POWERED AIR-PURIFUING RESPIRATOR FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
PAPR
Respiratory Protection
Healthcare Prof ssionals are exposed to airborne hazards regularly in their work-place. It is important to keep our HCPs protected from airborne contaminants so that they can work with confidence and comfort.
Exposure to airborne contaminants happens whenever
an HCP interacts with or treats a patient carrying infectious diseases like; COVID, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, SARS, Influenza (flu), etc.
There are two types of respiratory protective devices:
Negative-pressure respirators, like N95 masks, require the wearer to pull air through the filter material using their lung power leading to fatigue, sweating, and stress
Negative-pressure respirators, like N95 masks, require the wearer to pull air through the filter material using their lung power leading to fatigue, sweating, and stress
A Positive-pressure respirator, like Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR), uses a battery- operated blower to pull air through a HEPA filter and provide it to the wearer in a breathing zone. This continuous flow of purified air makes it easy to breathe, and the cooling effect makes it comfortable for the wearer to work for long hours without sweating or fogging of visors.
