A sharp increase in the need for protective masks has been felt since the health situation experienced in France and the whole world, to fight against the spread in particular of the coronavirus (Covid-19).

Browse our full range of respiratory protection designed to keep you safe in a variety of environments. Choose from our convenient options, including disposable masks, ideal for everyday use . Explore our selection of filter masks offering advanced protection. Opt for disposable FFP3 masks, disposable FFP2 masks, and disposable FFP1 masks for optimal protection.

Use of barrier masks

As part of personal protective equipment, barrier masks are filtering devices which cover the nose, mouth and chin. They are designed to protect the user against the spread of the coronavirus. Wearing a barrier mask helps to limit/reduce the risks of contamination. Indeed, each barrier mask must pass the filtration capacity and breathability test before obtaining sales authorization.

In addition, you must wear your mask for better protection. Before handling the mask, you must wash your hands. To put it on, you must take it by its elastics or by its straps, and ensure that it completely covers the nose up to the chin. It is necessary to adjust your mask as best as possible for stability and comfort.

Washable fabric barrier masks category 1/2: non-sanitary mask

Barrier masks must be added to social safety distances and essential barrier gestures. These masks are offered to the general public, knowing that FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 masks and surgical masks are reserved for health personnel and the medical profession.

Two new categories of masks for non-sanitary use have emerged thanks to the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), and ANSES to prevent droplet projections.

Category 1: individual masks for use by professionals in contact with the public.

These masks are intended for workers in positions or carrying out a mission in regular contact with the public.

Category 2: collective masks to protect an entire group wearing these masks.

These masks are intended for personnel who have occasional contact with other individuals.

Reusable barrier mask: in addition to barrier gestures

It is important to remember that barrier masks are additional equipment to protect yourself from the virus, this equipment can for example be supplemented by gloves, but be careful, you must always continue to respect barrier gestures to reduce the risks of transmission.

FFP type barrier masks are designed according to strict standards to offer optimal protection. Each version and type meets precise specifications, thus guaranteeing effectiveness against suspended particles. These masks, classified according to their filtration capacity, are essential for reducing the transmission of viruses and bacteria in various environments.

Made mainly from cotton, barrier masks are designed to be both washable and reusable, offering an ecological and economical solution for individual protection. Their design aims to combine comfort and efficiency, allowing prolonged use without discomfort, which makes them particularly suitable for everyday use.

It is strongly recommended to use barrier masks in addition to hydroalcoholic gel, especially for children, to ensure complete hand and face hygiene. This combination provides an effective barrier against the spread of germs and supports public health efforts to control infections.

The technical specifications and documents accompanying each barrier mask provide a detailed note on their effectiveness, their type of filtration, and instructions for use. This information is crucial to ensure users understand how and when to use their masks for maximum protection.

7 barrier gestures to prevent epidemics

To stop the spread of the coronavirus:

  • It is strongly recommended to stay at home and limit travel.
  • It is recommended to cough into your elbow.
  • It is recommended to avoid touching your face.
  • It is recommended to use single-use tissues and throw them away.
  • It is recommended to greet each other from afar.
  • It is recommended to maintain social distancing (safe distance)
  • It is also recommended to wash your hands often.

These simple actions accompanied by protective equipment help slow the progression of the virus and limit the risks. It is therefore important not to neglect these actions for our own protection and for the protection of the people around us.

Unlike disposable masks, most barrier masks are reusable and washable. These masks will therefore make it possible to overcome the shortage of masks.
