At LHM, our procedure face masks are designed for medical-grade use. In Europe and the UK, procedure masks are typically rated according to the EN14683 rating system. The procedure masks we have for sale are equivalent to either the Type II or Type IIR standard, which designates them as ASTM level 1 and level 3 respectively. 

​

Those intended for medical use should be of Type IIR standard, as they have up to 160mmHg of fluid resistance – meaning splashes, sprays and other liquid contaminants from medical procedures will not enter through the mask material. In comparison, a Type II earloop procedure face mask may only protect against small amounts of liquid that come into contact with the mask. 

Made with 3 ply non-woven fabric and elastic earloops, our fluid-resistant procedure masks are intended to be disposed of after each use to ensure proper protection for the wearer and patients.
