Abstract: Considering the current situation fighting against the COVID-19 and the demand for medical masks in China, the technical standards, preparation technology, protective effectiveness and development of medical masks were summarized in this paper. The advantages of various medical masks in protective performance were also analyzed and compared,then the reasonable suggestions on the application scope of masks were proposed. Results show that GB 19083—2010 medical protective masks with electret treatment have the highest filtering efficiency compared to other types of medical masks, which is not less than 95%. It is suitable for the protection of medical personnel and related staff in the department of infectious diseases or virus. However, there are still some problems such as poor air permeability and no antibacterial property. In the analysis, the new type of medical masks with high antibacterial, high resistance to virus and comfortable wearing are the most desirable properties in the near future.

Key words: medical masks, technical standards, preparation technology, protective effectiveness, application scope
