Earloop blue face mask, Non-Sterile

blue face mask are designed to provide a protective barrier that covers a person’s nose and mouth. They may be used to protect the wearer, those in proximity to the wearer, and the environment that they are worn in, but they should not be used in lieu of OSHA-standard respiratory protection. Face masks may be single use or reusable, constructed of various materials (including but not limited to polypropylene, polyethylene, SMS, or cotton), and are specifically suited for general-purpose use, medical/procedural tasks, or cleanroom environments. Specific usage information can be found at the individual product level.

Single-use face masks feature a one-ply, two-ply, three-ply (most common), or four-ply, pleated configuration and cover the wearer’s nose and mouth. Masks may be secured with earloop, headband, or tie-on fastenings. Most face masks will feature a flexible nose bridge to adjust and improve fit, and some may also include an attached, clear face visor for eye protection.

Reusable face masks are generally sewn from washable fabrics such as three-ply cotton or cotton/polyester, and feature earloop or tie-on fastenings. Some of the fabrics may feature antimicrobial protection, fluid repellency, and moisture-wicking properties.
