Rugged Mobility for Intermediate Life Support The R&B Fabrications Intermediate I Trauma Bag is the definitive mid-sized response kit for EMS professionals who demand durability and organization. Featuring a virtually indestructible "Tuff Bottom" molded base, this bag can be dragged across asphalt, set in snow, or dropped on wet roads without compromising the medical supplies inside. Key Features Molded "Tuff Bottom": The solid, easy-to-clean plastic base protects against abrasion, water, and automotive fluids, extending the bag's life significantly. Customizable Organization: Available with a removable, fully padded internal divider set (Option B) that allows you to configure the main compartment for specific diagnostic tools, BVMs, or dressings. Advanced Zipper System: Features heavy-duty YKK #10 zippers installed in a "reversed" configuration to protect the coil from wear and snagging during rapid opening. External Efficiency: Four spacious exterior pockets surround the main compartment, offering segregated storage for high-frequency items like gloves, stethoscopes, and bandages. Specialized Tool Storage: The front pocket unzips to reveal a dedicated workspace with numerous elastic loops and slot pockets for shears, penlights, airways, and forceps. Professional Construction: Built from industrial 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon for maximum resistance to tears and fading. Why It Matters Trauma bags take a beating. Cheap nylon bottoms tear or soak up blood and oil. The Intermediate I solves this with its rigid Tuff Bottom, essentially acting as a "skid plate" for your kit. Combined with the logical pocket layout, it allows providers to maintain a clean, organized, and dry workstation in any environment. How to Use Configure the internal dividers (if equipped) to separate airway, circulation, and diagnostic gear. Use the front "tool pocket" for your assessment kit (BP cuff, scope, light). Pack bulkier dressings in the side pockets. Carry via the reinforced web handles or the adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free entry. Technical Overview The bag measures 18" L x 14" W x 11" H, placing it in the "Intermediate" size class—larger than a basic jump bag but more compact than a full ALS airway kit. The reversed zipper coils are a subtle but critical engineering detail that prevents the most common failure point in EMS bags.
