Surgical masks are usually loose-fitting, disposable masks that form a physical barrier between the wearer’s mouth and nose and the immediate environment. Surgical masks do not achieve a tight seal to the wearer’s face, but they are useful in restricting the spread of large particles/droplets from an infected individual (such as cough or sneeze spray). Single-use surgical masks are designed for medical environments and are ideal for most scenarios of health care.

What are Surgical Masks?
Surgical masks are usually loose-fitting, disposable masks that form a physical barrier
between the wearer’s mouth and nose and the immediate environment. Surgical masks do
not achieve a tight seal to the wearer’s face, but they are useful in restricting the spread of
large particles/droplets from an infected individual (such as cough or sneeze spray). Single-
use surgical masks are designed for medical environments and are ideal for most scenarios of
health care.
Are there any possible advantages of using a surgical mask?
The true advantages of a mask as discussed above are also a point of contention. Today,
however, many people note the benefits of this device. Among other organizations, the
Center for Disease Control emphasizes the use of these masks in their strategies to avoid
influenza.

Preventing diseases
Not only mask a great way to prevent airborne diseases from contracting, but they are also
a kind of courtesy when you’re ill. They help avoid the spread of diseased particles,
bacteria, facial spray and more. For some cases, whether you have the flu or have caught a
common cold, it’s considered disrespectful not to wear a mask.

Fires and Gases
The planet has experienced fire after fire in the last few months alone, leaving the physical
climate, and ultimately our safety, behind a swath of devastation. Surgical masks can be a
good choice for those concerned with the consequences.
These can help flush out the air you breathe, and make it that much cleaner your air intake.
As medical professionals, we highly recommend taking the preparatory route and stocking
up on essential fire safety, first aid kits and more.
