MTR Elite Trauma Bag - Impervious Large

What does 'fluid impervious' mean for the MTR Elite Trauma Bag?

Fluid impervious means the bag's exterior material, seams, pockets, and zipper areas are all constructed to prevent blood, body fluids, and liquid contamination from penetrating through to the bag's interior or stored supplies. This is a critical feature for EMS and first response applications where exposure to biological fluids is routine. A fluid-impervious bag can be wiped down and decontaminated externally without concern about contamination soaking through to stored medical supplies.

What is the difference between the Large and Medium MTR Elite Trauma Bags?

The Large (25.5"L × 15.75"W × 11.5"H, SKU MTR-14032-BK) has more internal volume than the Medium (25.25"L × 13.75"W × 11.50"H, SKU MTR-14031-BK). The Large provides additional width for more supply capacity, making it appropriate for ALS loadouts, engine company first-in bags, and supervisory medical response kits. Both bags have identical features — fluid imperviousness, removable padded dividers, reflective trim, shoulder strap, and multiple pockets — at different internal volumes.

What supplies come with the 'Bag and Kit' version?

The Bag and Kit version (SKU MTR-14032BK-KIT) includes a comprehensive trauma and assessment supply set: CPR masks, Berman airways, manual suction pump, Rappaport stethoscope, adult BP cuff, multi-trauma dressings (2), tourniquets (2), blood stopper bandages, full cervical collar set (3 sizes), extrication tools (seat belt cutter, ring cutter, EMS shear), splints, gauze, ABD pads, bandages, wound care supplies, oral glucose, burn jel, and emergency blanket — 30+ individual supply categories. This makes it a complete first responder bag ready to deploy from the box.

Are the dividers removable for cleaning?

Yes. The internal divider tray with padded dividers is fully removable for cleaning, allowing the interior of the bag to be thoroughly decontaminated between calls or when supplies are being restocked. This removable design also allows the interior volume to be customized — dividers can be rearranged or removed entirely to accommodate differently sized supply packages or equipment.

Why does the MTR Elite Trauma Bag maintain its shape when empty?

The bag features full padded structure throughout — meaning it is reinforced with internal padding that maintains the bag's shape regardless of how full or empty it is. Soft bags without structural support collapse when supplies are removed, making them difficult to access and reorganize efficiently. The MTR Elite's rigid structure keeps all compartments open and accessible at all times, a significant workflow advantage for EMS providers accessing the bag under pressure.
