How to discriminate medical surgical masks

Medical surgical masks and medical masks look similar, but they are different in terms of standards and functional range. Be sure to carefully distinguish them when choosing one.

The difference between medical surgical masks and medical masks:

1. Standards

Medical surgical masks: There are national industry standards.

Medical masks: There are production technical requirements.

2. Application function range:

Medical surgical masks: For medical staff to wear during traumatic operations, covering the user's mouth, nose and mandible to prevent the direct penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, body fluids and particulate matter, and provide a physical barrier.

Medical masks: For all kinds of clinical personnel to wear during non-traumatic operations, covering the user's mouth, nose and mandible to prevent the direct penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, body fluids and particulate matter, and provide a certain physical barrier.

Compared with medical masks, medical surgical masks have stronger physical barrier functions. Therefore, during use, we should choose the appropriate type according to specific needs.
