What Are the Types of Mechanical Filters Used in Healthcare?

There are several types of mechanical filters commonly used in healthcare settings:
- HEPA Filters: High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are used to remove 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger in size. These are commonly used in ventilation systems and isolation rooms.
- Membrane Filters: These filters are used in dialysis and intravenous (IV) therapy to remove contaminants from fluids.
