Vapotherm

Device typeNegative-pressure face tent: A mask-like enclosure, with tubing for connection to a hospital suction system, designed to rest against the chin of a patient while remaining away from the face, and intended to create a negative pressure area near the patient’s nose and mouth to suction exhaled air and reduce the dispersal of potentially infectious particulates into the local environment. It is typically used while treating patients with airborne or droplet-transmitted infectious diseases (e.g., COVID-19). This is a single-use device.
