Post-Pandemic: Breath of fresh air

A s practitioners are working to adapt to new norms, medical grade air filtration devices have become a popular asset, ensuring risks of Covid-19 spreading are kept to a minimum and patients feel safe enough to return to in-person examinations regularly, especially for emergencies. The global air purifiers market reflects the pandemic’s impact with the sector’s value expected to reach $2.09bn in 2025 from $1.42bn in 2020, according to a market report by the Business Research Company.

Medical grade filtration devices were already being used in dentists and hospitals but have been increasingly adopted by optometry practices due to air quality and infection transmission risks escalating during the pandemic.
