Surgical Mask Theme
Tagged under Masks.
A surgical mask, also known as a medical face mask, is a personal protective equipment worn by health professionals
during medical procedures. They can also be worn as means to prevent transmission of bacteria from the wearer to other
people, or to prevent the wearer from inhaling smaller airborne pathogens or irritants (pollen, dust etc.).
The design of the surgical masks depends on the mode; usually, the masks are three-ply (three layers). This
three-ply material is made up of a melt-blown polymer, most commonly polypropylene, placed between non-woven fabric.
They can come in a variety of colors and patterns.
The tag can also be applied to images
featuring masks that serve a similar purpose but don't look 100% the same as a surgical mask (example). However, they must be fastened in the same manner i.e.
around the ears.
