Cato is proud to be associated with Smoke-Mask, Inc. in the marketing of two remarkable new life-saving devices. We believe that the Smoke Survival Hood (SSH-C) or the new Personal Smoke Survival Hood (SSH-P) should be available in every area where smoke is a possibility and especially in areas where immediate access to fresh air is not possible.

We were asked to design and develop protective covers for these Smoke Survival Hoods, which would assist in making the product immediately available in hotels and other public spaces.

The SSH-C and SSH-P Smoke Survival Hoods are a technically advanced emergency respiratory smokehood designed to assist in the safe exit from smoke-filled environments.

The Smoke Survival Hoods have been laboratory certified and is field tested on a scheduled basis to ensure product effectiveness and reliability. Tests have shown the mask to be effective for 20 minutes against carbon monoxide (1,200 ppm at 35 liters per minute flow rate). Evaluate and compare the advantages of either the Smoke Survival Hood or the Personal Smoke Survival Hood when considering a product for your safety and protection:

    HOOD ASSEMBLY SPECIFICATIONS

  • FIRE RESISTANCE - The customized NyPro clear, hand-soft material used in the hood is manufactured using a dual-layered process combining nylon with polypropylene. This unique combination provides chemical, puncture and tear resistance as well as the heat resistance required to exit safely.
  • EXHAUST VALVE - Polycarbonate with a Buna "N" Rubber diaphragm. Maintains positive air pressure inside the hood, reduces breathing resistance, prolongs effectiveness of the filter and reduces fogging. Enclosed in a tamper-proof polycarbonate case.
  • NECK STRAP - 1" width elastic "hook and loop" style adjustable strap. The strap has quick-connect "buckle" style release mechanisms, which allow for tightening or loosening of the protective neck seal in a few seconds.
