A surgical face mask with ties is a protective covering worn over the nose and mouth, commonly used in healthcare settings and by the general public for infection control. Unlike masks with ear loops, these masks have long ties or strings on each side that can be tied securely behind the head or around the ears to ensure a snug fit. This design helps maintain the mask in place during activities, such as surgical procedures, where prolonged wear and secure fit are essential for effective protection against airborne particles and droplets.
