A disposable pathogen containment device including a support frame structure. An enclosure made of a substantially air-tight flexible sheet material is mounted to the support frame structure. At least an access port is disposed in the enclosure with at least one of the at least an access port being adapted for enabling transmission of air into the enclosure. A suction structure is mounted to the enclosure. The suction structure comprises a suction connecting port adapted for being connected to a suction source and a suction conduit connected to the suction connecting port. The suction conduit comprises at least a suction opening for removing air from inside the enclosure. The at least a suction opening is placed such that air containing pathogen emitted from a pathogen emitting source disposed inside the enclosure is drawn away from the at least an access port.

A collapsible air isolation apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a collapsible frame including a base and a set of rigid panel elements at least partially enclosing a volume of space, where the set of rigid panel elements is foldably hinged to at least one of the base or another of the rigid panel elements, and where at least one panel of the set of rigid panel elements comprises an open space for mounting a motor for moving air. The apparatus may include the motor for moving air configured to create a negative pressure within the volume of space of the collapsible frame.

Implementations of a respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprise a side surface, an upper surface, and one or more access openings and ventilation openings, and in some implementations may further comprise a lower surface. In some implementations, a method of using the respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprises positioning and enclosing a patient with an infectious disease in the respiratory enclosure to respiratorily isolate the patient and prevent the spread of the disease from the patient to healthcare providers or other persons.

The present invention includes an apparatus for transdermal treatments comprising: an openable enclosure for a subject in communication with three or more sources of treatment modalities selected from: a source of ozone; a source of steam, a source of CO.sub.2/Carbonic Acid; a source of Far Infrared; and a source of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), wherein each of the three or more sources is in communication with an interior of the openable enclosure to treat the subject transdermally.
