maseczki ochronne A medical mask, also referred to as an oral or facial mask, is meant to be worn by medical professionals in health care settings.  It's designed to prevent inhalation of bacteria and droplets in the air by capturing airborne bacteria that are shed in the mouth and nostrils of the wearer and capturing them in a protective covering.

There are lots of different types of medical masks available and are used by many different 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 create medical masks range 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're resistant to infections and contaminants, latex masks can deteriorate and may not provide sufficient ventilation or are too thin.  While they are stronger than many other kinds of health mask materials, they are not ideal for long periods of use.

Polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam or High-Density Silicon, is a relatively new sort of health mask material.  This type of mask is like a plastic container, which is usually produced from a high density foam which has an airtight seal when stuffed with medical waste and placed inside the hospital.

Styrofoam is typically thick enough to prevent germs from getting into 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 individual 's sneezing, coughing or breathing heavily.  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 therefore won't degrade over time like other materials.  It has a water-resistant covering and can be easily molded into any shape or form, making it very versatile.   However, it is much less readily cleaned as other materials and requires frequent replacement or specialist cleaning.

Since these masks are intended for use by healthcare workers, they need to be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis to help keep the patient and staff protected.  This should be done by a trained professional using antibacterial solutions, which is usually included in any equipment purchased by the hospital or medical facility.
 
Cleaning is easy since the materials are nonporous and there are no chemicals used to wash them.  They require just a simple wipe down with a damp cloth or wet wash cloth to remove excess moisture and bacteria.  In cases of excessive wear, such as in the case of prolonged hospital work hours, it's important to wash the mask often to avoid contamination and ensure a fresh infection-free environment.
 
To disinfect the mask, sanitizer solutions should be poured into a spray bottle and allowed to soak in the foam.  The solution should be allowed to sit for thirty minutes, so it doesn't soak into the mask but instead into the skin beneath.  After the sanitizer has been applied, it's important to rinse off the mask completely with clean water to remove any residual sanitizer.
 
Cleaning masks at the hospital can be a pain for the staff members, but if done correctly can prevent infections and reduce costs by protecting the employees and patients from contaminants which can infect them.  Even a simple solution of one cup of bleach diluted in 2 quarts of water is sufficient to purge and sterilize the mask, preventing it from spreading bacteria and potentially causing a serious infection.
 
Although sanitizing is very important other than the obvious reason of preventing contamination, the mask itself might also need sanitizing to remove food, drink or other substance which can get into the air during use.  By way of instance, if there are patients who are in and out of the room throughout the course of the day, the mask can frequently become contaminated during their use.  Cleaning this area of the mask with a bleach solution gives a clean-air space that prevents contamination and allows the air to flow freely.  Bleach solutions may also be used to sanitize tools and instruments in the room, in addition to clean up droppings from patients and staff.
