Replacement neck seals for cabin crew training PBE smoke hoods

Crew training PBE , like an aircraft training slide raft, offer a ruggedised replica of the original emergency equipment carried aboard aircraft. As an exact replica crew can familiarise themselves with the equipment and for the operating airline or academy the ability to sterilise, clean, repair and replace key components means reduced replacement costs and extended operational life.

The most often damaged part in any training smoke hood PBE is the neck seal, which can be damaged by the crew donning the equipments finger nails, earrings or even just application or removal.

All of the training smoke hoods (Drager, Scott and Puritan Bennett) use a common neck seal part, which attaches to the PBE by Velcro, and can be easily removed and cleaned or replaced if necessary. Two PBE replacement neck seals are available; the standard training smoke hood latex neck seal or the non-allergenic EDPM neck seal variant.

While an allergy to latex can be detrimental to a career as a flight attendant the EDPM neck seal means that non-flight operational personnel, such as students, can practise the safe and effective use of aircraft SEP emergency training hoods with no allergic reaction.

Both models of the replacement PBE neck seal are held in stock by cabincrewsafety.com, in support of customers using their range of training smoke hoods and as spare parts when ordering the training PBE as part of an aviation training program.
