Presentation (PDF)
  • PPE is commonly used in health care settings such as hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinical labs
  • When used properly, PPE acts as a barrier between infectious materials such as viral and bacterial contaminants and your skin, mouth, nose, or eyes (mucous membranes)
  • When used properly and with other infection control practices such as hand-washing, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and covering coughs and sneezes, it minimizes the spread of infection from one person to another
  • The FDA regulates surgical masks and surgical N95 respirators differently based on their intended use.
