Many studies have shown that only FFP2 masks offer the right level of protection against coronavirus <\/strong>to a healthy person. However, opinions on this matter remain divided and bring about a debate. In any case, wearing a surgical mask seems to be more prudent than not wearing one at all.<\/p>\n This is because, potentially infected saliva splashes can be stopped<\/strong> by the mask before they reach the mucous membranes of the nose or mouth, entailing a risk of contamination.<\/p>\n Therefore, it would be simplistic and false to claim that a surgical mask is “useless<\/strong>” to protect against the coronavirus!<\/p>\n If there is one premise on which everyone seems to agree with, it is the recommendation of disposable surgical masks for patients already infected with the coronavirus<\/strong>. In this specific case, it is not a question of avoiding contamination, but rather of avoiding contamination <\/strong>of healthy people. And for this reason, the surgical mask seems to fulfill its mission perfectly.<\/p>\n Now, the question is why a surgical mask is perfect to stop saliva splashes from a person wearing it, by emitting a sort of saliva spray (infected patient), when it is not always considered effective<\/strong> for the person wearing it and receiving that spray (healthy person)?<\/p>\n The answer is simple: the surgical mask is designed to filter exhaled air, making it less effective at filtering inhaled air<\/strong>. Remember that the initial purpose of a disposable surgical mask: is to allow an operated patient to remain in a sterile environment by filtering the surgeon’s exhaled air, without any interest in filtering the inhaled air.<\/p>\n BFE = Bacterial Filtration Efficiency<\/strong>, these only help during exhalation (as explained above).<\/p>\n The type 2 (or type II) surgical mask<\/strong> is not included in the context of coronavirus, as it only filters saliva splashes and not the air itself, unlike other viruses where this modality could be useful.<\/p>\n FFP2 or FFP3 certified masks, on the other hand, are designed to filter in both directions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So, BFE = Bacterial Filtration Efficiency during inhalation and exhalation.<\/p>\n Levels FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 are governed by European standards EN 149-2001<\/em> and A1:2009,<\/em> levels N95 and N99 by American standards 42 CFR 84 and<\/em> levels KN95 and KN99 by Chinese standards GB 2626-2006<\/em>. This explains why, depending on the country where the mask was manufactured, these different levels of filtration can be found.<\/p>\n The well-known e-stores in our country are overloaded at the moment<\/strong>, and forced to new regulations that affect their productivity within the warehouses of our territory. In addition, most of them refuse to allow sellers to offer disposable surgical masks for sale due to certain price abuses.<\/p>\n That’s why we redirect you to Banggood, a less known e-commerce platform, but with a good reputation in other countries<\/strong>. It is a reliable site that manages to ensure reasonable delivery times considering the difficulties that exist right now. We have already made several orders to test the service, which have been shipped and delivered within the indicated delivery times.<\/p>\n In our opinion, the surgical mask lots below seem to have the best current prices and delivery times<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Disposable surgical mask and infected patients<\/span><\/h2>\n
