What Is a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)?

Used in a wide range of industries and workplace settings, a PAPR is a high-tech respiratory protection system that uses positive pressure to direct pure, clean, filtered air to the user's mouth. More specifically, a PAPR is designed to protect workers from contaminated air and can be even more effective in protecting against pollutants and pathogens than an N95 or similar mask.

PAPRs are also modular and customizable, allowing them to be used as needed in different environments. Though far from a complete and comprehensive list, a PAPR system may be used in healthcare, medical, and industrial settings, including welding, painting, and surgery. They may also be useful in protecting against COVID-19 and other airborne viruses.

In addition to PAPRs and related products, Zoro stocks thousands of personal protective equipment (PPE) items for your safety and convenience, including N95 masks, gloves, protective clothing, and more. Plus, we always make the shopping experience as fast and seamless as possible with free shipping on orders over $50 for registered users, Net 30 payment terms for qualifying customers, and an unparalleled customer service experience.
