Description:
The 3M Model 1860 comes with a collapse-resistant cup-shape design. It provides additional comfort through braided head straps, cushioned nose foam and lightweight construction. This model also fits a wide range of faces as this is available in two different sizes (3M Model 1860 and 3M Model 1860s)
The 3M model 1860 comes with a snug fitting and superior filtering capability that most surgical masks don’t provide. The snug fit around the face prevents leakage where the airborne particles are most likely to enter. 3M model 1860 particulate respirator is highly recommended for healthcare facilities where an N95 respirator is needed.
Level of Protection:
The 3M Model 1860 medical mask has been approved by NIOSH and FDA to be used as a surgical mask. This N95 quality particulate respirator works great for healthcare providers as it has been designed to provide respiratory protection to wearers as well. Patient safety always comes first, but healthcare providers also need to be protected so that they can continue to take care of their patients. The 3M Model 1860 can provide protection against airborne diseases (up to 95% biological particles). The 3M Model 1860 has been designed to protect healthcare providers from certain biological particles generated by surgical processes, such as electrocautery, laser surgery etc. This disposable mask also helps protect us from infectious diseases through its fluid resistance (ASTM F1862) from certain infectious materials, and splash and spatter of blood.
It can also help control Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposure as per CDC guidelines. According to ASTM F2101, this model provides 99% Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE).
Surgical masks are intended to reduce patient or healthcare provider exposure from microorganisms associated with the wearer. Fluid-resistant masks can also prevent potential exposure from blood and body fluids. In addition with this, 3M model 1860 particulate respirator also provides respiratory protection from certain airborne biological particles.
