The government recommends surgical/medical masks
According to the recommendation of the Minister of Health, from February 27, 2021, everyone is obliged to cover their mouth and nose in public places by wearing masks, with particular recommendation to use medical / surgical masks. It will no longer be possible to use visors, scarves, chimney shawls or bandamas for this purpose.
Government-recommended medical / surgical masks are a medical device that is regulated by the European Union for medical products. Such masks must have a CE declaration of conformity and meet the EN14683: 2019 + AC standards.
The above conditions are met by medical (surgical) masks produced by PTAK Medical. In addition to the fact that their production is carried out using the highest standards (ISO), they guarantee as much as 99% filtration efficiency. This was confirmed in medical tests conducted by the Central Institute for Labor Protection – National Research Institute (CIOP), during which it was proved that the tested masks meet all the requirements and confirm high filtration efficiency, breathing resistance and microbiological purity.
Which mask to choose?
By wearing a mask, we protect ourselves and others. To what extent – it depends on the quality of the mask used. The mask prevents secretions from our mouth and nose from escaping into the space, thus reducing the risk of droplet infection of people nearby. However, it is worth noting a clear difference between non-medical masks and medical (surgical) masks – offered by PTAK Medical. Non-medical masks can be made of various fabrics and do not guarantee adequate air filtration, therefore they do not protect against inhalation of pollutants and microorganisms. We also cannot be sure about the conditions under which they were produced. The situation is different in the case of medical / surgical masks, which are a medical device – registered in the Office for Registration of Medical Devices. Medical masks are tested and the production process is extremely rigorous, following the ISO rules for the production of medical masks.
The purchase of medical masks from a Polish manufacturer, which is PTAK Medical, guarantees, above all, safety, filtration efficiency and the authenticity of the tests.
Free breathing is as important as viral filtration. Unlike FFP2, K95 or KN95 masks, medical masks manufactured by PTAK Medical guarantee high quality of breathing and proper adjustment to the shape of the face, ensuring the best protection. Proper wearing of masks on the nose and mouth greatly affects their effectiveness, so it is worth paying attention to this issue when choosing a mask. The next thing is the price. In the case of medical masks, it is several times lower than the FFP2, K95 and KN95 masks, with excellent filtration efficiency – much higher than the FFP2, K95, KN95.
We guarantee that the medical masks we produce are in accordance with the PN-EN 14683: 2019 + AC standard and thus meet the requirements of the Act of May 20, 2010 on medical devices, implementing the provisions of Directive 93/42 / EEC on medical devices.
