRECISE impression or MODEL OF THE ATHLETES FACE
In order to create a custom mask, we need to be able to create an exact model of the athletes face. This is what we will use to create a truly custom mask. There are several ways to complete this step including a scan or traditional impression.
For exact details on the best method for your athlete, use the contact us form and we will respond promptly with additional information. We have had great success working with athletic trainers, parents, physicians, coaches and even directly with the athletes to complete this step. We are confident that we can help you too!
STEP 4: PAYMENT
Please contact us to arrange payment for the facemask. We are happy to accept a credit card over the phone (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover), personal check (which can be mailed with the impression), or arrange a payment plan to fit your needs.
The total cost of your mask will vary depending on the specific mask required (yes, we make more than one style of mask!), shipping preference, and any other special considerations (such as same day or next day turn around). Please contact us to determine billing/payment prior to mailing in your impression.
STEP 5: SENDING IT ALL IN
When the impression is complete, please pack for shipping as though you were sending a fragile artifact. Bubble wrap is great, just be careful not to wrap too tightly and distort the impression. It is impossible to understate the importance of shipping your impression carefully.
We have no way of knowing the correct dimensions of your impression if it arrives damaged or misshapen. The fit and function of the mask is certain to be affected if the impression does not arrive at our office in the same condition that it came off the patients face.
Please contact Jeremy for the shipping address and anticipated turn around time.
