Thomas EMS ALS Hartschalenkoffer

What makes the Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case different from the BLS version?

The Thomas ALS Hard Case features a larger removable padded drug case mounted in the lid—specifically organized for ALS medications and airway equipment, including a complete airway section for up to 8 laryngoscope blades, a deep ET tube pocket (approximately 16 tubes), and a lockable vinyl pocket for controlled substances. The BLS Hard Case has 6 color-coded pockets for BLS equipment but does not include the dedicated medication drug case component.

Can the drug case in the Thomas ALS Hard Case lid be used separately?

Yes. The large padded drug case in the lid is magnetically secured and can be detached from the main case entirely. This allows one medic to take the drug case to a patient while the main case remains at the staging area, or distribute the drug case to a second medic on a multi-victim scene—enabling simultaneous ALS interventions from a single case.

What are the interior dimensions of the Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case?

The Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case has interior dimensions of 18.25" L × 14" W × 7" H. This provides substantial storage for a comprehensive ALS load-out including IV supplies, cardiac equipment, assessment tools, and wound management supplies in the main compartment alongside the dedicated drug case in the lid.

Is the Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case fluid-resistant?

Yes. The ALS Hard Case is made from Thomas EMS's fluid-resistant heavy-weight vinyl—used across the full Thomas hard case line. The rigid construction prevents equipment compression in vehicle compartments, and the exterior surface wipes clean with standard disinfectants between calls. High-visibility glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls maintain nighttime visibility.

What colors does the Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case come in?

The Thomas EMS ALS Hard Case is available in three colors: Grey (SKU MEDTAC1031), Orange (SKU MEDTAC1032), and Yellow (SKU MEDTAC1033). Multiple colors allow agencies to visually differentiate case types—for example, using yellow for high-visibility nighttime identification, or orange for primary ALS cases versus grey for backup units.
