A Surgical Face Mask is a disposable, loose fitting, important medical device typically used to protect the wearer from large-particle droplets, splashes and sprays. Surgical Masks are mostly made from non-woven fabric and varieties of masks are available consisting of single layer or multiple layers (up to five-layer form) of flat or pleated fabric. Surgical face masks are used as a protective barrier to prevent cross-contamination among patients and surgeons. A surgical mask is intended to be worn by health professionals during surgery and at other times to filter the bacteria in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose. This prevents the spread of infectious respiratory secretions from wearer to others. With the development of medical facilities and the growth in the health care facilities network, a wide range of products both medicines and non-drug items such as surgical masks are required as consumables in hospitals and basic health units. In view of the ever growing market demand of Surgical Masks and the outbreak of corona virus recently, the proposed Surgical Face Mask making unit provides a lucrative business opportunity for entrepreneurs to cater to the market demand successfully provided that the business venture maintains quality and competitive pricing.
