Cires Group

CIRES Group is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in advanced respiratory protective equipment designed for healthcare environments. Our systems focus on improving staff protection, comfort, and operational compliance in clinical settings. Our flagship solution, the AirMask powered respirator, provides TH3-level respiratory protection, the highest classification under European standards, while eliminating the need for tight facial seals and conventional fit testing. This allows a wider range of healthcare staff to achieve reliable protection, including individuals unable to pass traditional respirator fit tests. CIRES works closely with healthcare organisations to deliver practical respiratory protection solutions that support infection prevention, workforce inclusivity, and safe clinical practice.

Approach to Healthcare

Our company’s approach to healthcare focuses on delivering practical respiratory protection solutions that support both staff safety and clinical efficiency. We recognise that healthcare environments present unique challenges, including prolonged mask use, diverse workforces, and strict infection prevention requirements. Our systems are designed to provide the highest levels of respiratory protection while remaining comfortable and simple to use in day-to-day clinical practice. By prioritising loose-fitting powered respirators, we help remove barriers associated with fit testing and facial hair while maintaining reliable protection. We work closely with healthcare organisations to understand operational needs and ensure our respiratory protection solutions integrate effectively into healthcare environments.

Impact of Product/Services on Healthcare

Our products support healthcare organisations by improving respiratory protection while reducing operational barriers associated with traditional disposable respirators. Powered respiratory systems provide higher levels of protection and consistent performance, helping safeguard staff working in high-risk clinical environments. By removing the need for tight facial seals, our solutions enable a broader range of healthcare professionals to access effective respiratory protection, including those unable to pass conventional fit testing. This helps organisations maintain workforce resilience while supporting infection prevention strategies. Improved comfort during prolonged use also encourages compliance, ensuring protective equipment is worn correctly throughout clinical procedures and high-risk tasks where reliable respiratory protection is essential.

Innovation

Innovation is central to our business and is often shaped through collaboration with healthcare organisations. By working closely with clinicians, infection prevention teams and operational leads, we gain insight into the practical challenges faced when implementing respiratory protection in clinical environments. Where appropriate, we respond to feedback and real-world requirements by refining designs and developing solutions that address specific operational needs. This collaborative approach has supported the evolution of our powered respirator systems, improving usability, comfort and compatibility with diverse healthcare workforces. While not every request results in product changes, customer insight continues to inform responsible innovation that enhances safety, compliance and practical usability.

Future Direction

Our future direction focuses on continuing to improve respiratory protection for healthcare environments through ongoing product development and collaboration with healthcare organisations. We aim to further refine powered respirator systems to enhance comfort, usability and integration into clinical workflows. Alongside product innovation, we are expanding our support resources to assist healthcare providers even further with implementation and compliance. We will continue to invest in research and engineering to ensure our solutions respond to emerging risks and evolving infection prevention guidance. By maintaining close engagement with professionals in the industry, our goal is to deliver respiratory protection solutions that remain practical, reliable and suited to future challenges.
