Disposable Face Mask

Type 1 surgical masks, or respiratory masks, are made of fabrics which are designed to filter the air of impurities. These disposable masks offer the lowest amount of protection, however the protection they do offer is sufficient and most suitable for protection from COVID-19.

Type 2 disposable coverings are suitable for higher risk environments protecting you from respiratory viruses and impurities whilst also protecting you from a low level of water particles that could contain infectious diseases. Type 2 masks are the European equivalent of the N95 respirator masks which are used in the US and meet the guidance from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
