Read MoreCOVID-19 is a threat to the very people fighting it—nurses, doctors, and other first responders, who are exposed to virus-carrying droplets, or aerosols, from infected patients. Now, a team has developed two devices that could reduce their risks by sucking away infectious aerosols: a helmet to be worn by a patient, and a small tent in which a patient could be enclosed.
Read MoreThe helmet and tent, developed by a team at the University of Michigan and the engineering company FlexSys, effectively isolate the patient from the team treating them, reducing the risk of transmission of the virus and allowing the use of other therapies that have previously been seen as too risky.
Read MoreThe International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) has today described the development of two novel devices, a negative pressure procedural tent and a portable helmet device, as having the potential to protect healthcare workers and transform the care of COVID-19 patients across the globe.
Read MoreClinicians and researchers from the University of Michigan have published two proof-of-concept papers on new negative pressure environment devices that protect health care workers while treating patients with COVID-19.
