Body Bag with Eight Handles - Heavy Duty PVC, 2080 x 900mm

A body bag in heavy duty PVC, 2080 x 900mm, with a zipper running on three sides and eight integral handles. The three-sided zip opens the bag wide so a person can be placed rather than manoeuvred, and the eight handles let a transfer be shared between several people and carried level. Both details exist for the same reason: to make the handling controlled and dignified.

Choosing a body bag: what to check before ordering

A few specifications matter operationally and are worth confirming with your supplier rather than inferring from the material. Ask for the maximum weight rating and whether the handles are load rated, since eight handles indicate where to hold rather than how much can be lifted. Ask how the seams are constructed and whether the closure is protected, if fluid containment is part of your requirement - heavy duty PVC is durable and fluid resistant, but that is not the same as a tested leak-proof specification. Confirm whether identification tags or a label pocket are required by your procedure and whether they are supplied separately. And check your own protocol on single use versus cleaning and reuse, since that varies by organisation and by the circumstances of the transfer.
