Medical gas tank isolation shroud with unitary sleeve and hood portions

An isolation shroud for protecting a medical gas tank against contaminants, the medical gas tank is adapted to store gas and has a body with a bottom end, a distally oriented upper end, and a gas outlet and valve disposed on the upper end for controllably releasing the gas through a selectively attachable hose to be administered to a patient, the isolation shroud comprising:

• a sleeve portion having a closed end, a distally oriented open end, an outer surface, an inner surface, and an interior space defined by the inner surface, the open end, and the closed end, the open end is surrounded by a sleeve border and is adapted to allow the bottom end of the medical gas tank to be inserted therein, and the interior space is adapted to receive and enclose the body of the medical gas tank, allowing the sleeve portion to protect the body against contact with the contaminants;
• a hood portion having a hood top, a hood outer surface, a hood inner surface, a hood concavity formed by the hood inner surface, and a hood lower opening oriented downwardly away from the hood top, the hood lower opening is surrounded by a hood lower border;
• a connecting flap which both joins and is continuous with the sleeve portion and the hood portion, the connection flap corresponds to a portion of the hood lower border which is partially continuous with the sleeve border, the connecting flap is adapted to allow the hood portion to be raised about the connecting flap to a raised position over the upper end of the body such that the upper end passes through the hood lower opening to be contained within the hood concavity, wherein the hood lower border is adapted to overlap the outer surface of the sleeve portion below the sleeve border when the hood portion is in the raised position, allowing the hood portion to enclose and protect the upper end against contact with the contaminants, such that the combination of the hood portion and the sleeve portion is adapted to fully enclose the medical gas tank;
• a securable fastening means attached to the hood lower border adapted to tighten the hood lower opening against the sleeve portion and the body of the medical gas tank when the hood portion is in the raised position;
• and
• wherein the hood portion further has a hood front opening which opens forwardly when the hood portion is in the raised position, the hood front opening extends from the hood lower border upwardly toward the hood top, and the hood front opening is adapted to allow the hose to exit the hood concavity by extending downwardly through the hood front opening and between the hood lower border and the outer surface of the sleeve portion.
