EMT Oath
Be it pledged as an Emergency Medical Technician, I will honor the physical and judicial laws of God and man. I will follow that regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, nor shall I suggest any such counsel. Into whatever home I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of only the sick and injured, never revealing what I see or hear in the lives of men.
I shall also share my medical knowledge with those who may benefit from what I have learned. I will serve unselfishly and continuously in order to help make a better world for all mankind.
While I continue to keep this oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life, and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times. Should I trespass or violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot. So help me God.

A Virtually Impenetrable Barrier Against Particles and Airborne Viruses
Union Springs Pharmaceuticals is introducing the SafeLife® T-5000 & T-5000V disposable respirators with Triosyn® antimicrobial protection.
The filtering technology in the T-5000 respirators has been shown to perform 100 times better than other disposable respirator filters at preventing live viruses from reaching the wearer's breathing zone.¹
Available in two designs - with (T-5000V) or without (T-5000) an exhalation valve - the respirators also provide protection against mists, splashes, and sprays of oil, blood and bodily fluids.
Adjustable straps and nose piece deliver a comfortable and secure fit. A full face foam seal also allows wearers of various face shapes and sizes to achieve a tighter fit and reduced potential air leakage.
Superior Filtration Efficiency
- Triosyn® filtration media has been proven to stop 99.99% of both airborne and droplet viruses.
- Performs 100 times better than competitive respirator filters at preventing live viruses from reaching the wearer's breathing zone.
World-Class Face Fit
- T-5000 Respirators have an overall efficiency rating of 99.98%, based on assessment of face fit and total inward penetration.
- Adjustable straps and nosepiece deliver a comfortable, secure fit
- Available in a variety of sizes and configurations for all face shapes
- Proven effective against viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi
- Filters smoke and nuisance odors
- Protects against mists, splashes and sprays of oil, blood, and bodily fluids
- Hermetically-sealed individual packages for ease of transport
- 5-year shelf life facilitates stockpiling
Viruses are much smaller than salt particles or bacteria, ranging from 0.02 - 0.30 microns, so they may penetrate ordinary N95 respirators at a significantly higher rate.² Some pathogens have an infectious dose as low as one organism and can be carried on respiratory particles.³ When you consider that many N95 respirators permit significant inward leakage of contaminated air around the face seal, relying on the wrong respiratory protection could be a fatal oversight.
The Science of Triosyn® Resin Delivers Active Protection
Triosyn® resin is a broad spectrum polymer with iodine which destroys dangerous organisms through a proprietary demand-release delivery mechanism. Triosyn® is activated by its strong attraction to a passing microorganism. This results in the transfer of molecular iodine from the resin to the charged surface proteins of the microorganism. The iodine immediately oxidizes proteins on the microorganism's surface, rendering it harmless. Microorganisms possess the electrochemical charge that activates the Triosyn® demand-release mechanism.
The resin is non-harmful to humans and the environment because the iodine is released only in the presence of demand-causing microorganisms and only in the amount required for eliminating the source of the demand.
Triosyn® resin compound creates increased microbial attraction by chemical, electrostatic, and physical means:
- The multi-layer filter has specialized fibers that crate more surface areas to capture more microorganisms.
- The active component in Triosyn® resin is attracted to passing microorganisms. This additional source of electrochemical charge enables the respirator to maintain its high efficiency longer.
- The Triosyn filtration media oxidizes the proteins on the surface of the microorganisms, rendering the microorganisms harmless and unable to re-enter the airstream.
