Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)
Powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) is a medical protective equipment used to purify breathing air of the wearer. Commonly, PAPR consists of full-face mask in the form of hood. The mask is isolated from surrounding air and provides breathing air through a dedicated breathing tube. The air intake system takes ambient air that is contaminated, and removes the contaminations through filtering process before being supplied to the user. PAPRs are sometimes called positive-pressure masks, blower units, or just blowers.
