The ProShield® Super Resistant mask is ideal for
use during all types of surgical procedures where there is a risk of exposure
to body and blood fluids, such as orthopaedic surgery. It is also suitable for
use during laser surgery.

Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)
With a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of greater than
99% for media greater than 3 microns, this mask provides superior protection
from potential infection.
BFE is an independent test conducted by Nelson Laboratories
that measures the effectiveness of face mask materials to filter out bacteria.
Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE)
The super high Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE)
material filters >99% of particles greater than 0.1 microns. When securely fitted,
the mask helps to provide an effective barrier to particulate matter from laser
plumes and electrocautery procedures.
PFE measures effectiveness of the mask material to filter
particulate matter.
Breathability (Delta P)
The mask design provides excellent breathability and low
delta P (2.8) ensuring coolness and comfort even when worn for an extended
period.
Delta P, also conducted by Nelson Laboratories, is a test
that measures the breathability of mask materials, ranking masks on comfort and
coolness for the surgical mask wearer. The lower the figure, the cooler and
more comfortable the mask.
Fluid Resistance
The Super Fluid Resistant four layer design provides optimum
fluid resistance (160mmHg) thus minimising the risk of infection through
strikethrough.
Fluid resistance is measured in accordance with ASTM
F1862-98 & ASTM F1862-00a standard test method for resistance of medical
face masks to penetration by synthetic blood at 16.0kPa pressure.
