AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, with the increase in the field of surgical use and the development of surgical technology, there are various sources of viral infection in the actual surgical environment, so the need to protect not only patients but also users has increased

For example, health care workers are at risk of contracting the virus when body parts or secretions separated from patients touch exposed skin such as the face or neck of health care workers

[0004] In addition, in the operating room, the user must continue to wear the mask until the end of the operation. When the operation time is prolonged, there is a problem of sweating due to the lack of ventilation in the surgical mask, and there is a problem of having to endure a harsh operating environment.
