Our Collection of Medical Bags
What Are Medical Bags?
Like specimen bags, medical bags are designed to meet the specific requirements of the healthcare and medical industries. Their main purpose is to store, transport, and dispose of a wide range of medical materials, including clinical specimens, pharmaceuticals, medical instruments, and regulated waste.
Unlike general-purpose bags, medical bags are designed with features that comply with healthcare standards and hygiene requirements. They also follow the strict safety standards that characterize clinical environments where contamination risks and regulatory requirements are high.
Our Medical Bags
Our medical bags are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), both of which provide puncture resistance and durable moisture protection. The bags protect their contents from any external contaminants and keep their integrity during handling or shipping. We offer our medical bags in multiple thicknesses: 1.25 mil, 2 mil, 4 mil, and in various sizes for different healthcare needs.
You will find a range of designs to meet specific medical settings and needs. For example, we carry reclosable zip-lock closures for secure sealing and protection of sensitive or temperature-controlled items. We also offer printed labels, such as “Refrigerate,” for easy handling and storage identification. Larger bags, such as the red infectious waste liners, are used to separate and dispose of regulated materials and biohazard waste responsibly, and help facilities comply with health and safety regulations.
Our medical bags are reliable, easy to use, and practical. Healthcare facilities and laboratories use them extensively for their medical needs, as the right medical bag can speed up workflows, minimize contamination risk, and help ensure the safe shipping of sensitive supplies or waste.
Whatever your healthcare bag needs, our medical bags provide a safe, dependable solution for any healthcare setting. Why settle for another bag? Contact us today to find out more and discuss your needs. We offer discounts for bulk orders, and orders over $799.99 qualify for free shipping.
Everything You Need to Know about Medical Bags
What are medical bags used for?
Our healthcare bags are designed to transport, store, and manage sensitive medical items, including clinical specimens, pharmaceuticals, instruments, and regulated hazardous waste, in healthcare settings. Their designs fully support medical hygiene, safety, and organized handling, helping medical facilities both comply with regulations and protect staff, patients, and materials during routine and specialized medical operations.
What materials are medical bags made of?
Packaging Friends medical bags are made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). These specialized materials have excellent strength, moisture resistance, and puncture protection. They are ideal for all types of medical storage and transport under demanding conditions.
Are medical bags safe for clinical waste?
Yes, they are. Our medical bags are designed with healthcare safety and compliance in mind, and certain types, such as infectious waste liners (red bags), are specifically made for clinical or regulated waste disposal. Their durable construction and color coding help facilities separate and handle waste safely and in compliance with health regulations.
Can medical waste bags be reused?
Only certain bags, such as reclosable zip bags for storage, may be cleaned and reused depending on the use case and hygiene requirements. Bags used for waste or biological materials are single-use only to prevent contamination. You should always follow facility and regulatory guidelines.
How do I choose the right medical bag for my application?
The right medical bag depends on the type of contents you want to store or transport. Factors to consider include bag size, thickness (in mils), closure type, and labeling requirements. Reclosable bags work for specimens or supplies. For infectious or regulated waste, you will need thicker, color-coded liners, which are used for safe disposal and compliance.
Do medical bags come in different sizes?
Yes. We supply medical bags in a variety of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate a range of needs, from small specimen bags and zip-seal storage bags to large liners for infectious or regulated waste. Whatever your needs, we have the right fit for each medical task.
