Dräger‘s emergency rescue helmets provide marine rescue responders with lightweight design and high visibility, without compromising on durability and ergonomics.

The new addition to Dräger’s comprehensive portfolio is the HPS AquaRescue, providing emergency responders with protection during water rescue missions. The HPS AquaRescue is one size fits all, ultra lightweight (weighing only 635 grams) and has high levels of impact resistance complemented by a shock absorption system. In addition, the polyurethane helmet peak protects the face from running water, sunlight and hard surfaces. This makes the helmet comfortable, safe and impact resistant to all levels of collision.   

Also in Dräger’s helmet portfolio is the HPS SafeGuard, which is one of the most lightweight helmets in its class, and designed to ensure optimal weight distributions. This helmet has excellent thermal insulation which guarantees a balanced climate inside the helmet which is particularly important during long rescue missions. The Dräger HPS SafeGuard offers optimal protection without limiting movement or perception and still with the highest levels of comfort.   

Classed as one of the safest full-shell helmets, the multipurpose firefighting helmet, Dräger HPS 7000, offers optimal protection due to its dynamic design and ergonomic fit. The plastic is reinforced with fibre glass and aramid webbing which means it can withstand extreme heat and radiation. In addition, a visor protects firefighters’ faces from high heat, particles and liquid chemicals.   

The Dräger HPS 3500, ideal for rescue teams, is particularly robust thanks to high-quality materials that offer optimum protection through exceptional mechanical durability – all while remaining lightweight. To ensure an optimum climate is met inside the helmet, the Dräger HPS® 3500 has a ventilation system.  

Dräger’s range of helmets can be used in a vast range of emergency response missions including structural firefighting, technical rescue, and hazardous material operations. Each helmet is an essential part of an emergency responder’s PPE equipment and is designed to integrate seamlessly with communication and respiratory systems to enhance personnel safety. Dräger’s helmets make sure that firefighters can enter any emergency prepared and protected allowing them to perform their critical roles and return home safely.  

Liz Milward, Marketing Manager, Emergency and Rescue Services at Dräger Safety UK, says the latest addition to the HPS series furthers Dräger’s ability to equip firefighters with a helmet for every occasion, meeting every level of safety and protection:  

“Firefighters rely on their equipment to protect them on life-saving missions. We know our helmets provide a trusted and reliable form of protection meaning emergency responders can focus on saving lives.”
