Surgical masks are disposable protective masks designed to cover the nose and mouth. They create a barrier to prevent the transmission of airborne particles, droplets, and other contaminants from the wearer to the environment and vice versa. Commonly used in medical and healthcare settings, surgical masks help maintain a sterile environment during surgeries and other medical procedures.
