Pharmacy Medicines : FFP2 (N95 Equivalent) Mask Miscellaneous

These masks are our top choice for a Respirator Face Mask. 

These face masks are used around the world to protect against airborne particle filtration in multiple settings.

These masks cover the nose and mouth when fitted properly. They have 2 elastic headbands that keep the mask in place by wrapping around the ears.

How can using a mask protect me?

There is certainly no harm in sporting a face mask. As discussed, even if you are not at risk, you are protecting others.

New research on re-usability

A new study has assessed a method of being able to re-use the Respirator Face Masks for. This method involves killing bacteria and virus on the mask by soaking the mask in hot water for 30 minutes, then drying with a hair drier for 10 minutes after this. Other methods involve the use of UVC radiation (ultra-violet light) for 15 minutes exposure time which is effective at sterilizing the masks. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7153525/

How do you use the Respirator Face Mask?
As simple and easy as these are to use, it is still worth being sure that you are fitting your mask correctly for maximal protection. This can be done using a respirator fit test. This is achieved by tightly pressing the mask flush against the face (without gaps) to ensure an efficient seal on the mask perimeter. Leakage could hugely impact the protection that even the best made mask offers. Bad news for some, a beard can interfere with fit!

Please follow the instructions below to fit your mask correctly:

1. To fit, simply hold the mask and place it over your nose and mouth
2. Bring both elasticated headbands over your head and adjust the position until it is comfortable.
3. The bottom headband should sit at the nape of your neck
4. The top headband should sit just above the crest of your head (widest part)
