Several criteria should be considered when choosing a mask, such as the application, the type of mask, and the level of protection required.

Application: According to occupation, application field and whether there are infectious diseases, patients and caregivers can use masks with a certain degree of protection.

Types of masks: The two main types of masks are “surgical masks” and “respiratory masks”. They have different functions, standards and purposes. The key point to remember is that surgical masks can only prevent the source of infection transmitted by “liquid droplets”, while respiratory masks can also prevent the inhalation of sources of infection through the “airborne” route.

Required protection level: Each type of mask has different standards and regulations in different countries and regions. In these standards, different types of equipment have different degrees of protection. Please refer to the regulations in your area.

Disposable or recyclable: Surgical masks can only be used once. The breathing mask can be reused. For breathing masks, the filter can be replaced after the filter is full.

Service life: The effective service life of the mask varies according to the usage. It may last up to three to eight hours. Cheap masks may mean that they will not last too long. The manufacturer will systematically indicate this value.

Comfort: Masks come in different sizes, which can adapt to the facial shape of the person wearing the mask. The mask can also be equipped with a valve to improve the comfort of the user. If you need to protect your eyes, some masks can also cover your eyes. These are called full face masks or face masks.
