MTR Event Bag

What makes the MTR Event Bag different from a standard EMS trauma bag?

The MTR Event Bag is specifically designed for high-patient-volume scenarios like sporting events, concerts, and mass casualty incidents. It features deep STUFF pockets for bulky items, multiple exterior pouches for quick-access staging, and enough internal volume to hold an oxygen cylinder and operate the valve without removing the tank — a feature not found on standard medium trauma bags.

Can the MTR Event Bag hold an oxygen tank?

Yes. The MTR Event Bag is engineered to hold an oxygen tank and regulator in its main compartment, with sufficient internal space to turn the cylinder valve on and off without removing the tank from the bag. This saves critical time during patient assessment and reduces the risk of equipment drops in active patient care situations.

How much does the MTR Event Bag weigh empty?

The MTR Event Bag (MTR-14041) weighs 8.0 lb when empty. This reflects the robust, high-capacity construction that makes it suitable for event EMS operations where a large supply load-out is needed.

What type of zippers does the MTR Event Bag use?

The MTR Event Bag features extra-grip YKK zippers throughout. These zippers are designed for fast, reliable one-handed operation — critical when managing multiple patients or wearing gloves during active patient care.

Who is the MTR Event Bag best suited for?

The MTR Event Bag is best suited for EMS teams providing medical coverage at large public events including sporting competitions, marathons, concerts, and festivals. It is also well-suited for industrial EMS, mass casualty incident staging, and any operation where a high-volume, well-organized medical bag is required.
