Lightning-X Modular ALS Bag

What size oxygen cylinder does the Lightning-X LXMB65 Modular ALS Bag hold?

The LXMB65 is designed to hold a D-size oxygen cylinder with regulator attached. The cylinder sits in a dedicated side-compartment accessible via an exterior zipper — meaning providers can slide the cylinder out and connect delivery tubing without opening the main compartment or displacing any medical supplies. A foam divider sleeve above the O2 compartment provides additional organization or can be removed entirely for top-access to the cylinder.

What are the dimensions of the Lightning-X Modular ALS Bag (LXMB65)?

The LXMB65 measures 20" L × 14" W × 9" H. The main hold features removable Velcro-secured modular dividers for customizable organization, and includes four color-coded quick-grab pouches with transparent windows. Four external compartments, one mesh flap pocket, and elastic airway loops provide additional staged storage on the exterior. Available in Red (LXMB65-RED), Orange (LXMB65-ORG), and Blue (LXMB65-BLUE).

What is the bottom material on the Lightning-X LXMB65, and why does it matter?

The LXMB65 features a diamond-embossed PVC/nylon reinforcement cover on the entire bottom that extends 3 inches up all four sides. This material provides abrasion resistance, water resistance, and impermeability to foreign fluids — preventing contaminated liquids from seeping into the bag from ambulance floors, roadway surfaces, or trauma scenes. The textured diamond emboss adds structural support and anti-slip grip when the bag is placed on smooth surfaces.

Can the Lightning-X LXMB65 zippers be locked?

Yes. The LXMB65 uses extra-large, heavy-duty two-way zippers that can be locked using a standard padlock or zipper lock through the pull tabs. This feature is important for EMS agencies carrying controlled substances, who must maintain compartment accountability under DEA and state pharmacy board requirements. Locking capability allows the bag to be secured during transport or vehicle staging without limiting scene access during an actual call.

How are the four color-coded pouches used in the Lightning-X Modular ALS Bag?

The four color-coded quick-grab pouches with transparent windows are designed for protocol-based pre-staging of high-priority ALS supplies. Each pouch inserts into the main compartment via Velcro and can be extracted as a complete unit during a call — allowing a partner to immediately begin working with a pre-staged category of supplies while the primary provider manages the patient. The transparent windows allow contents identification at a glance without opening the pouch, reducing scene search time.
