Type IIR
Type IIR
Surgical masks are classified in Europe according to the EN 14683 standard into the categories Type I, Type II and Type IIR, depending on filtration performance and splash protection. The type IIR is the most powerful and includes a splash guard for the user. Reliable additional information on the classification of surgical masks and the protective effect of the various categories can be found, for example, on the Wikipedia page surgical masks.
Type IIR face masks are typically used for infection control in hospitals, clinics, medical offices, dental offices and other healthcare facilities. Their primary medical purpose is to prevent medical personnel from contaminating their patients by directly inhaling or coughing on them at close range. Similarly, the masks prevent possible contamination of medical personnel by droplets of patient bodily fluids (e.g., saliva droplets, sneezes, blood droplets, etc.) that could easily be inhaled or splashed on the physician’s face. This means that Type IIR face masks provide 2-way protection – helping to protect both the wearer and those around them.
Characteristics of Type IIR masks
The face mask type IIR has 3 filter layers consisting of a filter layer between hygienic non-woven layers, which are bonded together to prevent the mask from disintegrating, splitting or tearing during use. The mask also features an adjustable, integrated, flexible nose bridge strip clip that makes it easy to fit the mask to facial contours and soft, elastic ear loops for a comfortable, secure and snug fit. The mask is comfortable to wear and does not interfere with breathing. Type IIR face masks EN14683 are medical face masks consisting of a 3 or 4 layer construction that prevents large particles from reaching the patient or work surfaces. Type IIR face masks contain a splash-proof layer to protect against blood and other body fluids.
Type II/Type IIR face masks are both essential personal protective equipment. Special measures have been introduced across the country requiring the wearing of face masks on public transport and when shopping. These face masks play a crucial role in the fight against infectious agents by preventing the spread of respiratory droplets produced by sneezing and coughing. This essential PPE should be used across the board and worn in close contact. The 3-ply type IIR face mask reduces the risk of transmission of infectious agents from the wearer to others in the immediate vicinity by preventing the spread of respiratory droplets generated by the wearer’s coughing or sneezing. The mask wearer is also protected by the liquid-resistant outer layer, which makes the mask splash-proof and thus acts as a barrier to bloodborne pathogens.
The disposable non-sterile face mask medica is worn by medical personnel or related persons to protect patients from infectious agents, splashes of potentially contaminated fluids and particles. Disposable, non-sterile. EN14683 Type IIR are medical face masks that consist of a protective 3-layer construction that prevents large particles from reaching the patient or work surface. The Type IIR mask is a 3-layer mask for use in medical and non-medical environments. This mask is for single use only and is disposable. The mask is non-fitting and provides splash protection, helping to protect against harmful particles and droplets entering the nose.
High-Standard Type IIR Masks
The masks are liquid repellent 3-layer surgical face masks type IIR. They offer high filtration performance and high protection when there is a risk of liquid contamination. Made of lightweight materials, they have secure ear loops and an integrated nose clip for a secure fit. They can be used to either place the face mask loops further away from the ears so they rub less, or to allow a tighter fit if the masks are loose.
These surgical face masks are an ideal disposable item to prevent the spread of COVID19 (Corona virus). They should be used as a measure to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. You should also wash your hands regularly with warm, soapy water and use hand sanitizer when traveling. These face masks are made of a 3-ply polypropylene construction, minimizing the possibility of infection. With latex-free elastic loops and an integrated nose strip, these masks provide a secure and comfortable fit. Type IIR face masks are more expensive than other lower grades of disposable masks, but for good reason. In order to be sold on the European market, all type IIR masks must carry a CE mark. However, there are only a limited number of factories offering IIR type masks and even fewer factories have CE certification.
Phoenix Type IIR Masks
Phoenix Type IIR masks are designed with high quality elastane ear loops to ensure the masks fit as close to the face as possible. Our masks also feature a metal nose clip that extends the full width of the mask so it can be clamped firmly to the nose. These features help the mask maintain its shape on the face and prevent the glasses from fogging up. The 3-ply disposable face masks are primarily intended for medical professionals. They are also worn by others in situations where a distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained, such as in shops and workplaces. The two outer layers of the 4-layer mask are made of non-woven fabric. The two inner layers of the mask are made of a melt-blown polypropylene. This is a fine mesh of synthetic fibers that provide filtration. This inner layer allows the wearer to breathe normally while reducing the possible ingress of infectious particles. Equipped with two white elastic ear loops that allow easy and quick donning and doffing. Inside the mask is a thin, flexible metal strip that fits over the nose. The face masks are 17.5 cm wide and 9.5 cm deep, a universal size that fits most people.
