Michael Rogers, vice president communications for the Small Business Association of Michigan, profiles Alex Walacovich, of ProReactive Respirator. ProReactive LLC has created the next generation of respirators for the Healthcare, Military, EMS, and Industrial OSHA markets. Current products can suffer the same two basic issues, poor fit and inadequate filter media.

The ProReactive respirator uses a patent-pending inflated sealing system to ensure maximum respirator to face seal is achieved and it uses a revolutionary nano-fiber filtration media that provides greatly improved protection for the users. The combination of the new sealing system and the nano-fiber filter makes the ProReactive the first respirator of its type for the mass market to provide real protection for the user from inhaled viral pathogens such as H1N1, Avian and Swine Flu.
