Body suits, sanitizers, and N99 masks: DRDO gears up to fight coronavirus
A
body suit developed by India's premier research and development organisation DRDO can protect doctors and other health workers
attending on Covid-19 patients.
The
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said the body suit can
shield doctors, medical staff, sanitation workers and others.
According
to a DRDO statement, the body suit developed earlier for medical and
paramedical staff to manage and evacuate the causalities in the event of
radiological emergencies has now been converted into a full body suit to stop
contamination.
"The
suit is washable and has passed the ASTM International standards. The suit is
widely tested by DRDO and other agencies and found suitable for the
cause," it said.
Each
suit costs Rs 7,000. Frontier Protective Wear Pvt Ltd, Kolkata and Medikit Pvt
Ltd, Mumbai are producing 10,000 suits per day.
