Bullard PAPRs provide a high level of respiratory protection while maximizing user comfort which is critical during extended response efforts such as pandemics, chemical events, or infectious disease outbreaks. They reduce breathing resistance and come with loose-fitting hoods that don’t require fit testing, making them ideal for surge staffing and varying facial structures.

Bullard offers systems with hoods and shrouds that provide full head, face, and neck coverage to minimize exposure to airborne pathogens. Their PAPRs feature HEPA filters that meet or exceed NIOSH standards, protecting against particulate-based biological hazards, making them suitable for use in isolation units, decontamination zones, and temporary field hospitals.

Many Bullard components, including their PAPRs and face shields, are designed for repeated use with proper cleaning. The company offers guidelines for decontamination and storage to help maintain product integrity. This makes them cost-effective for long-term emergency preparedness programs.

Bullard provides user-friendly training materials, including quick-start guides and videos. Their systems are intuitive to assemble and operate, and the loose-fitting nature of many of their respirators minimizes the learning curve. This is especially valuable during rapid mobilization of surge staff.
