Powered Air-Purifying Respirators

A Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the wearer from inhaling harmful airborne particles, gases, or vapors. Here’s how it works:

1. Air Intake: The PAPR has a battery-powered blower that draws in ambient air.
2. Filtration: The air is passed through filters or cartridges that remove contaminants.
3. Clean Air Supply: The purified air is then delivered to the user’s facepiece, hood, or helmet, providing a continuous flow of clean air.

PAPRs are commonly used in healthcare settings, industrial environments, and any situation where respiratory protection is needed. They are particularly beneficial because they provide a higher level of protection and comfort compared to non-powered respirators.
