DuPont™ Tyvek® Supports In-Hospital Decontamination of Used N95 Respirator Masks
2020-05-23
The rapid increase in COVID-19 cases around the world has created a severe shortage of critically needed personal protective equipment (PPE), especially N95 respirator masks. While these respirators were originally designed to be used only once for a single patient, these shortages have driven health care providers and frontline workers to desperate circumstances in which they are reusing or self-sanitizing respirators. News stories have even shown examples of workers hiding supplies of respirators in their lockers and using Lysol® spray in desperate measures to protect themselves.
