The latest addition to the Skytec respiratory range is the Sentinel Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR).
Adjustable, personalised protection
Featuring simple display controls and intuitive functionality, the Skytec Sentinel PAPR offers four adjustable airflow speeds for personalised comfort. Its lightweight, balanced design improves mobility and reduces fatigue, while visual, audible, and vibration alarms ensure multi-sensory alerts to ensure continuous protection. With various headtops, filters and optional integration with ear defenders, the PAPR offers versatile protection for industrial and healthcare use. Filters, headtops and accessories are easily integrated to ensure the correct protection for the specific application.
Why choose Skytec PAPR over disposable respirators?
The Skytec Sentinel PAPR represents an innovative approach to powered respiratory protection, combining advanced performance with user-focused design.
- Comfort and breathability – PAPR lowers breathing resistance and improves comfort with cooler airflow, ideal for hot or humid environments
- Higher protection factor – PAPRs offer higher protection than disposable or reusable half masks
- Integrated protection – removes the need for multiple PPE items by integrating respiratory, eye, and head protection into one system
- All-day wearability – continuous airflow reduces heat, moisture, and CO2 buildup, preventing fogging and discomfort for longer wear
- Long term cost efficiency – while the initial investment is higher, PAPRs have reusable, long-life components and replaceable filters, reducing ongoing waste and cost over time
- Worker compliance – the powered air creates a perceptible sense of cooling and protection, improving psychosocial comfort. If workers feel safer and less fatigued, this encourages higher compliance rates
- Reduced impact – compared to single-use respirators, PAPRs produce significantly less waste, supporting sustainability goals. The modular components can be serviced, sanitized and reused to extend the life cycle of the product.
Innovation at its finest
The Skytec PAPR demonstrates clear innovation when compared to conventional respiratory protective equipment. Unlike tight fitting masks, the Sentinel PAPR does not require face fit testing. This allows organisations to simplify compliance processes whilst providing a more inclusive solution for workers with facial hair.
Keeping you protected all day
Even during extended periods and long working days, the Skytec Sentinel PAPR ensures continuous all-day protection.
Integrating multi-sensory technology, the system has clear alerts for when the airflow is restricted. By alerting the user visually, audibly, and with a vibration, the system ensures critical warnings are quickly recognised and can be rectified to ensure consistent protection.
The excellent battery life surpasses most competitive systems, ensuring the system lasts all day even in extended shifts.
