Disposable Face Mask

DISPOSABLE SURGICAL FACE MASK:
A face mask is a product that covers the wearer’s nose and mouth. Face masks are for use as source control by the general public and health care personnel.
These are loose-fitting masks designed to cover the mouth and nose. Medical grade surgical or procedural masks provide excellent protection due to their filtration and fluid resistance.
Disposable face masks are a vital part of infection control, creating a barrier between the wearer and others that will help to reduce the risk of droplet based transfer of infections. A disposable mask also affords the wearer’s mouth and nose protection from contamination by outside agents.
The simple face mask sits over mouth and nose and often has a metal clip to fit the mask closer to the nosebridge and rubber bands to keep it in position. It has openings in the side that allow expired air to exit. A minimum of 5L/min is required to prevent re-breathing of CO₂.
Masks help protect others from illness when you cough, sneeze, or breathe. If they fit right, they can also protect you from others’ respiratory illnesses.
Masks provide a simple barrier to help prevent these respiratory droplets from spreading in the air. You should wear a mask to protect others in case you have the virus, and you should wear a mask to protect yourself.
