Surgical Mask

The most popular type of surgical masks on the market comprises three layers: two spun-bond polypropylene nonwoven fabric layers (on the inside and outside) and a melt-blown nonwoven polypropylene fabric filter layer.

Surgical Facemask provides the highest standard of reliable barrier protection by way of a bacterial filtration efficiency of 98 per cent. This is also due to the materials used, as these facemasks are made with layers as follows: spunbond polypropylene then melt-blown then spunbond polypropylene

Key Features

• Multi-layer Design:Surgical masks typically have three layers (a three-ply structure) to provide protection.
• Non-woven Outer Layer:The outward-facing layer is often a thicker, water-impermeable material.
• Melt-blown Filter Layer:The middle layer is made of a non-woven material, such as polypropylene, that acts as the primary filter to trap microbes and particles..
• Non-woven Inner Layer: The innermost layer is also a non-woven fabric.Fit and Function
• Loose-fitting: Surgical masks are designed to be loose-fitting, not forming a tight seal around the wearer's face.
• Disposable: They are intended for single use and should be discarded after each procedure or once they become wet or soiled.
• Physical Barrier: The mask creates a physical barrier to protect the wearer's mouth and nose from sprays, splashes, and droplets
• Coverage: It is crucial for the mask to completely cover the nose and mouth to be effective. Filtration and Breathability.
