When a standard bag is not enough
Medgear’s Standard Body Bag (38 x 94 in) is listed up to 300 lb, and the Standard Body Bag with Handles (38 x 98 in) up to 350 lb. The Bariatric Body Bag is listed at 500+ lb and is 56 in wide and 104 in long: 18 in wider and 10 in longer than the standard bag.
Weight is only half of the decision. A decedent can be inside a standard bag’s weight rating and still be too broad to close the zipper without strain. Choose on body width and weight together, and keep one bariatric bag on hand so you are not improvising during a transfer.

Handling a heavy transfer
Eight handles let a team spread the load instead of concentrating it on two or three grips, which matters on stairs, in tight hallways and when moving from a bed to a cot. Handle count and rated capacity do not replace your facility’s safe-handling policy or lift equipment; use both.
Where a reusable transport option suits the job, see the Heavy Duty Transport Bag (40 x 100 in, 400+ lb). For infectious-disease cases that are also large, ask Medgear which combination suits your protocol.
