Medical face masks are single-use devices made of flexible fabric or paper material held in place with ties or straps that cover the mouth and/or nose to permit normal breathing while protecting against the transfer of large particles. These disposable masks are intended to protect users from infective agents and reduce the risk of spread of infections, particularly in epidemic or pandemic situations, whilst also protecting wearers against splashes of potentially contaminated droplets.
