Powered respirator

With the HSE estimating around
4000 asbestos related cancer deaths in
the UK each year, Scott Safety has
launched Phantom Vision, a new
mask mounted powered respirator. It
is reported that the Phantom Vision
will provide greater comfort and ease
of operation for users in any
application requiring powered or nonpowered
full facemask protection.

Combining a new lithium-ion
battery, long-life brushless motor and
electronics technology with the already
popular Vision full facemask, the
Phantom Vision can be used in a wide
variety of demanding workplace
environments including
asbestos removal and
nuclear decommissioning.

With its motor
mounted inside the
facemask, Phantom
Vision significantly reduces
the burden for the user and
simplifies the decontamination
process after use. The Phantom is
available in three sizes offering high
levels of comfort for the user and an
unrestricted (98%) field of view.
