Abstract

Since the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak, health-care workers (HCWs) have had to create personal protective equipment (PPE) due to the worldwide demand and thus ensuing shortage. To address the dearth of available PPE, HCWs have quickly explored options to repurpose in-hospital equipment to provide alternative PPE to caregivers. We report the modification of a Stryker T5TM and Stryker Flyte® personal protection surgical helmets as a powered air-purifying respirator.
