FFP3 class medical respirators

FFP3

— the top-tier protection in contemporary respirators ensures filtration of 99% of particles sized 0.3 microns or larger. It allows for up to 30 uses even in conditions exceeding maximum permissible concentrations (MPC), providing additional defense against pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

These respirators are considered the optimal choice for medical staff, especially in infectious disease departments, where only insulating respirators or airtight suits offer higher biosecurity. Individuals who frequently face a high risk of airborne infection, such as those dealing with tuberculosis patients, may find respirators of this class suitable. For everyday household prevention against less aggressive infections transmitted through droplets, a lower protection class is usually sufficient. It's important to note that respirators with valves are generally undesirable for anti-epidemic use; refer to "Additional — Valve" for more details.
