Second Skin for Tough Assignments

Dräger (Germany) has developed and produced chemical protection suits for over 50 years. These years of experience are evidenced by the new gas-tight Dräger CPS 7900, which also easily meets international standards. The reusable suit is resistant to flames, chemicals, warfare agents, and liquefied gasses. In addition, it displays high mechanical resistance and can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The suit is now available in olive.

Chemical protective suits (CPS) are essential for CBRN severe situations while working with unknown and dangerous chemicals and substances as well as during decontamination. The new gas-tight Dräger CPS 7900 is especially designed for assignments under these extreme conditions. Its new suit material, D-mex offers comprehensive protection from a wide variety of toxic industrial chemicals, chemical agents, biological hazardous substances, liquefied gases and bursts of flames.

D-mex protects during work in potentially explosive atmospheres as well as with the handling of frozen substances and hazardous substances at temperatures down to - 80°C. The suit even retains its protective effect if the surface is damaged. The material combination of a double-sided sturdy elastomer layer and chemically resistant laminate layer plus a tearproof textile ensures this.

Numerous international and national standards, for example the European EN 943-2, the EN 1073-2 and the British CBRN Standard BS 8467 specify the safety standards for chemical protection suits. Due to its new textile material, Dräger CPS 7900 not only meets all the specified standards for reusable protection suits, but also exceeds the requirements for emergency teams and CBRN-Units such as firebrigades, civil defence and civil protection as well as the military.

The working conditions under fully encapsulating chemical protection suits are extremely demanding. The CPS 7900 reduces these stresses through its wearing comfort and ergonomic functional details. The light and flexible suit material conforms to the wearer’s movements. The suit design allows high freedom of movement. In addition, there are five suit sizes available for emergency teams from 1.5 m to 2.10 m. In addition, with the aid of length adjustments, the wearer can adjust the pace length individually. The anti-fog disk prevents fogging of the visor and ensures an almost natural field of view.

Three options of glove combinations, which can be fastened quickly and without tools to the suit, enable to maintain the fine motor skills as much as possible. Exchangeable boot connections and functional safety boots offer the wearer secure footing.

The optional accessories expand the possibilities for application of the new Dräger CPS 7900. A manometer holder on the edge of the visor helps the wearer to observe the cylinder-pressure without having to remove his arm from the sleeve. The D-Connect is used for attaching measuring instruments or tools both on the left and right hip and can be used for crash rescue of injured persons as well. Moreover, if the air supply of the compressed air breathing apparatus is not sufficient for the entire mission, the Air-Connect and the PT 120 L control valve on the front of the suit offers a connection to an external breathing air source. The control valve also makes it possible to cool the suit and thus increases the wearing comfort in situations with high thermal load.
