Versapak medical transport bags are manufactured with protective, padded insulation to provide hospitals, laboratories, and other medical facilities with a safe and convenient way to transport temperature-sensitive blood and laboratory samples.
Our medical transport bags have been tested at various ambient temperatures and can maintain a temperature of 2-8 °C over a longer period of time when used in conjunction with cooling elements or ice packs. When used in conjunction with a PCM battery, our transport bags for blood can maintain a temperature of 15-25 °C over a longer period of time.
The Versapak medical transport bags listed below have undergone rigorous testing and inspection throughout the manufacturing process. Their thermal properties have been certified by the globally recognized testing agency TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH.
We have extensively tested our products with two types of cooling elements and under various environmental conditions. The following tables provide an overview of the performance of each transport bag under the specified conditions:
