Maximum Protection Against Biological Hazards Spitting is one of the most vile and dangerous forms of assault faced by law enforcement, corrections officers, and EMS personnel. The Luminary Transport Spit Hood is engineered to neutralize this threat immediately. Unlike standard single-layer masks that can allow fluids to mist through, this hood features a Triple-Layer Construction that creates a robust barrier against saliva, blood, and vomit, significantly reducing the risk of exposure to communicable diseases such as Hepatitis and Tuberculosis.
Despite its high level of protection, the hood is designed for Full Visibility and Breathability. The mesh material allows officers to clearly monitor the detainee’s face and breathing status at all times, ensuring "duty of care" compliance during transport. The integrated Elastic Neckband with Lock Tab ensures rapid, secure application that prevents the detainee from shaking or pulling the hood off, yet sits comfortably without restricting airflow.
Key Features
- Triple-Layer Filtration: Advanced multi-layer mesh captures and contains fluids effectively, preventing "pass-through" misting common with cheaper hoods.
- Secure Lock Tab: Features a specialized elastic neckband with a locking mechanism that prevents the detainee from removing the hood, ensuring it stays in place during struggles.
- Full Visibility: The translucent mesh design allows for constant visual monitoring of the subject’s mouth and nose, critical for medical safety and liability protection.
- Universal Fit: The "One Size Fits Most" design accommodates juveniles to adults with no front or back orientation, allowing for instant application in high-stress scenarios.
- Safe & Disposable: Constructed with no metal or hard plastic components that could be weaponized. Designed for single use to prevent cross-contamination.
Why It Matters A spitting detainee turns a routine transport into a biohazard situation. "Universal Precautions" usually mean gloves and eye protection, but a Spit Hood is the only PPE that stops the threat at the source. It preserves the dignity of the process while protecting the health of the officers involved.
