The MEDICON is a positive-pressure type protective suit that sends air through an air fan (with a built-in antibacterial sheet) placed on the back and discharges the air inside through a HEPA filter on the head, preventing secondary infection by keeping virus droplet nuclei from leaking into the hospital or facility, even if the visitor is asymptomatic and a pathogen carrier. This is a very useful feature for those who are visiting a patient for a short time. This allows visitors and patients to connect, even for a short time, and to spend meaningful time together before surgery, for example, by meeting face to face for “encouragement”.

Product name: MEDICON
Background of development: Amid the drastic social changes caused by the new coronavirus, we are convinced that “Personal Space” can deliver safety and security, and we started development of protective clothing against the new coronavirus in April with the hope of “helping medical professionals and their families who support society. We started development in April as protective clothing against the new coronavirus.
Product Features:
(1) Cool and comfortable even in protective clothing Safe air is blown inside the suit, freeing it from sweltering heat.
⑵ Easy to put on and take off ⑵ Smooth zipper operation facilitates undressing after use
(3) Full-body protection ensures safety Full-body coverage avoids the risk of droplet infection.
⑷ Reuse of protective clothing is achieved. Specifications and mechanisms are in place to ensure the continued operation of high-function suits.
Specifications: While taking thorough measures to prevent droplet infection, an air fan (with a built-in antibacterial sheet) attached to the back of the suit supplies fresh air to the inside of the suit, ensuring comfort even when wearing the suit. The suit is also designed for safer and smoother undressing. Furthermore, in order to prevent secondary infection within the hospital or facility, a HEPA filter is attached to the air outlet of the suit, so that even in the unlikely event that a visitor to the hospital is positive for the virus, no virus droplet nuclei are released within the hospital or facility.
