Physical fitness is important in the Corona era, as it seems that obesity and high blood pressure exacerbate the course of an illness in the event of an infection. So put your trainers on and go outside. This is fine with a mouth and nose protector if you know the important steps you must take. For example, how to deal with a moisture-saturated mask. Or how the mask should fit when doing sport. The easiest solution, by the way, is to opt for the disposable mouth and nose protective mask from Trotec – it always fits and is also a great fit in terms of quality, price and performance!
It only makes sense to use a mouth and nose protector (MNP), of course, if you have to do sport in an area where there are many people, such as the only green space in sight, the park, or when running through the city centre. As a matter of fact, even more relevant than the important and correct use of the protective mask is adhering to a minimum distance of 2 metres, according to current studies. Why so much? Because breathing heavily during a strenuous run can spread the infectious particles even further than usual.
Why should a moisture-saturated mouth and nose protector be changed?
It is recommended to change every MNP that has become imbued with moisture. Wearing a moisture-saturated mask strongly impairs self-protection, but also the protection of others. Because the mask becomes imbued with moisture much more quickly when you go jogging than when you take a stroll to the shops, you should take a substitute protector for when you are walking longer distances.
Can the mouth and nose protector be dangerous during sport?
The following rumour has already been refuted many times: Breathing masks are dangerous because carbon dioxide accumulates within them. And yet the material from which an MNP is made is not dense enough to retain the exhaled carbon dioxide. So continue to jog without any worries – even with a MNP!
Does a mouth and nose protector impair athletic performance?
At first glance, yes, because the use of a MNP naturally produces airways resistance. But there are also training programmes that work exactly with such airway resistance, because laboured breathing trains the respiratory muscles. You can even become fitter than before after training with a MNP for some time. In any case, a good tip is to measure and check your pulse now and then.
What should you pay attention to when doing sport with a mouth and nose protector?
The right fit is especially important when doing sport. Otherwise the air you breathe will either pass through the fabric or you will always have to correct the fit of the MNP. Quality masks such as those from Trotec therefore have flexible but firmly attached elastic bands and a nose clip on the upper edge. Both ensure the mask fits securely.
How is a mouth and nose protector disposed of and cleaned?
Once worn, the disposable mask from Trotec is simply disposed of in the normal waste. On the other hand, before first use and re-use, a self-sewn makeshift mouth and nose protector must either be washed in the washing machine at 90 °C or boiled in water (5 minutes) on the stove. These instructions for hygienic handling also apply to scarves, which citizens may still ‘wrap around themselves’ when using buses and trains and when shopping.
Just how effective are self-sewn masks?
So far there are hardly any scientific studies on the effectiveness of self-sewn mouth and nose covers. World Medical President Montgomery, for example, is more than sceptical and said in an interview with broadcaster Deutschlandfunk “… that a normal scarf or normal handkerchief does not stop the viruses, but they pass through the fabric unhindered when you cough.”
Medical mouth and nose protective masks from Trotec are distinguished by their quality, price and performance!
Maximum wearing comfort is guaranteed by the anatomically adjustable fit plus the mask edges made from soft non-woven material. The flexible rubber bands and individually adjustable nose clips also minimise the sensation of pressure during wear, thereby preventing the masks from becoming uncomfortable even when worn for a longer period.

Important notice on fake masks!
Ineffective and sometimes dangerous fake masks are flooding the market! Pay attention to certified quality to protect your health
The European market is currently flooded with virtually useless and sometimes dangerous FFP2, KN95 and mouth and nose protective masks. These type of masks are sometimes produced under hygienically catastrophic conditions and the elementary filter felt is often replaced by simple filter paper. The filter quality, airway resistance and microbiological condition (hygiene) cannot be checked by non-professionals! Only in the case of simple mouth and nose masks can a 4-point fake check – which we have documented here for you – at least detect an inferior and therefore dangerous mask with paper felt as a filter.

- Water test
- Filter layer test
