3M™ Health Care Particulate Respirator and Surgical Mask

Two styles of NIOSH-approved N95 particulate respirators/surgical masks. Appropriate where N95 respirator is recommended, they meet CDC guideline for M.tb exposure and help reduce exposure to airborne particles (e.g. laser or electrocautery plume).

The 1870 incorporates a 3M-patented, flat-fold/three-panel design that gives it a comfortable fit. Its unique design fits most face sizes and head shapes allowing standardization to a single respirator for use in the OR, for patient care and throughout the rest of the healthcare facility.

The 3M Health Care Particulate Respirator and Surgical Masks 1860 (standard) and 1860S (small) offer two sizes of the traditional molded style respirator. Respirators include a soft inner shell for greater comfort against the face.

Can be used during laser surgery, electrocautery and other procedures using powered medical instruments to help reduce wearer exposure to airborne particles (plume, smoke) generated during these procedures.

Fluid resistant to help reduce potential exposure of the wearer to the spray, spatter and aerosol of blood and body fluids. 1870 highly fluid and splash resistant.

3M offers training materials and services to help meet OSHA training regulations for the use of respirators.

They do not contain either natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber as components in the products or packaging.

The 1860 is available in regular (1860) and small sizes (1860S) to fit a variety of face shapes and sizes.

The 1870 fits most face sizes and head shapes, allowing standardization to a single respirator for use in the facility. Singly dispensed in individually packaged, sealed pouches to prevent contamination.

Before use for respiratory protection, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 2aC7R1910.134 such as medical evaluation, training, and fit testing. When used only as a surgical mask, fit testing is not required.
