Standard bag or pandemic bag?
The Standard Body Bag is 10 mil medical-grade LDPE with a U-shaped heavy-duty zipper. Choose the pandemic bag when your infection prevention and control team specifies a sealed closure and enhanced barrier film for a case, or when you are building an outbreak reserve.
What this page does not claim
Medgear does not state a test standard or third-party certification for the barrier performance of this bag on its website. If your procurement policy requires documentation, ask for it when you request a quote and use only what is supplied. Handling of remains in an outbreak should follow your infection prevention and control policy and current direction from the Public Health Agency of Canada and your provincial public-health authority.
Stock before the demand
Demand for these bags tracks public-health news, and a surge in orders is the worst time to be sourcing. Because the bag is made in Ontario there is no ocean-freight leg or customs clearance for Canadian buyers. For how many to hold and what to pair them with, see the emergency management planning page.
