A Medical Face Mask is a disposable, single-use protective device designed to cover the nose and mouth, helping reduce the transmission of infectious agents between patients and healthcare providers. It serves as a barrier against respiratory droplets, aerosols, and other particulate matter, making it essential for infection control in clinical, hospital, and community settings.
Medical face masks are widely used in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and during procedures where exposure to pathogens is possible, protecting both the wearer and those around them.
Key Features

Designed to block bacteria, viruses, dust, and other airborne particles while allowing comfortable breathing.
3. Adjustable Nose Clip
Ensures a secure and snug fit over the nose, reducing fogging of eyewear and improving seal.
