High-quality mask delivers cleansed air directly to the wearer.

Mask, hose, belt, battery and disinfection unit - engineered as one system.

UV-C for disabling micro-organisms was discovered in the late 19th century. Niels Finsen used it to treat tuberculosis, earning the 1903 Nobel Prize for Medicine.
UV dose is expressed in J/m²: UV irradiance × exposure time. ProtectivAIR®'s sealed chamber delivers an effective UV-C dose to the air passing through it, in real-time.
"A higher UV dose could be delivered by increasing the intensity of UV light, increasing the exposure time, or both."
The UK's most secure and respected biosecurity laboratory. Results that speak for themselves.
Virus-infected air passed through the UV-C chamber. Compared UV on vs UV off vs placebo. In these tests, infection transmission was eliminated, with >99.9999% demonstrated reduction against airborne viruses and bacteria.
CE marked to EU PPE Regulation 2016/425. Tested to relevant clauses of EN 12942:1998 +A2:2008.
Formative and summative user studies. User acceptance testing via MD-TEC in a simulated real-world healthcare environment.
All test data refers to surrogate pathogen testing under controlled laboratory conditions at UKHSA. Claims represent laboratory test results and are not guarantees of performance in all real-world scenarios.
Evidenced to prevent infection transmission in rigorous tests at UKHSA Porton Down. To levels unachievable using conventional respiratory protective equipment.
Designed for comfort. Continuous flow of cool air to the face. Backed by User Acceptance Testing by healthcare workers in a simulated real-world environment.
As a reusable type of PPE, ProtectivAIR® offers an extremely fast Return on Investment.
Designed for the Circular Economy. Dramatically reduces the need for disposal of hazardous waste.
All benefits backed by a substantial body of evidence.
Frontline staff and healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Pandemic preparedness.
Transport workers in prolonged exposure to potentially infectious environments. Airlines, maritime.
Personnel exposed to biological pathogens, chemical warfare agents, toxic chemicals.
Infection control as a vital health and safety priority in commercial environments.
First responders and emergency teams needing maximum protection in high-risk environments.
