Reliable Medical-Grade Protection for Everyday Use

The Steroplast Blue Type IIR Certified Disposable Face Masks are medical-grade, 3-ply surgical masks designed to meet the EN14683 Type IIR standard. Each mask provides a minimum bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of 98% and includes a splash-resistant outer layer for added protection against fluids.

Made from high-quality materials, these masks are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for extended wear. The soft ear loops and adjustable nose wire ensure a secure fit, reducing gaps and helping prevent fogging when worn with glasses.

These are the same masks commonly used in hospitals, surgeries, dental practices, and care settings across the UK.

How to Wear 3 Ply Face Masks

Surgical face masks should:

• Be secured to the head with ties or earloops
• Cover your nose and mouth while allowing you to breathe comfortably
• Ideally include at least two layers of fabric (the World Health Organisation recommends three depending on the fabric used)

When wearing a disposable medical face mask you should:

• Avoid wearing on your neck or forehead
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser before putting a face covering on
• Avoid touching the part of the face-covering in contact with your mouth and nose, as it could be contaminated with the virus
• Change the face-covering if it becomes damp or if you've touched it
• Avoid taking it off and putting it back on in quick succession (for example, when leaving and entering shops)

When removing a Type IIR face mask:

• Only handle the straps, ties, or clips
• Do not give it to someone else to use
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser before and after removing
• If it is single-use, dispose of it carefully in a residual waste bin and do not recycle
• If reusable, wash it in line with the manufacturer's instructions at the highest temperature appropriate for the fabric
