Elite Bags CRITICAL Infektionskontrolle ALS-Tasche

What makes the Elite Bags CRITICAL bag an infection control product?

The Elite Bags CRITICAL ALS Bag (EB02.027) is constructed from tarpaulin material with guaranteed repellency to water, body fluids, and liquids—forming a non-porous barrier rather than just a water-resistant surface. Unlike nylon or polyester bags that absorb biological fluids into the fabric weave over time, the tarpaulin can be decontaminated with hospital-grade disinfectants between calls without staining or material degradation.

Does the Elite Bags CRITICAL bag accommodate an oxygen cylinder?

Yes. The CRITICAL ALS Bag is designed to accommodate D and Jumbo D oxygen cylinders with a pass-through port and adjustable straps securing the cylinder inside the main compartment. The honeycomb interior organization allows oxygen therapy equipment and all ALS modules to coexist in the same bag without compromising access to either.

Can the Elite Bags CRITICAL bag be converted to a backpack?

Yes. The CRITICAL ALS Bag converts from a large-format duffle to a full backpack via detachable padded shoulder straps and concealed waist straps. This conversion is useful for high-rise responses, stair climbs, and extended carry deployments where hands-free transport is needed. When backpack carry is not required, the straps detach to maintain the compact duffle profile.

How many modules does the Elite Bags CRITICAL bag include?

The CRITICAL ALS Bag includes five color-coded detachable modules with Velcro backing that mount to the interior compartment walls, plus one isothermal ampoule holder for temperature-sensitive medications. The modules can be removed individually and distributed to multiple providers in multi-patient scenarios. A 1000D polyamide clipboard is also included for patient documentation.

What is the size and weight of the Elite Bags CRITICAL ALS Bag?

The Elite Bags CRITICAL ALS Bag EB02.027 measures 22" L × 14" W × 11.5" H (61 × 35 × 29.5 cm) and weighs 5.31 kg (approximately 11.7 lbs) empty. This large-format bag provides an oversized main compartment with expandable side and top/front zipper compartments, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty through Leonhard Lang USA.
