Abstract:

A surgical helmet system and a method of regulating the system. The system including a helmet and garment. The helmet comprising a module, a sensor, and a control processor. The control processor in communication with the module and the sensor, and is configured to selectively energize the module based on an input from the sensor. The garment comprises a face shield and is configured to be removably secured to the helmet so that the face shield is positioned forward of the helmet. The method comprises a measuring a temperature and selectively energizing the module based on the measured temperature. The method may further comprise selectively energizing the module for a time period that is proportional to a difference between a measured temperature and a desired temperature.
