PPE designed by healthcare workers for healthcare workers. Optimised for infection control, comfortable to wear and allows communication between front-line workers and with patients.
Clinicians working with COVID-19 patients have been using personal protection equipment (PPE) that is not fit for purpose. Face masks protect only part of the face, limit communications and sustained wearing leads to pressure sores. Purified Air Powered Respirators (PAPRs) were designed to be used in industrial settings where the wearer is not expected to communicate with colleagues and patients.
