KN95

KN95 masks

KN95 masks have a particle filtration capacity of 95 percent , compared to 92 percent for FFP2, which makes them a product especially indicated for protection against viruses. Its great protection will take care of your health and that of the people around you following proper use, given that it is a non-reusable product and whose functionalities are guaranteed for a period of 8 to 12 hours of continuous use. The filters to prevent particles from penetrating wear out after that time, losing the characteristic effectiveness of this type of protective masks.

Protect your health with these masks at Farma2Go. In the case of coronavirus, especially indicated for people who are in contact with the virus or who have to work with infected people. At Farma2Go you can find K95 masks for high respiratory protection made with 5 layers: 3 layers of 50-gram non-woven fabrics, with 2 intermediate layers of 25 grams of high-quality “melt-blown” fabric. Its fabric is pleasant and does not cause irritation to the skin, offering respiratory protection against certain non-oil particles, such as dust, sand, pollen, etc.

They protect from the outside in and from the inside out. Designed to filter particles, aerosols and biological agents present in the environment, preventing them from being inhaled by the user. In addition, it has an anatomical design to fit better on the face with strong, more elastic bands to fit better and softer. Thanks to this anatomical design, it helps prevent glasses from continually fogging up. It also has a nose clip (metal band) covered by the mask fabric to prevent breakage or loss. These KN95 Masks do not give excessive heat. Despite being very dense, it is a pleasant fabric that does not feel overwhelming or hot.

How do you put on a mask?

1. Avoid touching the inside of the mask.
2. Adjust the elastic band around your ears until you are in a comfortable position.
3. Adjust the external face of the mask to the structure of the face until it is well deployed and sealed.
4. Adjust the nose clip with both hands until it fits firmly on your nose.
5. Change the mask if it is wet, damaged or if you have breathing difficulties.

The effectiveness of protection will depend largely on proper handling and use.

It is recommended that adults supervise the placement, use and removal of the mask in children.

Risks of Exceeding the Shelf Life of the KN95

KN95 masks have a lifespan of between 8 and 12 hours. Furthermore, it is very important not to reuse masks that are single-use, given that their effectiveness will be seriously impaired and can, in some senses, be counterproductive to our health, apart from the risks generated by believing that one is protected, when in reality it is not...

Excessively extending the recommended hours of use for a mask is something that entails certain dangers, apart from that false belief of being protected. The filters, which are essential for the purifying and barrier action of the mask, become clogged with use, and it is after these hours that they no longer function correctly and can allow potentially infectious and contagious particles to enter and exit.

And this is not the only risk! In fact, improper use of masks can lead to a wide variety of pathologies and infections. The droplets of saliva that we expel when speaking accumulate on the inside of the mask, wetting the fabric and favoring, over time, the growth of fungi and colonies of bacteria, which can cause respiratory or body problems. For example, it is common, as a result of improper use of masks, the appearance of mouth ulcers, the appearance of small wounds in the corners of the lips and the development of small pimples and acne.

Luckily, avoiding all this is simple: use your mask only for the recommended hours and do not reuse single-use ones. For this, there are already reusable masks, which we can wash comfortably and use again a specific number of times.

Equivalence table for FFP2 - KN95 Masks of the European Regulations with the rest of the accepted technical specifications of other countries

As shown in the table, masks that are duly certified and meet the indicated health standards function in a very similar way, according to the performance requirements established in the standards and confirmed during tests to evaluate the quality and functionality of the masks.

On this basis of comparison, it is reasonable to consider that the Chinese KN95, AS / NZ P2, Korea 1st Class and Japan DS masks are equivalent elements to the US NIOSH N95 and European FFP2 respirators, to filter particles, droplets and splashes. , as well as for the prevention of the spread of viruses that may cause infection to third parties.
