WhiteGAPS are disposable barriers that are inserted into nitrous oxide hoods. They are designed to prevent cross-contamination between patients by inhibiting the transfer of skin contaminants, nasal droplets, and humidified air. A study found that WhiteGAPS provided significant protection from cross-contamination, as no bacterial growth was found on hoods after use with WhiteGAPS, whereas growth was seen in 25 of 30 cases without WhiteGAPS. WhiteGAPS are comfortable for patients and flexible enough to fit any nitrous oxide hood.
