Breathe easier with the right respiratory protection
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of respiratory protection in healthcare settings and in the community. Healthcare workers at high risk of infection need the most effective respiratory protection, and not all surgical masks and respirators are alike. Checking for proper fit, donning and doffing correctly, and following manufacturers’ instructions for use (IFU) are among the practices that can help to reduce the risk of infection transmission.
