VIRUS AND BACTERIA

    Viruses and bacteria contained in blood and body fluids are a health risk to first responders. Personal protective equipment that remains reliably protective is critical to staying safe, allowing responders to focus on their mission.

    DESIGNED TO PROTECT
    PPE with Gore protective fabrics has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs and protects as intended in a range of scenarios.

    Structural firefighters

    During a call, firefighters can have multiple responsibilities that potentially expose them to blood and body fluids.

    Paramedics and ambulance personnel

    First responders need to actively assist patients, which requires reliable protection from blood and body fluids.

    Technical Rescue missions

    Technical rescue missions can be unpredictable and demand durable, lightweight garments that do not compromise protection or effectiveness.
