One of the main problems of hoods and central ventilation devices for dental offices and clinics is the lack of fluid suction between the patient and the dentist during the spraying of the aerosol and droplet. This disclosure provides a solution to build a new device using technologies that follow the principles of ergonomics in designing and using the calculated discharge system to limit the movement of the aerosol and the droplet. This device proposes an isolation process whereby fluid transfer, along with the contaminated particles attached to the negative ions, are trapped in the chamber and transfer to the filter due, to prevent diffusion to the environment. This device also utilizes and control of optimal parameters of heat and light and negative ions, ultraviolet and ozone to sterilize and eliminate viruses and bacteria.

A personal protection system for providing a sterile barrier around medical/surgical personnel. The system may include a head unit over which surgical garment such as a hood or a toga may be suspended over. The surgical garment may include a sterile material and a shield configured to be disposed in front of the wearers face when disposed over the head unit. The shield may comprise an anti-reflective coating configured to reduce the glare observed by the individual through said shield. The head unit may comprises a light assembly that is disposed on the wearers side of the surgical garment, and an inner surface of said surgical garment may comprise a light reflective material configured to reduce the amount of light emitted from said light assembly that is reflected back toward the individual.

A modular respiratory protection system comprises a frame defining an opening configured to expose a portion of a user's head. A blower is configured to draw air through an air filter and through a portion of the frame. A head protection element is releasably coupled to the frame and the head protection element is configured to cover the opening.

A helmet includes a helmet body and a gas detection and purification device. The gas detection and purification device in includes a body, a purification module, a gas-guiding unit, a gas detection module, and a power module. The gas detection module calculates the gas detection data obtained by the gas detection module so as to control the gas-guiding unit to start or stop operation based on the gas detection data. When the gas-guiding unit is in operation, the gas-guiding unit guides the gas into the body and to pass through the purification module for being filtered and purified to become a purified gas, and the gas-guiding unit discharges the purified gas out of the body to the nose portion, or the mouth portion, or both the nose portion and the mouth portion of the wearer for providing the wearer with the purified gas to breath.

A system including a head-mounted device having a face shield; a respirator coupled to or embodied in the head mounted device; a light having a light intensity; a light detector, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the at least one light detector that receive from the light detector data indicting a type and intensity of light, and determine that the light matches a particular type of light and whether it exceeds a threshold, and on the basis of this determination, modifies the intensity of the light.

A blower/filtration unit for a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) includes a motor configured to operate according to a motor control algorithm. The blower/filtration unit also includes a first pressure sensor positioned at an inlet of the blower/filtration unit. The blower/filtration unit also includes a second pressure sensor positioned at an outlet of the blower/filtration unit. The blower/filtration unit also includes a motor controller that executes the motor control algorithm. The motor control algorithm determines a motor speed required to maintain an airflow rate based on signals from the first and second pressure sensors.

A personal protection system for providing a sterile barrier around medical/surgical personnel. The system includes a helmet over which a hood or a toga suspended. A microphone, an amplifier and a speaker are mounted to the helmet. Speech of the individual wearing the personal protection system is picked up by the microphone and amplified speech is broadcast by the speaker. The speaker is outwardly directed so as to broadcast the speech out through the hood or toga covering the helmet.

Implementations described herein include surgical helmet assemblies that have a helmet enclosure shaped to encircle a head of a user. The helmet enclosure retains a fan and includes a brow bar portion at a front of the helmet enclosure that is shaped to extend along a brow or a forehead of the user and having a light positioned therein. The helmet enclosure also includes a stabilizer extending downward from the helmet enclosure in front of the ears of a user, a face shield that is transparent and coupleable to at least the brow bar portion, a headband shaped to extend across an occiput region of the user's head, and a surgical garment for covering at least the head and shoulders of a user in use. The brow bar portion includes vents disposed therein to direct airflow pushed through the helmet enclosure from the fan onto the user. The face shield is coupleable to the helmet enclosure by one or more of a hook and loop fastener on the helmet enclosure or the stabilizer and a post protruding from the brow bar portion.

A snore blocking helmet for comfortably minimizing snore impact on others includes a helmet body having a front portion, a rear portion, a right portion, a left portion, a top portion and a bottom perimeter forming an inside. The front portion has a visor aperture and a plurality of vent apertures extending through to the inside. A visor is rotatably coupled to the helmet body to cover and alternatively uncover the visor aperture. A plurality of fans is coupled within the inside adjacent the plurality of vent apertures. A control housing is coupled through the front portion. A plurality of controls is coupled to the control housing and is in operational communication with the plurality of fans. A power source is coupled to the control housing and is in operational communication each of the plurality of controls and the plurality of fans.

A surgical helmet assembly including a ventilation system for circulating air around the head of a user. The surgical helmet assembly includes a surgical helmet including a brow bar to be positioned around the head of the user and a chin bar extending from the surgical helmet to be positioned in front of the chin of the user. The chin bar and brow bar include an airflow channel in fluid communication with a fan at the rear of the surgical helmet. The fan generates a flow of air from an airflow inlet at the rear of the surgical helmet through the airflow channel in the chin bar to an airflow outlet in the chin bar and past a user's face in an upward direction and through the airflow channel in the brow bar to an airflow outlet in the brow bar and upward over the user's head.
