Precautions for medical comsumables such as medical masks

Medical protective masks have a good fit with the wearer's face, can filter airborne particles, block contaminants such as droplets, blood, body fluids, secretions, etc. The filtration efficiency of non-oily particles can reach more than 95%, which is a common protective item to deal with airborne diseases. Next is the introduction of medical mask precautions.

Design considerations

The filtration performance of medical masks is mainly determined by the middle layer of filter media. The commonly used filter media is a kind of meltblown nonwoven fabric made of polypropylene microfiber, which is light, thin and breathable, and can efficiently filter airborne particles at the same time. Filter media is not the thicker the better, different manufacturers produce meltblown nonwoven performance varies greatly, the specific performance needs to be determined by professional equipment. Medical masks may only have good filtration efficiency if they contain this kind of filter media, and if they are just ordinary needle-punched nonwoven and hydroentangled nonwoven, without meltblown nonwoven, they cannot achieve a good filtration effect.

Medical masks need to have good filter material, but also should have good shape design, nose clip design. The better the medical mask fits the wearer's face, the better the protection effect will be, so that pollutants can be prevented from entering the mouth and nose from the edge of the mask, especially from the gaps on both sides of the nose. Therefore, when wearing a medical mask, the nose clip at the bridge of the nose should be pressed tightly, and the length of the mask band should be adjusted appropriately so that the mask fits the face as closely as possible.

Wearing precautions

When wearing medical masks should choose the right level type according to the type of pollutant transmission, risk, not too high and not too low. Although medical protective masks with high protection levels have a better protection effect, the respiratory resistance is also higher due to the high level of filter material and good fit, so wearing them for a long time will increase the respiratory burden and cause breathing difficulties and another discomfort. Medical-surgical masks and medical protective masks can block the pollution caused by blood and body fluid splashing, but if you really need to block the pollution of airborne particles and pathogenic microorganisms, please choose to wear medical protective masks. Wash your hands before wearing a medical mask and before and after taking off the mask. The mask should completely cover your mouth, nose, and chin, and should be replaced immediately if it is broken or stained. Medical masks should not be worn for more than 6 hours in general and should be changed and washed once a day.

Selection precautions

The selection of medical masks should first consider whether to meet health standards. Mask to gauze is good, other fabrics breathability is not good, too thin does not work, too thick and affect breathing. Gauze masks have a difference in the number of layers, too few layers of masks cannot play a protective role, the best choice of 9 to 12 layers. When buying medical masks, be sure to pay attention to whether the product registration number on the bag, some formal manufacturers will also indicate the product implementation standards, production license number, and other information on the bag. Ordinary medical masks, despite the plain style, are inexpensive and in line with health standards, and also have a certain warmth function, so they can be used with confidence.
