The difference between surgical masks and ordinary masks

At present, medical masks are mainly divided into three types: "medical protective masks" with the highest protection level, "medical surgical masks" commonly used in invasive operating environments such as operating rooms, and "disposable medical masks" of ordinary levels. However, the appearance of surgical masks on the market is very similar to that of ordinary masks. I do n’t know how to distinguish the difference?
 

The difference between medical surgical masks and ordinary masks
 

1. Different packaging: Surgical masks and general medical masks will indicate different categories in addition to the outer packaging. The main identification method is that the registered product in the upper right corner of the outer packaging implements different standards. Surgical masks are YY-0469-2011, while general medical Masks are printed with various factory labels of YZB /.
 

2. Uses and appearances are different: Masks of different materials have different functions and uses. Perhaps the outer packaging will be blurred, but the product description will generally indicate the environment and conditions for the mask.
 

Medical surgical masks are commonly used in operating rooms and other environments where there is a risk of body fluids and blood splashes. They can block blood and body fluids from passing through the mask to contaminate the wearer. At the same time, the filtration efficiency of bacteria is more than 95%, but the filtration efficiency of particles is limited. Most of them are rectangular in design, and the tightness with the face is not as tight as medical protective masks. Common medical surgical masks are strap-on, ear-hook, etc.
 

Ordinary-grade medical masks have many names. Medical masks without the words "protection" or "surgical" are ordinary-grade medical masks. This level of masks does not require blood blocking or adhesion requirements. Therefore, it is only used for general medical environment. Common common medical masks are mostly ear-hook, and the appearance is similar to ear-hook surgical masks.
 

3. Different prices: Medical surgical masks generally have higher prices, and ordinary medical masks are relatively cheap
