Life Preserver Inflatable Cells and Restraint Layer

Each damage tolerant life preserver (DTLP) contains two inflatable cells. The cells are made from polyurethane coated nylon fabric. Both versions are inflated using co² to inflate either cell. If one cell is compromised prior to inflation, the functional redundant cell can be inflated maintaining full flotation performance.

The MD4020 uses a Hammar hydrostatic inflator that activates automatically upon entry into the water yet remains impervious to high humidity, heavy rain or waves. The MD4025 FR must be actuated manually. Both models may be actuated manually by pulling on the beaded handle for either chamber. Inflating either one or both chambers provide full function of the device for operational use. Both chambers have oral inflation backup and pressure relief valves to prevent over inflation. The larger buoyancy models come equipped with a dump valve that allows emergency deflation and improved mobility if needed. When inflated, the cell forms a yoke around the back of the user's neck, extending into two lobes down the users chest. The inflatable cells are contained within a protective restraint, and can be easily replaced or repaired. The damage tolerant life preserver (DTLP) comes standard with a SOLAS signal whistle, sea light, buddy line, lifting strap, and SOLAS grade retro reflective tape. The inflatable cell restraint layer comes standard in high visibility international orange, but is available in subdued colors to meet operational requirements.
