Integrated Photothermal Device for Extending Lifetime of N95 Masks-COVID-19

延长N95口罩寿命的迫切需要已经成为加拿大医疗保健系统的当务之急。在这个项目中，我们将开发一种完全集成的设备，允许每小时同时消毒多达20个N95口罩，同时将操作员和医院人员的健康风险降至最低。该设备源于Alarcon博士在光生物学和光医学方面的专业知识，以及Luzchem Inc.对创新照明和热设备的开发。

The urgent need for extending the lifetime of N95 masks had become a pressing matter for the Canadian Healthcare system. In this project, we will develop a fully integrated device that will allow for simultaneous disinfection of up to 20 N95 masks per hour while minimizing health risks to the operators and hospital personnel. This device grows from the expertise in photobiology & photomedicine of Dr. Alarcon and the development of innovative illumination and thermal devices by Luzchem Inc.
