SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF AIRBORNE MATERIALS DURING CLINICAL OR LABORATORY PROCEDURES

摘要

A system can include a barrier configured to form a three-dimensional (3D) structure to define an interior volume and an exterior space and to mitigate fluid movement from the interior volume and into the exterior space thereby mitigating droplet, particulate, and aerosol movement in the flow path of the fluid from the interior volume and into the exterior space. The system can include a plurality of passages extending through the barrier to provide access from the exterior space and into the interior volume to perform the procedure on the patient or perform the study on the laboratory sample arranged in the interior volume. The barrier can be configured to be formed in the 3D structure to arrange a portion of the patient or the laboratory sample in the interior volume. The barrier can be external to the patient.
