maseczki A medical mask, also called an oral or facial mask, is meant to be worn by medical professionals in healthcare settings. It's designed to prevent inhalation of bacteria and droplets from the air by capturing airborne bacteria that are shed from the mouth and nostrils of the wearer and catching them in a protective covering.
There are lots of different types of health masks available and are used by many different medical professionals. Other uses include protecting the respiratory system from chemical pollutants and irritants, reducing exposure to harmful agents, preventing damage to the eyes, skin, and nasal cavities and helping to protect the skin from burns and abrasions.
The many different materials used to create medical masks vary from latex to silicon. But 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 more durable than many other types of health mask materials, they aren't ideal for long periods of use.
Polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam or High-Density Silicon, is a relatively new type of medical mask material. This sort of mask is like a plastic container, which is usually produced from a high density foam which has an airtight seal when filled with medical waste and put within the hospital.
Styrofoam is typically thick enough to prevent bacteria from entering the patient's respiratory system and is designed in such a way that air can be pumped through the mask quickly. Because it is 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 heavily. They are more expensive than other medical mask materials but have shown to be an effective choice for hospital employees.
Silicone is a natural product and so won't degrade over time like other materials. It's a water-resistant covering and can be easily molded into any shape or form, making it very versatile. However, it's much less easily cleaned as other substances and requires frequent replacement or professional cleaning.
Since these masks are intended for use by healthcare workers, they should 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 bought by the hospital or medical facility.
Cleaning is easy since the substances are nonporous and there are no chemicals used to clean 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, like in the case of prolonged hospital work hours, it's important to wash 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 permitted to sit for 30 minutes, so it doesn't soak in the mask but rather to the skin beneath. After the sanitizer was implemented, 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 correctly can prevent infections and reduce costs by protecting the employees and patients from contaminants that can infect them. Even a very 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 possibly causing a severe infection.
Although sanitizing is quite important besides the obvious reason of preventing contamination, the mask itself might
also need sanitizing to remove food, drink or other substance that can get into the air during use. For example, if
there are individuals that are in and out of the space during the course of the day, the mask can often become
contaminated during their use. Cleaning this region of the mask using a bleach solution provides a clean-air area 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.
