How long can a disposable mask last? Ender medical will tell us

Ande medical: we should be familiar with disposable masks. Many people wear masks to prevent air pollution when traveling. Children and the elderly have poor immunity and are vulnerable to virus pollution. Therefore, it is very necessary for such people to wear disposable masks when going out. Now, let's talk about how long a disposable mask can be used?

Disposable masks can not be reused. Generally, they need to be replaced after 6-8 hours of use. Moreover, the two sides of the mask cannot be used alternately, because the outer layer of the mask often accumulates a lot of dirt such as dust and bacteria in the external air, while the inner layer blocks the exhaled bacteria and saliva. If the two sides are used alternately, some dirt and other substances contaminated by the outer layer will be directly close to the mouth and nose, which will enter the human body through the respiratory tract and affect the health of the human body.

After using the mask, you should also pay attention to putting it into a clean envelope. When storing it, you should fold the side close to your mouth and nose inward. Do not put it into a bag or hang it around your neck.

Ande medical said that it should also be noted that the use of disposable masks must be used within the validity period. Expired masks should not be used. They can only be used once and must be destroyed after use. If the package is found to be damaged during purchase, it can not be purchased or used. Pay attention to its production date and buy the products produced in the near future.
