Those who work
or live in high rise buildings, travel on planes or cruise ships
and stay in hotels or other unfamiliar locations, may find it
more difficult to quickly escape the threat of smoke during a
fire. We supply the state of the art smoke hood "EVAC-U8".
This
is an innovative personal emergency escape smoke hood. It
provides respiratory and eye protection in the event of a fire.
It can be used to help you and your loved ones evacuate to
safety.
| "We endorse the
Aviation Consumers Action petition for
rulemaking on passenger smoke hoods... We
believe that passenger smoke hoods will be of
great help in saving lives... The use of smoke
hoods by flight attendants shows that this
proposal is technologically feasible."
 Matthew
H. Finucane,
Director of Air Safety and Health, Association
of Flight Attendants (AFL-CIO), Washington, DC,

EVAC-U8™
is a filter respirator, and it contains no oxygen or compressed
air. When you breathe through the filter, the incoming air is
cleansed. Toxic gases typically found in smoke from fires such
as Carbon Monoxide are filtered out. Unlike many inferior smoke
hoods, EVAC-U8™‘s unique system of one-way exhalation valves and
nose-clip ensures that you do not re-breathe exhaled air. A
further benefit is the fact that each time you exhale a slightly
positive pressure is created within the hood. This helps keeps
smoke and harmful chemicals typically found in smoke away from
the eyes, thus avoiding irritation.
