It's designed to reduce inhalation of bacteria and droplets from the atmosphere by capturing airborne bacteria which are shed in the mouth and nostrils of the wearer and catching them in a protective covering.

There are lots of unique types of medical masks available and are used by a variety of medical professionals. Some of the common applications for medical masks include providing protection to the respiratory system and eyes from infectious disease and minimizing exposure to contaminated equipment.

The many diverse materials used to make medical masks range from latex to silicon. But while they are resistant to infections and contaminants, latex masks can deteriorate and may not provide adequate ventilation or are too thin. While they are stronger than many other kinds of health mask materials, they are not ideal for long periods of use.

Polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam or High-Density Silicon, is a relatively new type of medical mask material. This sort of mask is like a plastic container, which is generally made of a high density foam that has an airtight seal when stuffed with medical waste and placed inside the hospital.

Styrofoam is typically thick enough to prevent germs from getting into the patient's respiratory system and is designed in such a way that air can be pumped through the mask quickly. Because it's not thick, it's also able to move around freely, keeping the nose clean and the mouth dry and preventing contamination from the patient's sneezing, coughing or breathing heavily. They are more expensive than other medical mask materials but have proven to be an effective choice for hospital employees.

Silicone is a natural product and therefore won't degrade over time like other materials. It's a water-resistant covering and can be easily molded into any shape or form, which makes it very versatile. However, it is not as easily cleaned as other substances and requires regular replacement or professional cleaning.

Since these masks are intended for use by healthcare workers, they should be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis to keep the patient and staff shielded. This should be done by a trained professional using antibacterial solutions, which is typically included in any equipment bought by the hospital or medical facility.

Cleaning is easy since the substances are nonporous and there are no chemicals used to wash them. They require only a simple wipe down with a damp cloth or wet wash cloth to remove excess moisture and germs. In cases of excessive wear, such as in the case of prolonged hospital work hours, it's important to wash the mask often to prevent contamination and ensure a fresh infection-free atmosphere.

The solution should then be permitted to sit for 30 minutes, so it doesn't soak into the mask but instead into the skin beneath. After the sanitizer has been implemented, it's important to rinse the mask off completely with clean water to remove any remaining sanitizer.

Cleaning masks at the hospital can be a pain for the staff members, but if done properly can prevent infections and reduce costs by protecting the employees and patients from contaminants which could infect them. Even a very simple solution of one cup of bleach diluted in two quarts of water is enough to effectively disinfect and sterilize the mask, preventing it from spreading bacteria and possibly causing a serious infection.

Although sanitizing is very important besides the obvious reason of preventing contamination, the mask itself might also need sanitizing to remove food, drink or other material that can get into the air during use. For instance, if there are individuals who are in and out of the room throughout the course of this day, the mask may frequently become contaminated during their use. Cleaning this area of the mask using a bleach solution provides a clean-air space that prevents contamination and allows the air to flow freely. Bleach solutions may also be used to sanitize tools and instruments in the room, in addition to clean up droppings from staff and patients.
