Designed for the vestibule.
Engineered for the shift.
Conventional respiratory protection fails the moment a worker removes it due to heat stress or fatigue. NASO-SHIELD is an intranasal filtration prototype with a reusable structure and replaceable filters.
The NASO-SHIELD Architecture
Bio-Silicone Contact Ring
The contact interface is engineered for the nasal vestibule. Material selection, seal retention and comfort are development targets undergoing biocompatibility and user-fit testing.
Dual-Chamber Reusable Chassis
The medical-grade polymer chassis keeps the mouth, chin, and 95% of facial skin unobstructed, ensuring clear voice communication and zero interference with helmets or eye protection.
Micro-Perforated Filter Core
Replaceable filter cartridges fit securely into the dual chassis chambers, designed for low breathing resistance and efficient multi-shift replacement.
Plan the evaluation workload
Conventional masks are frequently removed because of heat buildup, speech restrictions, or bridge friction. Below is an orientative planning model calculating annual shift exposure and estimated consumable savings.
50 crew × 8h × 212 shifts/year
Design goal vs. ~51% literature baseline
~191 kg plastic saved vs disposable cups
Orientative: 2 replacement units / operator / shift
