Abstract: A transport hood protects conveying personnel from exposure to blood and body fluids of a detainee and avoids discomfort and breathing difficulty to the detainee if the blood and body fluids accumulate and are retained within the transport hood. The transport hood includes a top portion made of an open mesh material that is positioned over the head of the detainee to below the eyes of the detainee. A bottom portion made of a breathable material impervious to the blood and body fluids of the detainee is joined to the top portion below the eyes of the detainee and extends downwardly to below the chin of the detainee. The bottom portion has a plurality of perforations formed through the breathable material that allow the blood and body fluids issued by the detainee to drain from the bottom portion of the transport hood under the influence of gravity.

Abstract: A transport hood for conveying a detainee protects conveying personnel from exposure to blood and body fluids of the detainee, while avoiding discomfort and potential breathing difficulty to the detainee caused by blood and body fluids retained within the transport hood. The transport hood includes a top portion positioned over the head of the detainee to below the eyes and above the nose of the detainee. A bottom portion is joined to the top portion by a first circumferential length of elastic and extends downwardly to below the chin of the detainee. A second length of elastic gathers the bottom portion around the neck of the detainee. The transport hood further includes a skirt attached at the first length of elastic that hangs loosely and extends downwardly to at least the neck of the detainee.

Abstract: A medical device for containing body fluids includes an elongate sleeve and at least one closure strap. The elongate sleeve defines a longitudinal axis and has at least one open end. The sleeve is made of a material that has an absorbent layer and a substantially transparent, nonporous layer positioned outwardly of the absorbent layer. Preferably, the material of the sleeve also includes a non-adherent, porous layer positioned inwardly of the absorbent layer. The strap is attached to the sleeve for closing the open end and for positioning and securing the sleeve over a wounded area or over a dressing covering a wound. The strap is made of a flexible, elastic material. The strap is wrapped completely around the sleeve and is affixed to itself, thus positioning and securing the sleeve over the wounded area or the dressing. In one preferred embodiment, the medical device includes an elongate sleeve having a pair of open ends and a pair of straps.

Abstract: A transport hood for protecting personnel from exposure to the bodily fluids of a detainee includes a top portion, a bottom portion joined to the top portion and a cinching grommet. The top portion is made of a transparent, fine mesh material and has a continuous lowermost edge. The bottom portion is made of a breathable, fluid impervious material and has a continuous uppermost edge and a continuous lowermost edge. Preferably, a first length of elastic is sewn to the lowermost edge of the top portion and to the uppermost edge of the bottom portion to gather the bottom portion of the transport hood below the eyes of the detainee. A second length of elastic is preferably sewn to the lowermost edge of the bottom portion to gather the bottom portion just below the chin of the detainee. Preferably, the cinching grommet is a thin disk having an opening formed therethrough for grasping and securing a variable amount of the excess material of the top portion of the transport hood.
