maseczki A medical mask, also referred to as an oral or facial mask, is meant to be worn by medical professionals in healthcare settings. It's designed to reduce inhalation of bacteria and droplets from the air by capturing airborne bacteria that are shed from the mouth and nostrils of the wearer and capturing them in a protective covering.
There are lots of different forms of health masks available and are used by a variety of medical professionals. Some of the common applications for medical masks include providing protection to the respiratory system and eyes from infectious disease and minimizing exposure to contaminated equipment.
The many different materials used to make medical masks vary from latex to silicon. Latex masks have long been a preferred material by many medical professionals because of their ability to resist bacteria and other contaminants while maintaining sufficient ventilation. However, while they are resistant to infections and contamination, latex masks can deteriorate and may not provide adequate ventilation or are too thin. While they are more durable than many other kinds of health mask materials, they are not ideal for long periods of usage.
Polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam or High-Density Silicon, is a fairly new type of health mask material. This sort of mask is like a plastic container, which is usually made of a high density foam that has an airtight seal when filled with medical waste and placed within the hospital.
Styrofoam is normally thick enough to prevent germs from entering the individual 's respiratory system and is designed in such a way that air can be pumped through the mask quickly. Because it's not thick, it's also able to move around freely, keeping the nose clean and the mouth dry and preventing contamination from the patient's sneezing, coughing or breathing deeply. They're more expensive than other medical mask materials but have proven to be an effective choice for hospital employees.
Silicone is a natural product and so will not degrade over time like other materials. It has a water-resistant covering and can be easily molded into any shape or form, which makes it very versatile. However, it's much less readily cleaned as other materials and requires frequent replacement or professional cleaning.
Since these masks are designed for use by healthcare employees, they need to be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis to help keep the patient and staff shielded. This should be done by a trained professional using antibacterial solutions, which is typically included in any equipment purchased by the hospital or medical facility.
Cleaning is easy since the substances are nonporous and there are no chemicals used to wash them. In cases of excessive wear, like in the case of prolonged hospital work hours, it's important to clean the mask often to prevent contamination and ensure a new infection-free environment.
To disinfect the mask, sanitizer solutions should be poured into a spray bottle and allowed to soak into the foam. The solution should then be allowed to sit for thirty minutes, so it doesn't soak in the mask but instead into the skin beneath. After the sanitizer was applied, it's important to rinse off the mask completely with clean water to remove any remaining sanitizer.
Cleaning masks at the hospital can be a pain for the staff members, but if done properly can prevent infections and reduce costs by protecting the employees and patients from contaminants that could infect them. Even a simple solution of one cup of bleach diluted in 2 quarts of water is enough to effectively disinfect and sterilize the mask, preventing it from spreading germs and potentially causing a serious infection.
Although sanitizing is very important besides the obvious reason of preventing contamination, the mask itself may also need sanitizing to remove food, drink or other substance that can get into the air during use. By way of example, if there are patients that are in and out of the room during the course of the day, the mask can often become contaminated during their use. Cleaning this area of the mask using a bleach solution gives a clean-air space that prevents contamination and allows the air to flow freely. Bleach solutions can also be used to sanitize tools and instruments in the room, as well as clean up droppings from staff and patients.
