3 ply surgical mask

A three-ply mask is a three-layered face mask made of a thermoplastic polymer, fabric, Polypropylene (PP), used in upper & lower layers, and paper filter in between. It must maintain smooth breathing with a minimum 95% filtration efficiency to filter bacteria and common particles around us.

How does 3 ply surgical mask helps fight COVID-19?

Health officials say that differently sized respiratory droplets from a CoVid-19 infected person are the main human to human transmission route for coronavirus and thus, 3 ply masks should be worn by contagious patients to prevent their droplets of saliva or secretions when they exhale. This would break the chain of contaminating the patient’s environment and surroundings. If worn by a health or social care worker, it will protect the wearer from the coronavirus that transmits through respiratory droplets. Wearing a 3 ply mask will not guarantee that you won’t get infected, but surely will cut the chance of passing the disease to a great extent.

Infrared Thermometer (IR) thermometer:

An IR thermometer is a non-contact thermometer that can infer the temperature from a portion of thermal or infrared radiation after scanning portions of an object with the help of the built-in laser. These handheld devices are currently used in the laboratory and a wide range of industrial temperature control applications.

Ever since the outbreak of COVID 19, the use of these devices for routine check temperature has increased in offices, malls, airports and different checkpoints. As the nature of the disease is contagious, here temperature in such cases cannot be checked by using a regular mercury thermometer. The main advantage of such electric guns can measure the body temperature from a distance, while the idea of sticking a thermometer in everyone’s mouth is impractical.

Though it doesn’t provide 100% accuracy, as the temperature reading can be affected by the presence of water and wind. But if used properly, it may help to identify the infected people who require more attention. And in the current scenario, most of the countries are heavily dependent on IR thermometer.

Ventilator

A ventilator is a medical device that provides mechanical ventilation to a patient who is unable to breathe on his own. This machine imitates the performance of healthy lungs, i.e. pumps the breathable air to move into the lungs let it come out of the lungs through a pipe inserted in their windpipes.

This life-saving machine is crucial to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients. Coronavirus enters into the lower track of the respiratory system and damages the alveoli of the lungs that help to flow oxygen into the bloodstream. Infected alveoli start to be filled with fluid instead of air, which readily terminate oxygen supply to all body parts. The ventilator helps to fight this life and death situation for critically ill coronavirus patients. It quickly and effectively flows oxygen back to the body, while doctors can buy more time to heal the infected lungs.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits:

PPE is specialized equipment or clothing (usually consists of standard precautions: gloves, mask, gown) worn by health care workers for protection against infectious patients. But for airborne and blood infections, this kit will include: Face protection, mask goggles or face shield, and gloves, head cover, rubber boots. By creating a barrier, PPE prevents contact between the health care worker and potential infectious patient.

Using PPE kits is a crucial measure to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep the doctors, nurses, other caregivers who are currently on the pandemic’s frontlines safe, as they cannot maintain a safe distance from patients while seeing them. PPE helps to shield healthcare workers from droplets from sneezes, coughs and other body fluids from infected contagious patients and potentially contaminated surfaces.

Hand gloves:

Hand Gloves are disposable gloves that are used to prevent cross-contamination between the wearer and/or the patient during medical procedures or examinations. They are made up of different kinds of polymer such as latex, polyvinyl chloride, nitrile rubber, and neoprene. Hand gloves are a crucial part of an infection control strategy.

How do hand gloves help fight COVID-19?

COVID-19 mainly spreads from an infected person through respiratory droplets. One of the major chances to get affected by the virus is from contaminated surfaces. So, whenever you touch the surface where the virus may be on, and then touch your nose, mouth or eyes then you have probably exposed yourself to the virus.

The best way to protect yourself and others from this deadly virus is to wash your hand through soap and water, or sanitizers for 20 sec regularly throughout the day. But when you out for any emergency to other public places, you may not be able to clean your hand properly. That’s the situation you need to wear gloves.

N95 mask

The N95 mask is an example of personal protective equipment that gives protection to the wearer from liquid contaminating the face and from airborne particles. This is the most common and hugely used particulate-filtering facepiece respirator.

According to research, coronavirus is airborne and believed to transmit from one person to another by inhaling the airborne particles. So it a better idea to cover your mouth and nose. This N95 mask is designed to block not only the droplet but prevents 95% small (0.3 microns) particles (aerosols) to enter in mouth and nose; that readily reduced the chances of contamination. For health care workers these kinds of devices are proven to be protective against infection.

But they work perfectly only if they fit and often cause difficulty to breathe. So it might be dangerous for a new coronavirus patient having symptoms of shortness of breathing.

Reusable mask and How do they help fight COVID-19?

According to maximum health specialists, the reusable masks that are made of cotton can provide 50-60 % of filtration efficiency. It can reduce the risk of spreading the virus, so it is highly advisable to use reusable masks, rather than not to wear any mask at all.

Majority of the population don’t have the access of surgical masks or N95 mask, or it’s even not appropriate for all people. Reusable masks can be beneficial to lower the risk of community spread.

For example, when an infected person goes out without wearing a mask, the chance of spreading the virus enhanced by 50%. It’s advisable to wear a face mask when you go out, but more importantly, practice personal hygiene and adopt the physical distancing measures.

You can choose between a surgical mask and a reusable cloth mask based upon the type of activity. For “low-risk” activities such as going for walk nearby, you may choose the cloth one. And use surgical masks for “high-risk” activities like going to a supermarket or using public transport.

Hand Sanitizer

It’s the convenient, on-the-go method generally used to decrease infectious agents (common pathogens) of cleaning hands on the hands. Sanitizers also called hand antiseptic, hand rubs are typically available as liquids, gels, and foams. Whereas the effectiveness of hand sanitizers may vary with its compositions, alcohol-based (usually contains ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol) versions are preferable in most of the healthcare situations.

How does Hand sanitizer help to fight COVID-19:

Alcohol-based (60-90%) hand sanitizers are proven to be effective at killing distinct types of microbes, (including both viruses and bacteria) as it denatures and unfolds the protective outer proteins and stick together the proteins and finally make the microbes inactive.

As advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to stop the spread of coronavirus is to wash your hand with plain water or soap, or with hand sanitizer for 20 sec in a regular interval of time throughout the day. It reduces the growth of germs in your hands that lowers the risk of getting sick.

Safety must be the first concern of any organization in these extraordinary times. We can’t come back to normalcy after months of inactivity and quarantine. Preparation of fight medical emergencies must be taken seriously.

We need to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. To prepare for this COVID-19 emergency we bring you the best quality COVID-19 equipment around the country. To get a quote call 7406000559or leave a mail at contact@vmedo.com
