This is a 3-ply surgical mask made using non-woven fabric. A 3-ply surgical mask is a comfortable and loose-fitting mask which is meant to create a barrier between the mouth of the wearer and outside harmful bacteria. When worn the right way, a surgical mask is meant to protect the wearer from inhaling or transmitting large droplets of fluid, splatter, splashes and other contaminating airborne particles which can carry bacteria. A surgical mask is generally fluid resistant which makes it a good choice to avoid the spread of airborne diseases. However, a surgical mask does not filter transmission of small airborne particles. A 3-ply mask is also sometimes used by people suffering from respiratory diseases.

Material: This 3-ply surgical mask is made using two types of material. One of the materials used is a 25gsm non-woven polypropylene layer and the other material is a 25gsm melt blown fabric.

Number of Layers: This surgical mask has 3 layers in it. The outermost and innermost layer is made using non-woven polypropylene material. This non-woven polypropylene material is very comfortable to wear and does not irritate the skin. The centermost layer in this surgical mask is made using melt blown fiber. Melt blown fiber is the backbone of a medical mask. It is this layer that acts as a filter against all the incoming bacteria and protects the wearer.

Mounting: Ear loops.

Color: Blue colored

Sizing: This is a standard surgical mask which is 95mm wide and 175mm long.
