What Sizes Do N95 Masks Come In?
Different types of filtering masks
The need to own personal protective equipment requires people to buy what is necessary to protect themselves from the threat of the Covid19 pandemic. At this time, wearing a mask is a must. One simply cannot hang out around the neighborhood without wearing any masks. Many variations of them continue due to the demand for masks.
Common types of masks on the market are as follows:
Cloth face coverings - This type of face covering is mainly made of fabric or cloth. There are many types of cloth masks on the market, but be sure to find one that is multi-layered, breathable, and tightly woven.
Disposable Mask - This is often referred to as a surgical mask. It is recommended to wear this mask only once. Ideally, after the first wear, it should be thrown away. When looking for disposable masks, look for those that indicate multiple layers of nonwoven material and nose wire. When using this mask, it is recommended to wear it in combination with a cloth mask for additional protection.
N95 masks - This type of mask is highly recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Due to the protective effect of such masks, many healthcare professionals prefer to use them over any other mask. With the availability of N95s, they can now be worn by the general public, such as those not part of a medical team.
