How to Choose Medical PPE for Infection Control
Medical PPE for infection control encompasses surgical masks, N95 respirators, examination and surgical gloves, isolation and surgical gowns, face shields, and goggles — all designed to interrupt the transmission of blood-borne pathogens, respiratory aerosols, and contact contaminants.
