DLC Cuff Systems
Full-face, loose-fitting respiratory protection with fast donning, no fit testing, no seal checks, and cool positive-pressure comfort for real-world daily use.
Works with facial hair, eyeglasses, hearing aids, varied face shapes, and movement.
Annual fit testing; ongoing seal dependence.
Breathing resistance, heat, moisture - wear users down over time.
Facial hair, glasses, skin sensitivity, and face shape - complicate use.
More steps, more friction, and more burden on the program.
N95s may be familiar, but familiarity is not the same as practicality. In real-world use, they can create recurring burdens: fit testing, seal checks, facial pressure, breathing resistance, heat buildup, moisture buildup, fogging, and inconsistent comfort across users.
When protection depends on fit, tolerance, and perfect technique every time, the burden does not stop with the mask. It affects workflow, compliance, training, deployment, and the overall respiratory protection program.
Don and doff in seconds with no bands, no fit testing, and no seal checks.
No breathing resistance, no facial pressure points, no trapped heat or moisture during regular or extended shifts.
Integrated coverage for the eyes, nose, and mouth in a more complete protective configuration.
Works across a broad range of users with facial hair, eyeglasses, hearing aids, varied face shapes, skin sensitivities.

The DLC Cuff is designed around the realities that make respiratory protection succeed or fail in everyday use. It combines full-face coverage, cool positive-pressure airflow, and fast, simple donning in a system that avoids the fit-based limitations of N95s.
Instead of asking users to tolerate pressure, heat, and seal dependence, the DLC Cuff offers a more wearable and more practical path to higher protection.
A more complete answer to the comfort, workflow, and protection problems
that make N95 programs harder to sustain.
Protection only works well when people can actually use it well. The DLC Cuff is designed to reduce the friction points that often come with N95-based programs while delivering broader coverage, easier wearability, and a more consistent user experience.
| ITEM | CAPR DLC | N95 |
|---|---|---|
| Fit Testing | NO | All Wearers, Every Year |
| Seal Checks | NO | Every Donning |
| Donning Speed | FASTER | Fast |
| Facial Hair | OKAY | NO - won't pass fit test |
| Eyeglasses | YES - No Fogging | NO - fog and fit interference |
| Breathing Resistance | NONE - Positive Pressure | Always - Negative Pressure |
| Heat/Moisture Buildup | NO - Positive Pressure | YES - Negative Pressure, recycling |
| Full Face Protection | YES - Eyes, Nose, Mouth | NO - Eyes exposed - Need separate shield |
| Simple Respiratory Program | YES - One Model Fits All | NO - Multiple vendors, models, sizes |
When exposure risk is meaningful, settling for minimum-recommended protection is not always the best answer. The DLC Cuff combines integrated full-face coverage with high-efficiency filtration and a higher assigned protection factor than N95s, while also removing the fit-based limitations that can reduce real-world consistency.
The result is a system designed to help more users achieve strong protection more reliably, without the repeated burden of fit testing and seal checking.
The DLC Cuff uses purified airflow to support natural, easy breathing while helping reduce lens fogging, heat buildup, and moisture accumulation. That means less fatigue, less discomfort, and greater tolerance during regular and extended wear.
Respiratory protection does not succeed on performance alone. It must also work within the realities of onboarding, communication, movement, procurement, storage, deployment, and daily use. The DLC Cuff helps simplify those realities with a more user-friendly experience and a less complicated support model than fit-dependent alternatives.
The DLC Cuff is not only about better wearability and stronger protection.
It can also improve the economics of the respiratory protection program by eliminating annual fit testing and
reducing the complexity of supporting many users with many fit-dependent variables
No annual fit testing. No repeated seal-check burden.
One simpler path across the organization.
The DLC Cuff System is available in standard and hard hat configurations,
with sizing options designed to support all users.
