View all productsMedical Grade Masks - An Occupational Safety Essential
Medical grade masks are an essential piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health care providers. They provide a barrier between the wearer's nose and mouth and potential contaminants in the environment, helping to prevent the spread of infection. While medical grade masks are not 100% effective at preventing all infections, they are much more effective than non-medical masks, such as cloth masks or a home-made substitute. Also, medical grade masks are designed to be comfortable and breathable, so they can be worn for long periods of time without causing discomfort. For all these reasons, medical grade masks are an essential part of PPE for healthcare professionals.
The Importance of Medical Masks and Respirators
Medical grade masks are designed to protect healthcare workers from exposure to dangerous viruses and bacteria. Unlike a cloth mask, a procedural mask is made from materials that are specifically chosen for their air and fluid resistance and ability to filter out pathogens. In addition, medical grade masks are fitted to the wearer's face to ensure a proper fit, which further reduces the chances of exposure.
When worn properly, a medical mask, which should always be treated as a disposable mask, is effective at capturing respiratory droplets and protecting against the spread of disease. A protective mask should fit snugly over your nose and mouth, and there should be no gaps between your face and the mask. You can test the fit by holding the face mask up to your face and exhaling sharply. If the mask inflates, it's a good fit. If it doesn't, try adjusting the nose wire or ear loops, as it is vitally important to wear a medical mask that fits properly in order to protect yourself and others from the transmission of respiratory infections.
