What types of respiratory masks can you find in Mifarma?

There are three types of masks in relation to the filtering capacity of expired and inspired air and the faculties they present both to protect the person who wears it and the rest of the population: hygienic, surgical and filtering.

Hygienic or barrier mask

The hygienic masks also called barrier masks are those intended for asymptomatic people and who are not likely to use the filtering or surgical type. In relation to the other two types, they are the most common and the least protected.

Surgical mask

They offer a greater protection barrier compared to the previous ones. As its name indicates, they are the ones used by health professionals in order to protect the patient from any infectious process coming from the mouth or nasal cavities. Surgical masks are being used in the fight against Covid-19 as they prevent the emission of droplets when coughing or sneezing. There are three types according to their effectiveness, one of the most sought after in the catalog is type IIR.

Filter mask or Epis

Or also known as self-filters, they are the ones with the greatest protection since they have a filter with microparticles that prevent the inhalation of contaminants present in the environment. The most sought after are the FFP2 masks that have the CE marking certification and are approved.

According to their degree of protection they are classified into three groups:

FFP1 (particle filter type P1): Aimed at stopping inert particles and are not recommended for medical use. They have a minimum filtration efficiency of 78% and a maximum of 22% leakage into the interior.
FFP2 (particle filter type P2): Manufactured for use against aerosols with moderate toxicity. They have a minimum filtration efficiency of 92% and a maximum of 8% leakage into the interior. The KN95 is its equivalent, taking into account the Chinese standard.
