What are the contraindications when using face masks?

Don't pull on the chin, hang on the arm

When some people wear masks, they pull the face mask up to the chin and release mouth and nose. This not only loses the protection of mouth and nose, but also contaminates the inner layer of the mask. If the mask is put back on, the risk of infecting yourself with the virus increases. Some people put the mask on their arms after taking off their face masks, which is also not advisable. In the event of physical activity, the mask may come into contact with virus-contaminated objects, and also the inner layer of the mask is easily contaminated with dust and bacteria, which are more likely to be infected when worn again.

Do not touch the outside of the face mask

The face mask can block droplets. If you touch the outside of the face mask with your hands, your hands may be contaminated by the outside of the mask. If you have touched your nose and eyes with impure hands, the virus will enter the human body unconsciously. When removing the face mask, it should be removed with a bandage and blown up. Try to avoid the face mask touching any part of your body.


What are the types of face masks classified by wearing method?

face masks are divided into three types according to different wearing forms, namely:

1. Head-mounted face mask: suitable for workshop workers who wear it for a long time, and it is troublesome to wear.

2. Ear-worn face mask: easy to wear, suitable for frequent wearing and taking off.

3. Neck-worn face mask: Use S hooks and some soft material connectors to connect the earbands and convert them into neckbands, which are suitable for long-term wearing, and are more convenient for workshop workers to wear helmets or protective clothing.


When do I need to replace the face mask?

1. The face mask is contaminated, such as foreign objects such as blood stains or droplets.

2. The user feels that the breathing resistance increases.

3. The face mask is damaged.

4. Dust filter cotton, when the mask is in good contact with the user's face, when the user feels that the breathing resistance is very large, it means that the filter cotton is full of dust particles, and a new mask should be replaced.

5. The anti-virus filter box should be replaced with a new one when the user smells the poison when the mask is in good contact with the user's face.

6. Ordinary face mask wearing: activated carbon masks can be used for 2 days in general, and n95 can be used for a week. If the mask is not worn for a long time after cleaning, it is better to re-clean it before wearing it.
