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
