3 Ply Surgical Face Masks, Box of 50

Disposable face masks packed fifty to a box. The name on the box is 3 ply surgical mask, and that is what the supplier states: three layers, single use, thrown away at the end of a shift rather than washed and worn again. No filtration figure, material or standard is published for them.

Boxes of these move steadily through clinics and pharmacies, but the bigger trade is elsewhere: food handling and packing halls, salons, matatu and boda crews, school and office stores, and site offices that keep a box on the shelf for dusty sweeping or for a visitor who turns up without one. Hardware retailers and wholesalers take them by the carton.

One pack size only, the box of 50, which is the unit most buyers reorder on. Because the supplier publishes no filtration rating or standard for these masks, confirm what your clinic, employer or tender actually requires before ordering, especially if the work calls for a rated respirator rather than a general-purpose mask.
