From Their Protection

The Challenge

Laboratory and pharmaceutical environments expose personnel to biological agents, hazardous particulates, aerosols, and airborne contaminants, making reliable respiratory protection essential.

Biological hazards, controlled processes, varying protection needs, and strict compliance requirements can add complexity to laboratory and pharmaceutical operations, while comfort, visibility, mobility, and ease of use remain critical for researchers and production teams.

1

Complex PPE Requirements

Fit testing, multiple systems, and varying protection levels add complexity to everyday care.

2

Comfort & Mobility

PPE can create heat, fatigue, restricted movement, and discomfort during long shifts.

3

Limited Communication & Connection

Noise, muffled speech, and covered facial cues can make it harder to hear, understand, and connect with patients and colleagues.

4

Protection vs. Efficiency

Research teams are often forced to balance protection, comfort, communication, and workflow efficiency.

How it Works

1
Contaminated Air

Contaminated outside air is drawn into the helmet by the motor and directed through the filter.

2
Filtered Air

The filtered air is then directed down across the user’s face through 10 airflow openings located beside the helmet LEDs.

3
Source Control

Source control filters the wearer’s exhaled breath through the rear cuff filter, helping protect those around them.
