The Versatile Papr Respirator

January 8, 2025

The papr respirator is the most versatile PAPR on the market lending itself to a wide variety of industries and applications. The system includes a waist unit holding the fan, filter, and battery; a hose connecting the waist unit to the face piece; and a mask that can be sized and fitted for individual wearers.

While the papr respirator is ideal for papr respirator workers during pandemics, it can be used by emergency first responders, military personnel, and public health professionals in many hazardous situations including natural disasters, mass casualties, and acts of terror. The papr respirator is also useful for laboratory work in biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) labs.

What is a PAPR Respirator? Benefits and Best Uses

Choosing the right PAPR system depends on factors like the workplace and duration of use. A risk assessment conducted by a qualified safety manager can help you determine which components are required for your specific hazards and what options are available to meet the specialized requirements of your environment. ILC Dover offers a variety of PAPR configurations to meet the needs of diverse environments and hazards.

While there is limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of the papr respirator in preventing transmission of the coronavirus, it has become a standard component of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers during the pandemic. Field observational studies do not show a significant difference in the rate of infection for airway proceduralists wearing PAPR compared to those wearing other compliant PPE. Further pragmatic studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of PAPRs in reducing infection rates for HCWs.
