Firefighters often enter extreme conditions to save lives, facing intense heat, smoke, and toxic gases. The Dräger PSS® Rescue Hood is designed to support firefighters in these critical moments, providing a safe and effective means of rescuing individuals from hazardous environments.

Dräger PSS® Rescue Hood enhances the safety and comfort of those being rescued, thanks to its thoughtful design features. One of its standout components is a foam pad silencer fitted inside the hood at the hose connector. This pad reduces the noise level of the air supply, making it easier for the firefighter to communicate with the person being rescued. Clear communication is crucial during rescue operations, helping to keep the individual calm and informed, which can make all the difference in a high-stress situation.

Using the Dräger PSS® Rescue Hood is straightforward. The firefighter places the hood over the person’s head and connects it to their breathing apparatus, ensuring a reliable air supply. The hood’s drawstring is then tightened around the neck to create an airtight seal, preventing harmful substances from entering the hood. This user-friendly design means firefighters can quickly equip the hood, minimizing delays and maximizing protection.

Designed for inclusivity, the hood accommodates various head sizes and allows for spectacle wearers to keep their glasses on, reducing potential discomfort or disorientation for the person being rescued. This versatility makes the Hood a reliable tool in diverse rescue situations, adapting to individual needs without compromising safety.

In challenging environments, the Dräger PSS® Rescue Hood empowers firefighters to focus on the task at hand—saving lives—with confidence that their rescue equipment is up to the demands of the job. This life-saving device is a vital asset in the firefighting toolkit, exemplifying Dräger’s commitment to safety and innovation.
