What are the dimensions of the Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag?
The Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag (EM13 series) measures approximately 20" × 13" × 10" and weighs about 4 lbs (1.8 kg) empty. The oversized main compartment includes adjustable dividers for custom supply organization. Five external pockets — including a transparent top, front, two side, and one back pocket — provide additional staged access to frequently used items without opening the main compartment.
What colors does the Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag come in?
The LARGE EMS Bag is available in four high-visibility colors: Red (EM13.003), Orange (EM13.026), Yellow (EM13.052), and Blue (EM13.012). These high-visibility colors are designed for EMS and first responder environments where quick bag identification and scene visibility are important. The colors are consistent with common EMS color-coding conventions used by agencies for supply type or response tier identification.
What material is the Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag made from?
The bag is constructed from 600D polyester with PVC backing for moderate fluid resistance and abrasion protection. The bottom panel is reinforced with tarpaulin material for added durability at the highest-contact surface. Heavy-duty metal zippers provide reliable performance through thousands of open/close cycles. The hi-visibility outer materials maintain color brightness for scene visibility.
How is the transparent top pocket on the Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag useful?
The transparent external top pocket serves as an instant contents-identification window — providers can see at a glance which supplies are loaded in the top section without opening any compartments. It is commonly used to store packing lists, protocol reference cards, medication labels, or frequently accessed disposables. The bag also includes an external card/ID holder on the front for agency identification or crew assignment during multi-unit responses.
What fits inside the Elite Bags LARGE EMS Bag for ALS or BLS operations?
The oversized main compartment with adjustable dividers accommodates a full BLS or moderate ALS loadout. Typical contents include a BVM (adult/pediatric), blood pressure cuff and stethoscope, pulse oximeter, glucometer, IV catheters and tubing, 500 mL IV bag, airway adjuncts (NPA/OPA), bandaging and dressings, and a tourniquet. ALS users can add cardiac monitoring electrodes and medication drawers using the elastic retention bands in the front pocket. The five external pockets stage frequently accessed items — gloves, shears, O2 masks — for zero-delay access on scene.
