Genuine 3M N95 respirators — shop by model number. The models healthcare and industry actually specify, all NIOSH-approved and sourced through an MDEL-licensed Canadian distributor (#17341): the 3M 1870+ Aura healthcare surgical N95 (the hospital standard, from $23.99), the 3M 1860 and small-size 1860S cupped surgical respirators, the 3M 9210+ Aura flat-fold, and the 3M 8210 industrial workhorse for dust and particulates.
Buying genuine matters: counterfeit 3M respirators remain a real problem in Canada, entering through marketplaces and gray-market importers — a licensed distributor with lot traceability is how institutions avoid them, and 3M's own SafeGuard portal verifies any box's authenticity code. Match the model to the exposure: fluid-resistant surgical models (1870+, 1860) for healthcare; the 8210 for industrial particulates. N95s only protect when they seal — for workplaces with formal respirator programs, see our mask fit testing services. Case pricing available, fast Ontario shipping.
