Disposable Surgical Face Masks - box of 50. Hygienic, droplet repelling, anti-pollution facemasks

If you are a frontline worker or work in an area that requires PPE assistance with hygiene, or you intend to send our masks to someone who is one, please let us know. We are happy to discount our face masks for you.

Face masks have been shown to be make a difference - and are used all the time around the world for health reasons and against pollution, and have been worn even more often recently as an additional barrier when socially distancing and mingling.

Wearing these FDA registered, 3-ply masks raises your level of protection, alongside everything else you do to improve hygiene. Even if you don't wear them, distribute them to others so a blanket protection is ultimately achieved.

While they've become known for use during the pandemic, it's also true that studies in Germany have shown that there have been a marked decline in acute respiratory illnesses - which makes total sense when more and more people wear effective masks, and the spread of viruses - seasonal or otherwise - is prevented.

Every one of our masks has three non-woven, BPA-free layers that are designed to act as particle, droplet and dust filters.

Why wear a face mask:

• Disposable Face masks: All 3 layers help to protect against transmission of droplets, dust, pollens, pollution. Disposable for greater hygiene.
• Allergen protection: Filtering, melt-blown PP mask fabrics and an added inner layer for comfort. High grade non-woven materials to trap micro-particles and pollution.
• Stay healthier - effective in environments to assisting in protecting your mouth and nose from droplet transfer
• Form fitting nose piece allowing for a better, more comfortable fit
• Protective barrier against bacteria carrying droplets, splattering liquids, allergens, foreign particles.
• Comfortable ear loops hold the face mask in place for a better fit. Cover your nose and mouth daily.
• Keep droplets away. Covers your mouth, nose, chin providing great protection.

Each mask consists of 3 filtering layers:

• Outer layer of hydrophobic non-woven fabric - keeps all droplets out.

Effectiveness:

Studies comparing mask wearing to non-mask wearing persons in medical situations show that there is additional effectiveness. This isn't to say that mask wearing alone is a panacea - along with this, Asian countries also recommend continued 20 second hand washing with soap and social distancing.

Our masks are made of high quality non-woven, material which is essential to stopping micro-sized particles, and for keeping a barrier between your face and external particulate matter. It contains a bendable nose piece allowing for a better fit against your face. These are used daily in Asia for general health: suitable for adults and teenagers, they are perfect accessories for droplet and particle protection all year round.

Professionals will often use use masks to improve levels of hygiene, or people wear masks in the food industry, and general healthcare to stop them from spreading their germs around. Keep breathing fresher and stay healthier in all situations - you and your family deserve a better lifestyle. This is a must have mask when are out or amongst crowds, suitable for household, clean rooms, shops, when using public transport etc.

Breathe better air - face masks protect your mouth and face from droplet transfer, particles, pollution, dust, ash, allergy, odours, vehicle exhaust, passive smoking etc.

This is made with layers of polypropylene fabric, and is one of the lightest, safest breathable synthetic fabrics around - used every day in wearable textiles, tote bags, and commonly in surgical masks. Much like how you have clothing made of polyester, PP is an excellent, fitting and safe material for masks.

It is our belief that the more people that have, and are wearing masks, the more protected we all become against viruses - we can't socially isolate forever without additional protection, even when we are free to travel around and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Stay safe. Keep washing your hands with soap, stay home where possible, and stay protected when you have to go out.

Please note that our masks are not rated for surgical operating use.

Wearing a medical mask can help limit the spread of some respiratory disease. However, using a mask alone is not guaranteed to stop infections and should be combined with other prevention measures including hand and respiratory hygiene and avoiding close contact – at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people.

WHO advises on rational use of medical masks thus avoiding unnecessary wastage of precious resources and potential mis-use of masks (see Advice on the use of masks). This means using masks only if you have respiratory symptoms (coughing or sneezing), have suspected 2019-nCoV infection with mild symptoms or are caring for someone with suspected 2019-nCoV infection. A suspected 2019-nCoV infection is linked to travel in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or close contact with someone who has travelled from China and has respiratory symptoms.
