While basically designed for the transport of biologically contaminated patients, CTMP is also arousing the interest of various emergency medical services. The chamber can operate in negative or positive/negative pressure mode (according to model) allowing wide usage within the hospital.
Negative pressure: for transporting infected patients or patients suspected of biological contamination such as: viral hemorrhagic fever, SRAS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), smallpox, tuberculosis, meningitis, etc.
Positive pressure: for protection and transport of immune compromised patients: bubble child, aplasia, etc.
