Abstract
A series has been developed of closed-system isolators which provide patients with the same effective control of microbial infection as is possible in the laboratory animal. These isolators are used to protect susceptible patients from exogenous infection as well as to prevent the spread of dangerous pathogens from infected patients. The six models of isolators are designed for use in operating theatres, or on the wards and to transport patients.
