A cleanroom environment is extremely sensitive to contamination regardless of the precautions taken to ensure its integrity. Once the cleanroom is secure, the only threat of contamination can come from the outside world, which is why outside contaminants must be kept to a minimum.
Staff entering the cleanroom must adhere to an exacting protocol. Individuals need to be sanitized to avoid any particle and biological contamination within the cleanroom environment.
This is achieved by multiple strategies, such as the wearing of sterilized suits and shoes, and, even more importantly, cleanroom face masks.
Cleanroom face masks are specially designed masks worn over the face and nose to protect the wearer and ensure the sterility of the cleanroom.
Cleanroom face masks need to pass a more rigorous battery of tests than your average surgical masks. Aside from the pristine quality of the masks themselves, special attention is given to the packaging and construction to ensure an unequaled product that is sterile and as lint-free as possible.
Cleanroom face masks need to be worn in a particular way for maximum effectiveness.
