Patent attributes
A therapeutic face mask apparatus for wearers with resistant respiratory viruses, is connected to a heat gun that provides adjustable heated and humidified air for inhalation. The heat gun heats ambient air that is breathed in through the face mask during normal breathing, which is worn over the nose and mouth of a person. A temperature gauge monitors temperature for future adjustment of the amount of heat generating current to raise the heat to a predetermined temperature to deactivate resistant viruses in compromised upper and/or lower respiratory systems of the wearer. The air in the chamber is heated for inhalation by a resistive element in the heat gun. The temperature of the resistive material (and by extension the warm air generated), is regulated/adjusted by increasing or decreasing the current output settings on the power source, so that heated and pressured air is produced.
