Patus Manufacturers of OdorScreen

Patus develops groundbreaking frontline solutions for coping with nauseating, offensive and unpleasant odors

Pioneering Products for Controlling Olfactory Perception

Recent research both in the USA and in Israel shows that nauseating odors severely affect the concentration, capabilities and overall functioning of those exposed to them. This is a serious consideration for those at risk of continuous exposure, such as emergency personnel, the medical services, military personnel and aid and rescue workers.

Those working in these environments are often forced to operate surrounded by powerful protein-based odors such as burnt or decomposing flesh, infected wounds, vomit and bodily fluids. In the long term, research has shown that repeated exposure to malodors can lead to loss of appetite, loss of the ability to smell accurately and even psychological stress, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or depression.

Control at the Point of Contact

Patus’s innovative product, OdorScreen was developed to control olfactory perception. Earlier attempts and products aimed to control or conceal the source of the odor. OdorScreen targets the receptors in the nasal passage, altering the perception of organic malodor. However the perception of hazardous odors such as poison gasses is not impaired.

The immediate results of using OdorScreen include the increased ability to concentrate on the task at hand and improved overall performance for personnel in situations of high stress caused by nauseating odors.

We Specialize in Olfactory Perception Altering Technologies

Extensive research and a deep understanding of olfactory perception altering technologies lie behind each Patus innovation. Patus products are based on selectively affecting specific olfactory receptors , thereby altering perception of the malodor.

As a young and dynamic company in a new field, Patus continues to develop innovative products to respond to market requirements, aided by a knowledgeable team and supported by an advisor from the renowned Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

We are at the Forefront of a Rapidly Expanding Field

There is a growing awareness throughout the world of the need to protect workers who are exposed to strong and debilitating odors. At the same time, research into the relatively little studied field of olfactory perception is pointing at the surprising power of the sense of smell.

Understanding this field and possible applications of olfactory perception altering technologies, Patus is set to lead a potentially expansive market, including homeland security, government agencies, military, first responders, healthcare and emergency services, as well as the private market
