How to use it
Mask effectiveness: 8h in normal activity
The mask can be used for protection against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). Respiratory protective device designed to protect the wearer from inhalation of airborne droplets and particles. For this reason, Face Filter Piece (FFP) masks offer better protection for this type of use.
Characteristics of medical equipment
The FFP2 mask is made up of several components with specific functions:
- A "duckbill" mask organized in several layers (called plies). The outer layers are made of non-woven polypropylene (also known as spunbond). The two intermediate layers (filter media) ensure filtration with meltblown fabric.
- A double nose clip that adjusts the mask to the shape of the nose, prevents leaks and reduces fogging of glasses.
- Occipital attachments, which allow the mask to be fastened to the face using a double flat elastic (manual separation).
Much more effective than
cloth masks
Its effectiveness has also been demonstrated in enclosed spaces (inside buildings).
For example, the widespread use (by patients, staff and visitors) of this type of mask in hospitals can significantly significantly reduce the risk of nosocomial influenza.
In this context, it is also far more effective than fabric masks, which can be used in the event of shortages, such as during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.
The main reasons given for the reduced effectiveness of fabric masks are moisture retention, low filtration capacity and contamination when reused without soap washing.
