3M™ Surgical Masks When comfort and protection are paramount
Surgical masks are categorised depending on performance level. The 3M range of surgical masks meet the requirements of EN14683:2005 as Type II or Type IIR.
The European Standard for surgical masks, EN14683:2005 defines strict performance requirements for surgical masks in order to ensure a consistent level of quality based on the following properties:
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) (%)
Differential Pressure (for measuring breathability)
Splash resistance to blood and body fluids (R)
A comprehensive range of masks including earloop, tie on, face shield and splash resistant are available
The efficient protection properties and good facial fit of 3M masks give patients optimal protection, and the wearer maximum comfort
