What Is a Surgical Face Mask?

Medical face masks are used for the protection of the respiratory system. They are designed to catch the liquid droplets exhaled by the mouth and nose, droplets which may be infected if the individual is sick. They protect the person wearing the face mask from inhaling the infected airborne droplets and thus lowers their risk of catching the disease.

When worn by an infectious individual, these masks will collect the bacteria infected droplets and reduce the chance of them being passed onto someone else through the air.

How Do Medical Face Masks Work?

These surgical face masks work by creating a barrier between the face and nose and the immediate environment. To provide full protection, it is vital that there are no gaps between the mask and the face. Individuals wearing face masks should be clean shaven for the best effects.

Surgical face masks should be used in combination with handwashing. Before touching the face mask, one should ensure that one’s hands are clean to avoid moving germs onto the mask. Whilst wearing the surgical face mask you should avoid touching it with your hands. If you do touch it, you should wash your hands to remove any germs that may have started to linger on the mask.

When the mask gets damp, it is time to dispose of it. Take care not to touch the front of the medical face mask when you are removing it. Instead, remove it by pulling from the back of the head, then deposit the face mask into a closed-lid bin where any germs on the mask will be safely contained. To be careful, you should complete this process by washing your hands again, especially if you are about to use a new face mask.
