Due to the impact of COVID-19, masks have become a necessity for the whole people. There are many models and so many standards when purchasing. What is the difference between ordinary disposable non woven masks, medical protective masks, medical surgical masks, and ordinary medical masks, and which one to buy?

1. Medical protective masks:

In line with GB19083-2003 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks", important technical indicators include non-oily particle filtration efficiency and airflow resistance

2. Medical surgical masks:

In line with the YY 0469-2004 "Technical Requirements for Medical Surgical Masks" standard, important technical indicators include filtration efficiency, bacterial filtration efficiency and respiratory resistance

3. Ordinary medical masks:

In line with the relevant registered product standards, the filtration efficiency requirements for particles and bacteria are generally lacking, or the filtration efficiency requirements for particles and bacteria are lower than medical surgical masks and medical protective face masks.

Medical protective masks are suitable for the protection of medical personnel and related staff against airborne respiratory infectious diseases, with a high level of protection;

Medical surgical non woven masks are suitable for basic protection of medical personnel or related personnel, as well as protection against the spread of blood, body fluids and splashes during invasive operations;

The protective effect of ordinary medical masks on pathogenic microorganisms is not exact, and can be used for disposable hygiene care in ordinary environments, or for blocking or protecting particles other than pathogenic microorganisms such as pollen.
