The Sentinel XL® CBRN Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system is engineered to provide advanced respiratory protection for emergency preparedness, hospital decontamination, first receiver, military, and hazardous response teams operating in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) environments. Designed as a NIOSH-approved loose-fitting PAPR, the system delivers superior protection without fit testing while maximizing wearer comfort, mobility, and operational readiness. Featuring durable hoods, integrated battery options, ergonomic carrying systems, and conversion kits for infectious disease applications, the Sentinel XL® CBRN helps organizations maintain preparedness for high-risk events and mission-critical response operations.
ILC Dover's CBRN respiratory protection portfolio includes solutions for both emergency response operations and emergency evacuation scenarios. Whether personnel require continuous respiratory protection while performing decontamination activities or rapid-use equipment for safe evacuation from hazardous environments, our respiratory systems are designed to deliver protection, comfort, and operational readiness.
A PAPR is designed for personnel who must operate in hazardous environments for extended periods while maintaining mobility and respiratory protection. An escape respirator is intended for emergency situations, providing temporary protection while the user evacuates to a safe area.
These systems are commonly used by:
Loose-fitting systems help simplify deployment by eliminating the need for fit testing while improving wearer comfort, visibility, and communication.
Organizations requiring protection for active response operations may benefit from a CBRN PAPR, while facilities focused on emergency preparedness and evacuation planning often incorporate escape respirators into their safety programs. Many organizations deploy both systems as part of a layered respiratory protection strategy.
