Health and wellness care providers who, have all been severely impacted due to the COVID-19 outbreak, could be some of the first to safely re-open their practices with improved safety thanks to innovative products launched by PURA AIR.
PURA AIR, a clean air development company, is excited to announce the launch of an innovative new line of solutions that could help dentists, medical practices and care homes to once again operate safely and welcome the public in the face of COVID-19 concerns. The innovative designs for the products were inspired by Dr. Wilson J. Kwong and a team of industry leaders who saw many critical health care operations unable to help their clients amid the global novel coronavirus outbreak. They were inspired to find a solution to the challenges presented by social distancing practices and the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The solution goes beyond and addresses other viruses, spores, bacteria, odours, particulates, chemicals and moulds. PURA AIR’s line of solutions was designed by industry thought leaders across a variety of sectors, including medical, industrial air cleaning, and mechanical contracting. The solutions are currently patent-pending, but the devices could be the newest fixture in dental, healthcare and care homes as early as Summer 2020.
“It’s now more critical than ever before for businesses to protect their clients,” said Fiesal Nasser, President of PURA AIR. “With solutions like PURA AIR in place, patients and clients are protected from the risks we cannot see. We anticipate that hospitals, healthcare institutions, medical labs, dentists, chiropractors, doctor offices, and elderly care homes could benefit from this new technology to help reduce the risk to their communities. Our efforts in developing these systems will also help many businesses get back to work and will add a layer of protection.”
The devices range in size and purpose, however, the core of all the solutions is the removal of airborne contaminants with a new approach to air filtration[1] and purification. In addition to capturing and filtering airborne particulate, the devices are also equipped to then eradicate the airborne contaminants at a molecular level with UV and medical-grade HEPA filtration so the air can be safely recirculated as 99.99% pure air.
One product that is poised to change the way dentistry looks today is the PURA AIR Purification system with Localized Extractor. This system addresses acute challenges for up-close dental procedures such as dental cleanings and fillings which will create aerosols–including debris and microorganisms that can inadvertently be passed along to others breathing the same air.
These very small particles, ranging from harmless to highly infectious, can remain suspended in the air for many hours. When inhaled, their small size allows penetration to the lower respiratory tract where the risk of infection is greatly increased. In addition to this product, PURA AIR has also a line of 3 other products that could be retrofitted to a variety of other businesses.
“At some point, we will return to a new normal. We can all expect to be more sensitive to being around others, to receiving medical services. Fears we have never been forced to consider, certainly not at this scale,” said Dr Wilson J. Kwong. Learn more about PURA AIR and its line of solutions at www.puraairpurification.com/.
