IIT Ropar designs doffing unit to enable health workers to remove their personal protective gear under sterile conditions
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar have designed and developed a ‘doffing unit’ to enable health workers remove their personal protective gear under sterile conditions. It was conceptualised after the Centre’s Special Task Force on COVID-19 desired from all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other institutions to design a doffing unit for the medical workers. According to experts, personal protection equipment (PPEs) like masks, gloves and gowns worn by doctors, nurses and other health workers have to be removed in a specified way.
