The Problem

Lack of protection for medical professionals due to COVID-19 crisis

A PAPR is a type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ideally used by people working in hazardous environments, such as doctors and nurses working around COVID-19 patients.

There are currently not enough PAPRs to go around. As a result, hospital staff are reusing face masks as inadequate protection while in close quarters with patients.

 

Our Solution

Hospital administrators

• Recruit local volunteers and have them download the free plans

• Each hood must be sanitized before use by baking in an oven at 70º C for 20 minutes

• Wear a baseball cap under hood to keep in place

 

Volunteers

• Coordinate with the requesting agency ahead of time so you don’t make hoods that no one will use

• Follow the instructions closely

• Don’t substitute materials.  We’ve specifically chosen these particular materials. Varying materials could result in hoods being unusable
