Advanced Wearable Respirator Mask for High Risk Environments
Novel Ultra-Effective Anti-Viral Respirators (UARs) for Healthcare Practitioners
Tags: City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Healthcare & Lifesciences
The ultra-effective anti-viral respirator (UAR) combines a graphene-based filter, a silicone face-piece, flexible tubes with one-way valves, a waist-attached filter part, and a UVC sterilization box for a comprehensive solution to PPE limitations. It offers wireless charging, long-duration use, and self-cleaning capabilities, addressing environmental concerns and enhancing comfort for healthcare workers (HCWs). This innovation is especially beneficial for HCWs in high-risk environments like hospitals and airports, providing a reusable, comfortable, and effective protection method against COVID-19 and other pathogens.
