Think you are safe with masks? Masks expose the eyes, which are a key route for pathogens to infect humans, as found by researchers at the University of Hong Kong. On average, people touch their faces 23 times an hour. That means roughly every 3 minutes you risk transferring the threat from contaminated surfaces to your body--potentially through the eyes--even if you are wearing a mask.
VIHELM introduces a breakthrough innovation by combining a protective helmet with the concept of a glove box used in laboratory settings, offering a way to touch the face while still keeping the respiratory tract isolated from the external environment.
Now you can safely touch your face, thanks to a skin-friendly glove made from waterproof antibacterial nano silver fabric placed at the bottom front of the helmet, which can be neatly folded away when not in use.
Another risk with mask-wearing comes when you have to remove your mask to eat or drink. Do you take off your mask and risk contamination, or endure hunger and thirst?
Choose VIHELM and recharge with an energy bar or a juice box stored inside two removable elastic pockets attached to the inner sides of the helmet. Get the sustenance you need without having to compromise your protection.
The pockets can also be used to store other personal items such as glasses, facial tissues, etc.
In this new normal, everything you touch might be a deadly threat, as pathogens can live for days on many surfaces:
VIHELM fully covers all entrances that lead to the respiratory tract and fixes all current protective gear's shortcomings such as eye exposure and uncovered gaps, protecting you even when in close contact (within 6 feet)
Combined with the innovative glove, VIHELM prevents you from either inhaling airborne pathogen vectors or touching contaminated objects, so that you can safely touch your loved ones.
VIHELM is designed to offer the best possible protection even in high-risk environments such as airports and long flights, as well as superspreader events.
Layers of protection - a medical-grade non-woven filter, a HEPA filter, and a optional high-efficiency germicidal UV chamber - remove all the invisible dangers of air pollution and air-transmitted threats, including: tobacco smoke, fine dust, pollutants, and pathogens from the air.
VIHELM’s powerful blower maintains positive pressure inside the helmet at all times, and pumps more than 9 cubic feet (252 liters) of fresh, purified air into the breathing zone every minute. The air supply system can be powered by any off-the-shelf smartphone power bank or power supply.
It can last for 8 hours on maximum airflow rate with a large power bank. What's more, the power bank can be charged while in use, guaranteeing uninterrupted protection.
The filter cartridge and breathing tube can be moved from the back to the front, allowing comfortable sitting experience. VIHELM’s compact design can be easily used even within the confinement of an economy-class seat.
Studies have found that each dollar invested in business travel can generate as much as $12.50 in revenue, it’s clear that the inability to travel safely has cost a lot of money for business.
