Transparent Elastomeric Respirator for Aerosol-based Protection

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Personal Protective Equipment

In brief

In times of crisis, diminishing supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals has forced both healthcare workers and the general population to reuse and clean PPE using anecdotal strategies which may weaken its effectiveness of preventing acquisition of airborne respiratory illnesses, such as COVID-19. There is therefore a great need to develop innovative measures to generate reusable PPE that can be safely cleaned and sterilized. A novel reusable injection molded respirator will be evaluated using qualitative and quantitative fit tests to assess overall fit and comfort.
