The Company
In the current context of shortage of masks, in record time, we have created medpack: distributor of protective masks in Italy.
Our partner factories with which we have been working for more than 10 years are mobilizing today to diversify their production and create protective masks type FFP1 3-layer “surgical” and type FFP2 / KN95, as well as masks in fabric: cotton and composite.
Of course, we want to help by using our network and logistics platform in order to distribute masks to businesses and people in need.
What you need to know about FFP2 Medpack
MEDPACK masks comply with a recent study published in Jama – The Journal of the American Medical Association – which compared the filtering capacity of different types of masks: cloth or surgical masks had a capacity to contain viral particles ranging from 26% to 79%, while Ffp2 masks had a filtering capacity of 98.4%. According to the researchers, if both the Sars Cov2-positive and uninfected person wear well-fitting Ffp2 masks, the maximum risk of infection after 20 minutes is just over one per thousand, even at a shorter distance. Even if personal protective equipment is worn incorrectly, the probability of infection increases to around 4%, although the risk is still much lower than with surgical masks.

Filtering power and safety
Unlike surgical masks, Ffp2 masks have a much higher filtering power, and not only for the wearer. Although they are disposable, they have a standardised filtering efficiency according to EN 149:2001+A1:2009.
Not only COVID
MED PACK health masks are not only an essential tool in the medical and health sector: wherever they are used, from the doctor to the sportsman, from the soldier to the cleaner, these quality devices save our lives.
Guide to prevention
Before wearing a mask, clean your hands with alcohol-based sanitising gel or soap and water.
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask and ensure that there are no gaps between your face and the mask.
Avoid touching the mask during the use; if you do IT, clean your hands with sanitising gel or soap and water.
Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not reuse disposable masks.
To remove the mask: remove from behind (do not touch the front of the mask); dispose of it immediately in a closed bin; clean your hands with sanitising gel or soap and water.
