Healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator Market To Grow US$ 640 million By 2028 With CAGR 10%
The Centre for Disease Control defines a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) as a respirator that uses a blower to force air through filter canisters or cartridges into the breathing zone of the user through a tight-fitting half or full face-piece or a loose-fitting face-piece, helmet, or hood. Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted to patients and other healthcare workers by symptomatic and asymptomatic healthcare workers. A healthcare worker using a loose-fitting PAPR throughout the pre-symptomatic/ or asymptomatic phase or after returning to work following recovery may become an infection source.
