powered air-purifying respirators
Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) are advanced protective devices that use a battery-powered fan to draw contaminated air through filters, removing harmful particles, gases, or vapors before delivering clean air to the user. They provide a reliable respiratory barrier, often with a facepiece or hood, and are commonly used in healthcare, industrial, and hazardous environments. PAPRs are more comfortable than traditional masks, offering improved airflow and reduced breathing effort, while ensuring the wearer’s respiratory safety against airborne hazards.
