Anyone know of a source for civilian purchase of mil spec body bags?
I need about a dozen..... The Capt |

The old standby: Major Surplus. And you're in luck - they're on sale! Mil-Spec+ Nylon Body Bag (U.S. Style) $49.95 $39.95  ETA - we actually had to have them on each ambulance per IDPH regs (kind of silly since we don't haul bodies), but then we discovered they make great containment overwraps for victims of accidents involving HazMat. They keep the rigs from getting grossly contaminated... just make sure you don't zip them all the way up.

Like reason, etc. Main reason - as mentioned - is containment of industrial chemical hazards, although it could be extended to include CBRNE. Closing the bag but leaving the face exposed also minimizes further respiratory exposure on the part of the patient. 1) If they are still covered in product that is offgassing (liquid) or becoming airborne (powder) but can be contained to the source (them) so that they can be moved to definitive medical care for proper decontamination. 2) If we have attempted decon with water (gee - a Fire Department using water... whodathunkit?!  *) but the runoff is hazardous. The bag will contain it as well as retain a fair degree of body heat so they don't get hypothermic as well as prevent the back of the rig from become a toxic swimming pool.The use of the bags minimizes contamination of our ambulance (it will still be considered "dirty" but there's a big difference between exposure to a substance and wallowing through it) as well as reduces the airborne contamination of our receiving hopitals. Less gross contamination means more patients get to definitive medical care. * That's a poke at ourselves, not you BTW. |

Interesting, I was looking at the site and found infant bags, that surely was sad.  Do you EMTS, have a plan for CNBRM exposure, as in both dealing with said cases from the protection of emts and patients? Or just everyone is SOL?

Guys, Nothing nefarious about the body bags, just need to add to the preps. 12 covers everyone in the family, plus an extra or two. Low post count because there IS life besides ARFCOM out there 
The Capt You might have a life out side arfcom...but Im not so sure about your poor family.
