ILC Dover Introduces “Patient Friendly” Respiratory Protection For Healthcare Market

Oct. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- Frederica, DE - ILC Dover, the company that manufactures spacesuits for NASA, announced the introduction of a premium line of aesthetically pleasing head covers to support their Sentinel XL ™ HP PAPR.  This product is the direct result of feedback from healthcare professionals – seeking an approach that would make PAPRs less intimidating and more “patient friendly”.

The new printed head cover offers the superior protection afforded by PAPRs while incorporating colorful prints developed to blend comfortably into a warm, patient-friendly health care environment.   This premium head cover also incorporates a unique interior chin panel that dramatically reduces glare on the visor, making charts and instruments easy to read.  With the continual stream of filtered air, the Sentinel XL ™ HP virtually eliminates the heat build up and breathing resistance associated with N95s.  

“ILC Dover is pleased to be able to respond to the needs of the healthcare community with this latest addition to the Sentinel PAPR line,” said Doug Durney, ILC Dover’s Director of Marketing and New Business Development.  “Superior protection in a comforting design is what customers have been requesting”.
