With an original mission to help our local community hospitals and healthcare workers, Superfeet and sister company Flowbuilt Manufacturing successfully produced and delivered 42,000 PAPR hoods to hospitals in the northwestern region of United States during the month of April.
Effective immediately, we are opening an additional 30,000-unit capacity for May to help meet continued nationwide demand.
When Superfeet pivoted to manufacturing PAPR hoods, we took our commitment to building durable, easy-to-use and comfortable-to-wear insoles and applied that ethos to creating Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Our Superfeet team quickly took what was a single-use product and upgraded it to be reusable, sanitizable and multi-system compatible. We designed the PAPR hoods to be natively compatible with the 3M Air-Mate™ system. Printed on Flowbuilt’s HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printers, the Superfeet PAPR adaptors allow the hoods to be used with all major PAPR systems found in hospitals across the country.
In addition to being reusable and cleanable (UV and wipe sanitizable), Superfeet PAPR hoods are designed to be strong enough to stand up to the rigors of their intended environment. The PAPR hoods are compatible with:
● 3M Air-Mate™
● 3M Versaflo ™
● ILC Dover Sentinel XL®
● Honeywell North ®
Superfeet continues to offer their 3D printers and manufacturing capabilities in the effort to combat COVID-19.
