New
infectious diseases can appear one after another.
We are having tough time to struggle with newly appeared
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which brings skyrocketing
increase of infected patients and outbreak of widespread infections.
Nowadays, people and commodities are moving around in the world regardless
borders. This means, once it breaks out, it takes long time and requires
huge effort for us to cease the epidemic. Also, it is important to minimize
the workers' risk for SARS in medical facilities.
Moreover, we have to get prepared ourselves for the new type of communicable
diseases, against which our countermeasures are still not established.
This means that preparing counter measures against nosocomial infection
have significant importance.
Indeed, route of infection may vary. However, particulate respirators are
effective to prevent droplet infections.
It is said that particulate respirators were introduced to the medical
field from the filed of occupational health and safety as a protective
device against tuberculosis. And particulate respirators are commonly used
in conventional manufacturing industries. None of the industries in the
current world have nothing to do with hazardous production environment
with various kind of Toxic substances. KOKEN's products are contributing
to occupational safety and health of the labors in the nation's key industries
such as nuclear power generation, steel making, ship building, semiconductor
manufacturing and automobiles. |
