The Reusable-Suspension Hood for High-Turnover Work
The 3M Versaflo S-655 is a hood assembly with inner collar and premium head suspension. In the S-Series line the premium reusable suspension hoods keep the suspension and air ducting in service while only the hood fabric is replaced, which the manufacturer positions as cost-effective in high disposal rate environments, with low airflow noise for wearer comfort. Loose-fitting headtops on these systems do not require fit testing, and certain limited facial hair may be accommodated, per the manufacturer. Programs should confirm the filter or cartridge fitted matches the hazard assessment before issuing a unit.
