A medical mask, often called a surgical mask, is designed to protect against large droplets and splashes, offering basic filtration for the wearer and reducing the spread of infectious agents. An N95 mask provides a higher level of protection, filtering out at least 95% of airborne particles, including very small particles and aerosols, making it more effective in preventing inhalation of harmful airborne contaminants.
