With the outbreak of the epidemic, masks became popular overnight. Will you distinguish between disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks, and medical protective masks?

1. Different implementation standards

The current technical standards for these three types of masks are

"Disposable Medical Masks" (YY/T0969-2013)

"Medical Surgical Mask" (YY0469-2011)

"Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks" (GB19038-2010)

You can judge which type of mask the product belongs to by looking at the execution standards marked on the outer packaging of the product.

2. Different shapes

Disposable medical masks and surgical masks are rectangular in shape, and most medical protective masks are duckbill-shaped. The reason why they are designed in duckbill shape is that medical protective masks require higher tightness. , Duckbill shape can better fit the face.

3. Different performance

These three types of masks have the same requirements for bacterial filtration effects, and the main difference lies in two aspects: water resistance and particle filtration efficiency. Waterproof performance measures the penetration resistance of a mask when it encounters splashes of blood and body fluids.

Medical surgical masks and medical protective masks both have requirements for water resistance and particle filtration efficiency, while disposable medical masks do not;

Secondly, the waterproof performance of medical surgical masks is higher than that of medical protective masks;

Third, the particle filtration efficiency of medical protective masks is higher than that of medical surgical masks.

4. Different applicable occasions

Medical protective masks have good particle filtration efficiency and are suitable for occupational protection of medical staff when they come into contact with patients with airborne and droplet-borne diseases;

Medical surgical masks have good waterproof performance and particle filtration efficiency. They are suitable for operation, laser treatment, isolation, and dental or other medical operations, as well as air or droplet-borne diseases or wear; they are mainly used by medical personnel.

Since disposable medical masks have no requirements for waterproof performance and particle filtration efficiency, they are only suitable for blocking pollutants exhaled by the operator's mouth and nasal cavity during general diagnosis and treatment operations. It basically meets the needs of our ordinary people.
