Medical Masks for Every Application

Whether you are protecting yourself on public transport or working in a medical environment, you will find a medical mask for every situation requiring protection.

Everyday Use and Public Spaces

Disposable protective masks made from three layers of hypoallergenic polypropylene non-woven fabric are widely used in shops, public transport and offices. Three-layer masks provide an effective barrier against droplet particles and respiratory secretions, while the soft ear loops do not rub behind the ears during extended wear. Their hypoallergenic properties make them safe for people with sensitive facial skin. Medical masks are available in packs of 50 pcs, which is the standard quantity for family use.

Medical Facilities and Clinics

Surgical masks complying with the EN 14683 standard protect medical staff and patients from droplet transmission of infections. Used in dental practices, clinics and hospitals, they provide a high level of hygiene during procedures and operations. A correctly fitted surgical mask creates an effective barrier against aerosols and respiratory secretions. Tie-on masks are preferred by surgical staff due to their better fit to the shape of the face and stability during long procedures.

High-Risk Infection Situations

FFP2 and FFP3 protective masks are designed to filter out finer particles, including viruses, and are classified according to the EN 149 standard. They provide protection against aerosols and fine virus particles when in contact with infected individuals. Models with a valve make breathing easier during long working sessions, although it should be noted that the valve does not protect others from the emission of microorganisms. Certified medical devices according to European standards guarantee the highest level of safety in high-risk infection environments.

Choosing the Right Type of Medical Mask

Mask filtration levels are governed by the European Standard EN 14683, which divides surgical masks into three types with different applications and levels of effectiveness.

Surgical Masks Type I

Type I surgical masks offer basic protection with a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of ≥ 95%. They are ideal for everyday use in public spaces where the risk of contact with bodily fluids is low. The loose fit creates a barrier against splashes while providing comfortable wear. Available in packs of 10 and 50 pcs, they are an economical choice for those seeking basic everyday protection.

Surgical Masks Type II and IIR

Surgical masks are divided into types according to the EN 14683 standard, where Type II offers high bacterial filtration at BFE ≥ 98% for professionals. Type IIR additionally features resistance to the penetration of bodily fluids, making it the recommended choice for medical staff during operations and procedures. Special contouring and a nose-bridge insert ensure a better fit around the upper part of the face, minimising air leakage.

FFP2 Filter Masks

FFP2 masks provide 94% filtration of solid particles and aerosols in accordance with EN 149. A close facial fit minimises leakage, offering effective protection against viruses, bacteria and industrial dusts. Wearing such a mask can reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 by more than 50%. Products are available in single-use versions marked NR and reusable versions marked R, allowing you to choose based on individual needs.

FFP3 Filter Masks

FFP3 masks represent the highest protection class with 99% filtration of the finest particles. They provide maximum safety in high-risk environments where air filtration must be exceptionally effective. Models with exhalation valves increase breathing comfort during prolonged work. Professional protection for medical and emergency services where contact with infectious individuals is unavoidable.

Materials and Technologies That Ensure Protection

Protective masks are a fundamental means of health protection, particularly in environments that require a high level of sterility, as they effectively limit the spread of microorganisms and contaminants.

3-Layer Non-Woven Fabrics

Medical masks consist of three layers of hypoallergenic polypropylene non-woven fabric and an additional filtering layer, providing effective protection against microorganisms. The outer layers, made from spunbond non-woven material, ensure structural strength and breathability. The middle meltblown filtering layer traps bacteria and viruses thanks to very fine fibres with a diameter of 1–5 µm. The durable materials are resistant to moisture and damage during wear.

BFE Filtration and Protection Effectiveness

Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) is an indicator expressing the percentage of bacteria retained by the mask. Laboratory tests confirm filtration effectiveness of 95–99% depending on mask type. The correct fit is crucial for maintaining filtration – even the best filters offer no protection if there are leaks around the face. Masks protect others from infection by individuals who are carrying an infection without visible symptoms.

Hypoallergenic and Safe Materials

Surgical masks should be hypoallergenic, made from materials that do not cause allergic reactions. The absence of latex and allergenic substances ensures comfort for people with sensitive skin. Soft ear loops do not rub behind the ears even during hours of wear. Odour-free materials cause no discomfort and allow free breathing throughout the day.

How to Use a Medical Mask Correctly

Disposable protective masks should be worn not only by people with colds, but also by healthy individuals, to protect against the entry of aerosols, dusts and other substances into the body.

Putting On and Removing the Mask

Before putting on a mask, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water or sanitise them. Correct positioning involves covering the nose, mouth and chin while moulding the nose wire for a snug fit. Masks prevent touching the face, which is a significant route of infection. When removing the mask, hold only the ear loops or ties, avoiding contact with the outer surface, then safely dispose of the mask in a waste bin.

When to Change Your Medical Mask

Surgical masks should be changed regularly every few minutes to a few hours to ensure effective anti-infective performance. Masks should be changed when damp or at the end of a work session; masks marked NR are single-use only. Signs of wear requiring immediate replacement include loss of shape, loose ear loops and tears in the material. Elderly people and those with reduced immunity should wear masks in crowded public spaces and change them particularly regularly.
