POWERED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR

Abstract:

An air purification system is provided. A visor portion is configured to secure to a head of a user and maintain a field of vision for the user. An air delivery portion is configured to draw in air from an external environment. A disposable barrier hood is configured to cover at least the visor portion. The visor portion defines a breathing outlet to exhaust the drawn-in air in proximity to a breathing area for consumption by the user. The disposable barrier hood fluidly isolates the breathing area from the external environment.
