A Closer look into MIRA Safety MB-90 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR):
This detachable unit upgrades your standard gas mask to a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR mask) that uses an integrated blower instead of the user’s natural breathing for improved airflow and positive pressure within your gas mask.
MIRA Safety’s PAPR is based on an enhanced design from the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), modified to use standard AA batteries, and available at a third of the closest competitor’s price. Users will breathe more easily and comfortably while wearing a PAPR respirator. Still, it’s ideal for those with a limited lung capacity who may not otherwise be able to wear a mask
Why the MB-90 Stands Out:
The MB-90 PAPR is a revolutionary advancement in personal protective equipment. While most gas masks rely on the wearer’s lung power, the MB-90 ensures easy breathing by drawing air through its filters. Its design is not only lightweight but also versatile, accommodating a range of batteries. The positive pressure environment it creates offers an added layer of safety, a feature not commonly found in standard gas masks. Moreover, its adaptability to commonly found AA batteries, as opposed to the expensive specialized ones required by most PAPRs, makes it a practical and cost-effective choice for many. This product truly redefines comfort, safety, and convenience in protective gear.
