What is the difference between Non-Medical and Medical Masks?

The difference between medical and non medical masks has nothing to do with the protection abilities of the mask. It has to do with if the masks are made in a sterile environment (clean room) -classified as medical or a clean non sterile environment – non medical. The other fact is masks may have different qualities. Our masks have been tested and do meet the highest standards for a level 1 medical mask. They are just made in a non-sterile environment and hence are non-sterile and considered a non-medical mask. This saves a few dollars on the cost of the masks. They are however very high quality masks. In an environment where the area is non-sterile anyways it is not as big a concern. In an environment where you need to maintain a sterile environment these masks would not be appropriate and we would recommend our Professional Medical masks.

How Do These Medical Masks Work?

According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) medical masks limit the spread of infectious particles such as COVID-19 expelled by the user.  They are used to help protect the area around the user from contamination by particles expelled by the user, such as those generated by coughs or sneezes.  Medical masks also help provide a physical barrier to protect the user from splashes, sprays, droplets in the air, or contact with contaminated hands.

CDC and Health Canada Recommends Wearing Face Masks!

The CDC and Health Canada has now recommended people should be wearing face masks in public. We now know from recent studies that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (“asymptomatic”) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (“pre-symptomatic”) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms. This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms. In light of this new evidence, it is recommended the individuals wear face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
