The following comparison shows a traditional form of PPE used where there is a risk of aerosol contamination, and the better option using an Worksafe Air-Hood

Traditional Air-Hood
Eyes not sealed – even with a face shield Several leaky junctions – poor protection Uncomfortable and sweaty Hard to communicate Removal jeopardises eyes Must be changed between patient contacts to prevent cross-infection, endangering the wearer Alarming to patient Pressure on face causes a headache Very difficult for spectacle wearer – misting, discomfort	Complete coverage of all mucous membranes in one piece No junctions to leak Positive prevention against virus ingress Removal much less hazardous Comfortable wear for the whole shift Easy to communicate Much less daunting to patient Reusable – lower cost of ownership Accommodates spectacles very comfortably – no misting, can adjust through the flexible hood
