Protection Across Your Industry

Preoperative

The Preparation

Preoperative

The Preparation

Protect staff, patients, and equipment by supporting respiratory protection, source control, and contact protection, reducing contamination risk and supporting surgical readiness.

Intraoperative

The Procedure

Intraoperative

The Procedure

Protect patients and staff with respiratory, contact, and splash protection, source control, enhanced illumination, and clear, wide visibility, reducing exposure risk while supporting comfort and mobility in the OR.

Postoperative

The Cleanup & Recovery

Postoperative

The Cleanup & Recovery

Supports respiratory and contact protection for staff and patients through source control during patient handoff, recovery-related care, and early room turnover—reducing exposure risk during patient movement and cleanup.

Reprocessing

The Decontamination

Reprocessing

The Decontamination

Protects sterile processing departments with respiratory and splash protection during decontamination and reprocessing tasks, reducing exposure risk from contaminated instruments, cleaning-related droplets or aerosols, and contact with bioburden.

Three Systems PNG

Today's ORs have

Outgrown

Traditional Surgical Protection

The Challenge

Surgical environments expose OR teams to airborne contaminants, fluid hazards, and infection risks, making reliable respiratory and surgical protection essential.

Fit-testing requirements, multiple PPE systems, varying protection levels, and complex surgical workflows can add complexity to daily operations, while comfort, visibility, mobility, communication, and efficiency remain critical challenges for surgical teams.

1

Multiple Respirators. More Complexity.

N95s, PAPRs, surgical helmet systems, fit-testing programs, backup equipment.

2

Comfort vs. Protection

Heat, breathing resistance, weight, restricted movement and long procedures.

3

Limited Visibility & Communication

Fogging, limited field of view, noise and additional equipment around the clinician.

4

Protection That Falls Short

Surgical PPE has to consider the wearer, the patient and the surrounding team—not just one individual.

Redefine Your OR's Safety

CAPR® SPS

The Future of Surgical Protection

PRS Hood w Light- Berk

The Solution

CAPR® SPS redefines what surgical protection can be. Engineered for the demands of today’s OR, it brings advanced protection, all-day comfort, and streamlined performance together in one complete system.

By reducing the heat, bulk, communication barriers, and complexity associated with traditional surgical PPE, CAPR® SPS helps surgical teams move, communicate, and perform with greater confidence, while enhancing protection for both staff and patients.

1

Maximum Safety

Integrated respiratory, source control and fluid barrier protection that replaces the need for an N95, PAPR, or SHS.

2

Superior Comfort

Cool airflow, wide visibility, lightweight design and freedom of movement.

3

Enhanced Convenience

Universal fit and reduced dependence on multiple PPE programs.

4

Greater Cost Efficiency

Fewer systems to purchase, train on, store and manage.

CAPR® SPS System

Respiratory Protection Just Got Easier

MAXAIR®’s new CAPR® Surgical Protection System (SPS) combines our new CAPR® IR helmet, sterile hood, and optional integrated light and peel-away lens accessories to deliver superior protection and unmatched comfort.

CAPR® SPS Safety

Three Systems. Reimagined as One.

One streamlined system that brings together the protective capabilities of an N95, PAPR, and surgical helmet system, delivering safety without the complexity of multiple PPE systems.

The New Standard of Protection

Surgical Safety

MAXAIR® CAPR® IR and PR systems simplify surgical respiratory protection with one versatile helmet platform and multiple headcover configurations. From full-face to extended coverage, CAPR® delivers advanced respiratory, contact, and splash protection designed to adapt across a wide range of operations.
One Versatile System

A single helmet supports multiple headcover configurations across operation needs.

Flexible Coverage

Options range from full-face to full-body respiratory, contact, and splash protection.

Less Complexity

Streamlined protection helps simplify PPE selection, training, and daily workflows.

The New, Fully-Integrated

CAPR® IR Helmet

MAXAIR®’s new fully-integrated CAPR® IR helmet is a base option for the CAPR® SPS. Its design enables faster donning, easier movement, and greater comfort.

NIOSH Approved Protection

The CAPR® IR is a loose-fitting PAPR that provides NIOSH approved respiratory protection to every team member.

Fully-Integrated Helmet

CAPR® IR eliminates external power cords, batteries, belts, cumbersome hoses, and blower units, making safety more comfortable than ever before.

Simple Design for Rapid Response

The system’s simple, integrated design enables users to assemble and don their equipment quickly and easily—faster than ever before.

CAPR IR PNG

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.

Source Control

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