Surgical Masks

Surgical masks, also known as medical face masks or procedure masks, are a type of personal protective equipment used by healthcare professionals to reduce airborne transmission of pathogens and other aerosolized contaminants. They serve as a mechanical barrier that interferes with direct airflow in and out of respiratory orifices, helping to prevent the spread of diseases. Surgical masks are used in a variety of medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and dental offices, and are an essential tool in the prevention of infectious diseases.
