Abstract

A contaminated casualty is enclosed within an evacuation container comprising inner and outer enclosures for evacuation to an uncontaminated treatment enclosure having an opening operably opened and closed by a first fastener. A second fastener operably opens and closes casualty entry openings in the inner and outer enclosures. The second fastener closes the space between the inner and outer enclosures to maintain uncontaminated space therebetween when the casualty entry openings are opened. A third fastener operably opens and closes a casualty extraction opening in the outer enclosure. The third fastener is compatible with at least a portion of the first fastener to form a passageway for moving a casualty encapsulated within the inner enclosure out from the outer enclosure and into the uncontaminated treatment enclosure.
