Product Overview
The Elite Bags CRITICAL Infection Control ALS Bag is designed for EMS environments where cross-contamination risk is highest—multi-patient calls, infectious disease responses, and high-volume trauma systems where bags are exposed to blood and body fluids on every shift. The tarpaulin material provides guaranteed repellency to water, body fluids, and liquids in general—not just water resistance, but true infection-control-grade barrier performance that allows the bag to be wiped clean with standard clinical disinfectants between calls without degrading the fabric.
The honeycomb interior structure—Elite Bags' term for their organized compartment layout—enables providers to visualize all contents at a glance and access the oxygen bottle, BVM, and all modules simultaneously when the bag opens. Five color-coded detachable modules with Velcro backing snap to the interior and can be removed and distributed to multiple providers in multi-patient scenarios. The included isothermal ampoule holder provides thermally stable medication storage for temperature-sensitive drugs.
The bag converts from a large-format duffle to a full backpack via detachable padded shoulder straps and concealed waist straps—a critical capability for high-rise, stair-intensive, or extended carry responses. Composite skid rails on the reinforced bottom protect the base from abrasion damage and prevent the bag from sliding on vehicle floors and triage surfaces. The 1000D polyamide clipboard included with the bag mounts externally for documentation access.
Infection Control Tarpaulin: What It Means
Standard EMS bags made from nylon or polyester absorb blood and biological fluids into the weave over time, becoming vectors for cross-contamination that no amount of surface cleaning fully eliminates. Elite Bags' infection control tarpaulin forms a non-porous barrier: fluids cannot penetrate the shell. The surface can be decontaminated with hospital-grade disinfectants, bleach solutions, or wipes without staining or material degradation, extending both the safety and the functional life of the bag.
