3M™ Aura™ 1870+ N95 Health Care Respirator & Surgical Mask
Premium N95 Respiratory Protection for Healthcare Environments
The 3M™ Aura™ 1870+ N95 Health Care Particulate Respirator and Surgical Mask combines N95 particulate filtration with a comfortable, three-panel design developed for healthcare and professional environments.
Designed by 3M for use by healthcare personnel, the 1870+ provides a high level of filtration against specified non-oil-based particulates while also offering fluid resistance for protection against splashes and sprays of blood and other infectious materials when used as a surgical mask. The product is NIOSH approved as an N95 respirator and is FDA cleared for use as a surgical mask in the United States.
The distinctive 3M™ Aura™ three-panel design allows greater facial movement while talking and is designed to accommodate a broad range of face shapes and sizes. Its flat-fold construction makes the respirator convenient to store and individually packaged units help support hygienic handling.

The respirator should always be selected and used according to the specific workplace hazard, applicable regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions.
Designed for Healthcare Professionals
The 3M™ Aura™ 1870+ is specifically positioned for healthcare applications where respiratory protection and fluid resistance are important considerations.
Potential healthcare applications identified by 3M include:
- Operating rooms

When used as a surgical mask, the 1870+ is designed to provide resistance to fluid splashes and spatter. 3M reports >99% bacterial filtration efficiency according to ASTM F2101 and the highest level of fluid resistance under ASTM F1862 at 160 mmHg.
Comfortable Three-Panel Design
The 3M™ Aura™ 1870+ is designed around the user’s facial movement and comfort.
Its three-panel construction allows the respirator to flex with facial movements while talking. The sculpted upper panel provides additional space around the nose and eye area, while the embossed top panel is designed to direct exhaled air away from the nose panel, helping reduce eyewear fogging.
A soft nose foam and smooth inner material provide comfortable contact with the skin, while the adjustable nose clip helps support a secure seal.

Each respirator is individually packaged, helping protect the product from contamination before use.
The flat-fold configuration also makes the 3M™ Aura™ 1870+ convenient to store in PPE cabinets, medical supply areas, emergency-response kits and healthcare facilities.

Important Safety Information
The 3M™ Aura™ 1870+ must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s User Instructions and applicable workplace respiratory-protection requirements.
An N95 respirator helps reduce exposure to specified airborne particles but does not provide protection against gases or vapours. 3M specifically states that the 1870+ should not be used for gases or vapours such as certain anaesthetic gases or sterilant vapours.
Proper respirator selection, fit, training and use are essential for effective respiratory protection. Always verify that this product is appropriate for the intended application before purchase or use.
Product approvals and regulatory requirements may differ by country. Buyers should verify local regulatory requirements and the exact product packaging supplied in their market.
