Medical Case & Bags

Why Use An Equipment Bag Or Case?

A few years ago, a survey in Nursing Times found that over 30% of hospital nurses spent around an hour of a typical shift tracking down missing equipment. Among the most common items going AWOL were thermometers, consumables such as dressings and other first aid items, plus drip stands and mattresses. If you’re a doctor or medical student, while the lost items may differ, the story will still resonate – so having a protective bag or case in which to corral your diagnostic essentials is a good step on the road to the nirvana of Kit-loss Zero.

What To Look For When Choosing Your Bag

• Protective outer material that is water-resistant and designed to shield the contents from knocks
• Interior padding and lining for additional shock absorption
• Multiple internal storage sections – look out for zipped compartments, net/mesh pockets and elasticated loops to take a range of both larger and smaller items
• Heavy-duty fastenings that won’t buckle or break
• Comfortable strap/handles and lightweight, compact construction for ergonomic portability
• At least a 1-year warranty for peace of mind.
