Flyte
Personal Protection System
Flyte Personal Protection Hoods and Togas are designed to protect healthcare professionals against contamination, exposure to infectious bodily fluids, and the transfer of microorganism and particulate matter.
Protecting you
while you protect others
On average, orthopaedic surgeons get splashed with 203 blood and fatspots during a hip revision surgery.1
1 Billion
Operating staff can be one of the main sources of contamination, an individual can release 1,000,000,000 skin cells per day through skin shedding, out of which approximately 10% of particles carry microorganisms.3
Surgical masks may have up to 50% filter leakage, while surgeon’s conjuctiva has been contaminated in 30 % of cases!2
”The type of surgery we do will always involve splashes and stains,
but we can reduce the risk we face in each surgery, in each patient.”*

"
The hood and the visor offer a protective function against blood- and liquid splashes, especially in face and eyes.4
"
Flyte togas and hoods provide full coverage
to the head and neck region without any gaps
The ECDC recommends using a separate splash-proof hood for full protection of the face area since most valved FFP respirators are not certified as splash proof.
An FFP1, 2 or 3 mask can be worn underneath Flyte, to combine respiratory and liquid protection.

ECDC Guidelines
For respiratory protection, the ECDC Guidelines recommend using an FFP2 or FFP3 respirator when assessing a suspected COVID-19 case or managing a confirmed case, and an FFP3 mask for aerosol generating procedures.The ECDC recommends using a separate splash-proof hood for full protection of the face area since most valved FFP respirators are not certified as splash proof.
