The structures of our Biosafety Hoods are qualified as a level 1 fluid barrier. They can be used to protects technicians working in aftermath cleanup and biohazard removal. They are also useful in limiting healthcare workers the risk of being exposed to infectious substances when treating patients infected with communicable diseases.  They can be worn independently, under or over a mask, in conjunction with a respirator, or as a liner under a hardhat, helmet, or face shield.

The full-cover hood provides maximum coverage, forms air-pocket around nose and mouth and a tight fit around wearer's eyes. Many workers have found that wearing our hood under a respirator provides an additional layer of barrier and a soft cushion of comfort and reduces gapping.

However, if it interferes with the fit, try the open-face style which eye opening can be pulled down to allow the respirator direct contact with the skin. To change the Full-Cover to Open-Face, simply take scissors and clip off the nose portion prior to wearing.
