Deluxe Medical Airway Rescue Backpack - Impervious

What is the MTR Deluxe Medical Airway Rescue Backpack designed to carry?

The MTR-18224-BK is designed to organize and transport a complete advanced airway management kit, including laryngoscope handles and blades, endotracheal tubes, supraglottic airways, BVMs, suction catheters, confirmation devices, and related airway supplies. The bag's layout supports rapid, organized access to all airway equipment in emergency situations.

What material is the MTR Airway Rescue Backpack made from?

The backpack is constructed from fully padded, heavy-gauge fluid-impervious vinyl. This material prevents biological fluid penetration, simplifies between-call decontamination, and protects contents from environmental exposure including rain and wet ground contact. The impervious exterior is paired with padded interior panels to protect fragile equipment such as laryngoscope blades and tubes.

Does the MTR-18224-BK come with a warranty?

Yes. MEDTECH Resource backs this backpack with a lifetime warranty on the impervious vinyl material and construction. This is a significant advantage over standard nylon EMS bags, which typically carry limited or no warranty. The lifetime warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in long-term field durability.

Is this backpack suitable for HEMS (helicopter EMS) operations?

Yes. The ergonomic padded shoulder straps distribute weight across both shoulders, reducing fatigue during carry to and from aircraft. The impervious exterior handles fluid exposure common in high-acuity HEMS environments, and the oversized YKK zippers operate reliably with gloved hands in time-critical airway scenarios.

How does the MTR Airway Rescue Backpack differ from the MTR Airway Roll-out Bag?

The MTR-18224-BK is a full backpack with ergonomic shoulder straps designed for hands-free carry and larger airway kit storage. The MTR-18142-BK Airway Roll-out Bag is a tri-fold format that opens flat for tray-style access and is better suited as an on-scene deployment surface. The backpack is optimal for mobile carry; the roll-out bag provides a flat work surface layout for systematic equipment access.
