SURGICAL FACE MASKS & RESPIRATORS DUST MASKS FAQ's
What are Respirators Dust Masks?

Respirators dust masks are protective devices that cover the nose and mouth or the entire face to prevent the inhalation of harmful particles, such as smoke, dust, fumes, gases, or vapors. They can be disposable or reusable, and they can filter out different percentages of airborne matter depending on the type and rating of the mask

What are Surgical Face Masks?

Surgical face masks are disposable masks that cover the nose and mouth and are intended to protect the wearer from contact with droplets and sprays that may contain germs. They also filter out large particles in the air when the wearer breathes in. Surgical face masks are not personal protective equipment and are not a substitute for respirators, which provide respiratory protection to the wearer1. Surgical face masks are commonly used in healthcare settings and are regulated by the FDA.

What is the difference between a face mask and a surgical mask?

While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures.
