These face masks are filtering masks. The FFP2 grade (KN95 equivalent) is recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and used by the NHS, to limit the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in combination with good hand hygiene.
These 3-ply surgical respirators are used to prevent infected droplets from entering the respiratory system of either the healthcare professional or the patient. They have 3 protective layers hence the name 3-Ply
We are an approved supplier to the NHS and already provide our Face Masks in large quantities to many healthcare organisations around the UK. Front line workers and NHS staff will always take priority during this time.
These KN95 masks filter particles out of the air. When this standard is achieved, it means that it can filter up to 94% of dust particles out of the air. We currently have these exact respirators for sell here
These masks are not marketed as re-usable masks. They are designed to give you up to 8 hours of solid protection and should be replaced day to day to ensure that you achieve optimumĀ safety levels
All these masks offer the same level of protection. Every country has a unique grading system for face masks. FFP2 is the UK/EU version, N95 is used in the United States and KN95 is the terminology in the far east.
When an individual sneezes, coughs or even just talks, they release microscopic drops that can easily infect other people. If this infected person wears a facemask (like a 3ply surgical mask), it will reduce the chances of spreading the infection.
A surgical face mask is also known as a medical mask or just a standard face mask. Generally they are worn by health professionals undertaking medical or surgical procedures. They work by creating a barrier between the respiratory system of the wearer from the environment.
3Ply Surgical masks are disposable and fit loosely around your mouth and nose. Normally they tie around the back of the head or they have loops that go over your ears to keep the mask safely on your face. They are multi-layered hence the name 3Ply.
This really does depend on your own individual circumstances. If you are high risk then the KN95 Mask (FFP2) offers better protection but if you rarely leave the house, the surgical 3Ply mask will happily keep you safe from harmful infection.
