Face mask

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the medical condition of a patient appearing to have a "masked face", see Hypomimia.

Strictly, the expression face mask is tautological and means "mask", because masks by definition go on the face; but it is sometimes used to mean:

Surgical mask
Respirator
Among divers, diving mask
Face mask (gridiron football), the metal grid face protecter on his helmet, and the penalizable foul of grasping it during play
