What is the difference between surgical masks and N95 respirators?

COVID 19 Related PPE Feb 23, 2026
Answer:
Surgical masks are loose-fitting disposable masks that provide a barrier to large respiratory droplets and splashes. N95 respirators are a type of mask that provides a higher level of filtration and is designed to fit tightly to the face, filtering out smaller particles. N95 respirators are typically reserved for healthcare workers and individuals in high-risk settings.
