The New Standard in OR Safety:

Advancing Patient Outcomes, Staff Well-Being, and Operational Efficiency

Surgical teams have had to rely on outdated and cumbersome PPE for too long.
CAPR® SHS enhances every aspect of OR functionality—
elevating patient and staff protection, ensuring all-day comfort, and optimizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Superior Visibility
& Comfort

  • Wide Field of View – Unobstructed visibility of the entire surgical field
  • Lightweight & Balanced – Maintains natural feel of unrestricted movement – even during extended procedures
  • Cool & Compact Design – Ample headroom and Non-claustrophobic but great for working in close proximity

Optimized Performance & Protection

  • Effortless Breathing – Adjustable airow for customizable cooling
  • Quiet Operation – Enhances communication in the OR
  • High Filtration of Surgical Smoke – Effectively reduces exposure to smoke particulates
  • High-Definition Non-Glare Light – Large pattern with two precise illumination settings - Light is optional for each Helmet
  • Optional 2X Peel-Away Lens – Reduces risk while saving time

Advanced
Safety Features

  • Sterile Hood with reduced CO2 buildup – Sealed breathing area for consistent clean air
  • Secure Hood-to-Helmet Attachment – Quick, reliable, and stays in place
  • Level 4 Fluid Barrier – ANSI/AAMI PB70:2022 highest-rated fluid protection

Cost Efficiency
& Effectiveness

  • 3-in-1 System: CAPR SHS replaces need for an SHS, N95, and a PAPR
    • Greater protection and comfort vs SHS
    • No fit testing, higher protection and no side effects vs N95
    • Meets or exceeds performance of other PAPRs with more comfort and mobility
  • Options As Needed:
    • Surgical Helmet Light – optional for any CAPR SHS Helmet
      • 10-19 Hour Runtime; lightweight @ 0.5 oz.
      • Uniform sport pattern; No Glare
    • 2-Layer, Peel-Away Lens
      • Fast and easy one-handed removal of layers
      • Easy to don; optional for any Hood, as needed

FDA 510(K) with NIOSH1 Protection

  • 99.99% Incoming Filtration – Blocks particulates, viruses, and contaminants
  • 96% OPR2 : Source Control Filtration – Patient and surrounding protection
  • APF 1000 (Assigned Protection Factor) – Highest OSHA rating for PAPRs
  • No N95, No Fit-Testing Required – Eliminates logistical complexity and costs
  • Universal Fit – No need for backup PAPRs for those who fail fit testing

1. NOSH certified and approved under 42 CFR part 84
2. Measurement of Outward particulate reduction Technical bulletin P/N 04123045

NOTE: Use of the Helmet Light and Peel-Away Lens negates the NIOSH approval of the PRS configuration. Our internal engineering test data on file demonstrates use of either or both has no impact on any performance and safety criteria in any testing used for NIOSH approval.
NIOSH submission for approval of both is planned for 2025.

One System

Complete Safety, Simplicity, and Comfort

How CAPR® SHS Works

CAPR® SHS eliminates fit-testing as with mask respirators, and bulky air tubes and external blowers of conventional PAPRs;
the entire airflow pathway is within the CAPR® Helmet.
  • Air Intake & Filtration
  • Outside toxic air is drawn in through the PAPR100-N Filter, removing airborne contaminants with 99.99% efficiency.
  • Airflow Circulation
  • Clean air moves through the system’s motor and flows through a laminar airflow path to the front air diffusers.
  • Cooling & Clarity
  • The diffused clean air flows in front of the face, ensuring effortless breathing, cooling comfort, no CO₂ buildup, and a fog-free lens.
  • Source Control
  • As clean air mixes with potentially contaminated exhalation, it is directed through the back OPR exhaust filter, achieving 96% effectiveness in outward particulate reduction, protecting both patients and staff.

How CAPR® SHS Works

CAPR® SHS eliminates fit-testing as with mask respirators, and bulky air tubes and external blowers of conventional PAPRs;
the entire airflow pathway is within the CAPR® Helmet.
Air Intake & Filtration
Outside toxic air is drawn in under the Filter Cover Cap (FCC) and through the PAPR100-N Filter, removing airborne contaminants with 99.99% efficiency.
Airflow Circulation
Clean air moves through the system’s motor and flows through a laminar airflow path to the front air diffusers.
Cooling & Clarity
The diffused clean air flows in front of the face, ensuring effortless breathing, cooling comfort, no CO₂ buildup, and a fog-free lens.
Source Control
As clean air mixes with potentially contaminated exhalation, it is directed through the back OPR exhaust filter, achieving 97% effectiveness in outward particulate reduction, protecting both patients and staff.
