Custom solution for personal protective equipment (PPE) in the orthopaedic setting : retrofitting Stryker Flyte T5 PPE system

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has meant that there is growing pressure on hospital resources, not least the availability of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly face masks and respirator masks. Within the field of orthopaedic surgery, it is a common sight to see surgeons wearing 'space suits' (SSs) which comprise a helmet, hood and surgical gown. In this study, the authors made modifications to two different SS systems to incorporate a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter into the fan inlet to assess their potential as re-usable PPE systems for surgeons with regard to protection from a virus spread via respiratory droplets. The testing was carried out using particle counters upstream and downstream on a mannequin wearing two different SS systems with and without modifications to the fan inlet. The results show that using a layer of HEPA filter, cut to size and sealed to the fan inlet in the helmet, will reduce downstream particulates at the user's mouth by >99.5%; this is equivalent to a respirator mask. HEPA filter material is relatively cheap and can be used repeatedly, making this a viable alternative to disposable, and even resterilized, respirator masks in the setting of a respiratory-droplet-spread viral pandemic.
