What is the difference between non-medical and medical disposable masks
Editor：Zhejiang Antipollution Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. │ Release Time：2023-06-20
There are differences between non-medical disposable masks and medical disposable masks in the following aspects:
Protection standards: Medical disposable masks usually need to meet specific protection standards and specifications, such as ASTM standards (American Association for Medical Devices) or EN standards (European standards), to ensure their appropriate level of protection in medical environments. Non-medical masks are generally not required to meet these specific standards.
• YY/T 0969-2013 Disposable Flat Mask (Medical)
• 3 Layer
• Bacterial filtration efficiency ≥ 95%
• white
Material and filtration performance: Medical masks usually use high-efficiency filter materials, such as meltblown cloth (meltblown) layers, to effectively filter particles and bacteria. The filter material of non-medical masks may be relatively simple or have no melt-blown cloth layer, and the filter performance is relatively low.
Applicable scenarios: Medical masks are mainly used in medical environments, such as hospitals, clinics, operating rooms, etc., to provide effective protection and prevent the spread of pathogens. Non-medical masks are usually used in non-medical environments, such as daily life, work, travel and other scenarios, to provide a certain degree of protection.

Registration and certification: Medical masks usually require relevant registration and certification to ensure that they meet the requirements and specifications of medical devices. Non-medical masks may not be subject to these specific registrations and certifications.
When purchasing a mask, if you need to use it in a medical environment, it is recommended to choose a medical disposable mask to ensure that it meets the relevant protection standards and performance requirements. If used only in non-medical settings, non-medical masks can provide some level of protection, but be aware that they have relatively low filtration performance. No matter which mask you choose, wearing and using it correctly, and following hygiene guidelines and recommendations, are important steps to protecting yourself and others from the spread of pathogens.
