Escape safely when every second counts
Dräger has re-engineered its escape hood portfolio in close cooperation with customers. The result is the new Parat series. The escape hoods are quick to don and protect the user from toxic industrial and fire-related gases, vapors, and particles for at least 15 minutes.
Open the packaging, remove the hood, and don: In only 3 steps the Parat escape hood is ready for use. When opening the packaging, the filter plugs are automatically released and the filter is deployed into its end position. The hood is then ready for use.
Reliable Protection and Long Service Life
The escape hoods are equipped with high-performance filters with a service life of 8 years. Replacing the filter after these 8 years increases the service life of the escape hoods to a total of 16 years. A protective seal packaging indicates whether it has been opened. Additionally, the filter is sealed tightly with two filter plugs.
