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. The excess material is pulled through the opening of the cinching grommet until the transport hood is properly positioned on the head of the detainee with the lowermost edge of the top portion and the uppermost edge of the bottom portion just below the eyes of the detainee. In other preferred embodiments, the cinching grommet is an elongate, hollow cylinder, a short length of string or wire, a split washer or a continuous elastic band.
