Dukal 1541 - Surgical Mask Level 1 with Earloop, Blue - 50/BX, 6 BX/CS
The Dukal 1541 Surgical Mask Level 1 with Earloop is a high quality, disposable protective mask designed for basic infection control. It features a three layer construction with a blue outer layer, an effective filter media, and a soft inner layer for comfort. Each mask is equipped with secure earloops for easy donning and removal, and a pliable nosepiece that ensures a better fit and helps reduce fogging of eyewear. The box contains 50 masks, and each case includes 6 boxes, making it a practical choice for both clinical and general healthcare environments.
Key Benefits
The mask meets ASTM Level 1 performance standards, providing reliable protection against low levels of fluid exposure and respiratory droplets. The lightweight, breathable design ensures comfort during extended wear, while the earloop design supports fast and efficient application. Its sterile, single use nature minimizes the risk of cross contamination and supports strict infection prevention protocols. Cost efficiency is achieved through bulk packaging of 300 masks per case.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal 1541 Surgical Masks are widely used in hospitals, outpatient facilities, dental practices, and laboratory environments. They are suitable for healthcare workers, administrative staff, and visitors who require standard barrier protection. Designed for low fluid environments, they are best suited for routine examinations, minor procedures, and daily protection in clinical or office settings.
Usage Guidelines
Wash or sanitize hands before handling the mask. Place the mask over the nose and mouth with the earloops secured behind the ears. Adjust the nosepiece to ensure a snug fit. Do not touch the front of the mask once it is in place. Replace the mask if it becomes wet, soiled, or damaged. Dispose of properly after single use, following facility and local disposal protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 1541 Surgical Mask complies with ASTM F2100 Level 1 standards, ensuring filtration efficiency and fluid resistance for low risk environments. It is manufactured under strict quality controls to meet medical device regulations and infection control standards. Check packaging for specific regulatory approvals such as FDA clearance or other region specific certifications.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to non ASTM rated masks, the Dukal 1541 provides documented performance compliance with recognized safety standards. Its three layer design balances breathability with reliable filtration, while the soft inner layer enhances wearer comfort. Competitor products may lack consistent filtration or may not include adjustable nosepieces, features that improve fit and protective effectiveness in this product.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Typical users include doctors, nurses, dental hygienists, laboratory technicians, and support staff who need basic respiratory and droplet protection. Common scenarios include patient consultations, minor clinical procedures, dental checkups, and use by visitors in controlled healthcare environments. It is also suitable for general use in public health settings where standard barrier protection is recommended.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Always ensure hands are clean before applying or removing the mask. Do not reuse or attempt to wash the mask, as its filtration capacity is intended for single use only. Store masks in their original packaging until needed, in a dry, cool environment. Rotate stock to use older inventory first and ensure masks remain within their expiration date.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use only. Do not use if packaging is damaged or if the mask appears compromised. Ensure proper fit to maximize protection. Follow facility infection control policies and applicable regulations when using and disposing of masks.
