Product Detail

Surgical Mask Tie-On - Blue
A tie-on surgical mask designed for operating theatre use where secure, shift-length fixation is non-negotiable. Unlike earloop masks that rely on elastic tension behind the ears, the four fabric tie strings anchor the mask at the crown and base of the skull, distributing tension across the head rather than concentrating it on the ears. This eliminates ear fatigue during 4-8 hour procedures and prevents the mask from slipping when the wearer turns, bends, or speaks. The three-ply construction with meltblown filter core meets EN 14683 Type IIR requirements for bacterial filtration efficiency and splash resistance. Blue exterior provides visual contrast against white drapes and gowns, supporting the colour-coded protocols used in surgical settings. Supplied 50 pcs per box.
What Sets It Apart
Six reasons surgical teams specify tie-on over earloop
Four-Point Head Tie Fixation
Two ties secure at the crown of the head, two at the nape. This distributes retention force across the skull instead of the ears, eliminating the ear fatigue and pressure sores that drive OR staff to remove or adjust earloop masks mid-procedure.
Zero ear pressureShift-Length Secure Fit
Tied masks do not rely on elastic tension that degrades over hours of wear. The knot maintains consistent fixation through 4-8 hour procedures, including head movement, bending, and verbal communication, without the gradual loosening that compromises the facial seal on earloop masks.
No slippage · No re-tensioningEN 14683 Type IIR Splash Resistance
Rated Type IIR for high splash resistance, the meltblown filter layer achieves ≥98% bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) at 3.0 microns. The outer layer repels blood and bodily fluid splash at 120 mmHg pressure, meeting the surgical requirement for procedures with anticipated fluid exposure.
≥98% BFE · 120 mmHg splashPleated Three-Ply Construction
Outer spunbond repels fluid, middle meltblown provides the filtration barrier, inner spunbond absorbs exhaled moisture. Three horizontal pleats expand to cover chin-to-nose and collapse flat for storage. The nose wire conforms to the nasal bridge for a sealed upper edge.
3-layer · Full face coverageBlue Color for Surgical Protocol
The blue exterior provides visual contrast against white surgical drapes and gowns, allowing OR staff to immediately identify mask edges and confirm proper positioning. Blue is the standard surgical mask colour in most hospital procurement protocols worldwide.
Surgical blue · Visual contrastContamination-Safe Removal
Tie-on removal requires untying the bottom ties first, then the top ties, pulling the mask away from the face without touching the contaminated front surface. This is the protocol-trained removal method recommended in surgical infection control standards - unlike earloop removal which pulls the front across the face.

Application Scenarios
Where tie-on surgical masks are the correct specification
Operating Theatres
The primary use case. Long surgical procedures demand masks that stay sealed for hours without ear pressure. Tie-on fixation is the OR standard in most hospital systems.
Dental Surgery
Aerosol-generating procedures require Type IIR splash resistance. Tie straps accommodate the frequent head tilting and repositioning specific to dental work.
Emergency Departments
High-acuity environments where staff cannot adjust PPE between patients. The secure tie fixation maintains its seal through rapid movement and physical exertion.
Labour & Deliveryvery
Extended presence in the delivery room requires comfortable, secure respiratory protection. Tie-on masks accommodate different head sizes and hairstyles without pressure points.
Procurement Note
Tie-on masks are specified by hospitals that follow surgical infection control protocols requiring head-tied fixation. If your facility uses earloop masks for general ward use, tie-on is the upgrade path for OR and high-fluid-procedure areas. MOQ applies per carton (2,000 pcs). Custom box printing and private-label packaging available for qualifying orders. Request the EN 14683 test report and CE declaration of conformity before placing your first order.
Certifications & Manufacturerurer
Manufactured by Justsun (Xiamen Jiasheng Group), established 1997, specialising in CE/FDA-certified disposable medical supplies and nonwoven protective products. The production facility operates under ISO 13485 quality management for medical devices. EN 14683 Type IIR certification and CE declaration of conformity are available on request. Products are manufactured in a cleanroom environment with automated mask-making lines ensuring consistent pleat formation, nose wire placement, and tie attachment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose tie-on over earloop for surgical use?
Tie-on masks distribute retention force across the skull instead of the ears, eliminating ear fatigue during extended procedures. They maintain a more consistent facial seal because the ties do not stretch or loosen the way elastic earloops do. The removal protocol (untie bottom, then top) also avoids dragging the contaminated mask front across the face.
What is the difference between Type I and Type IIR?
Both achieve ≥95% BFE, but Type IIR adds splash resistance at ≥120 mmHg. Type I is suitable for general patient care; Type IIR is required for surgical and aerosol-generating procedures where blood or fluid splash is anticipated. This product is Type IIR.
Can we customise the packaging or colour?
Custom box printing and private-label packaging are available for qualifying orders. Standard colour is blue; green and white are also available. Contact us with your volume requirements and branding specifications.
What documentation is provided with each order?
Each shipment includes the EN 14683 Type IIR test report, CE declaration of conformity, ISO 13485 certificate, and packing list. Batch-specific certificates of analysis are available on request.
