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 in conjunction with cooling elements or cold packs. In combination 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. The thermal properties have been certified by the globally recognised testing body TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH.
We have tested our products extensively with two types of cooling elements and under different environmental conditions. The following tables provide an overview of the performance of the individual transport bags under the specified conditions:
