Safe handling of deceased individuals requires containment that protects both staff and the dignity of the person. The D-shaped zipper opens fully along the top panel, allowing mortuary technicians to position remains without the awkward manipulation required by side-opening designs. Once closed, the interlocking zipper teeth create a secure seal that prevents accidental opening during transport on trolleys or in vehicles.

LDPE material provides the flexibility needed to conform to body shape while maintaining structural integrity under load. Unlike rigid materials that can crack in cold storage, LDPE remains pliable at refrigeration temperatures. The heat-sealed seams eliminate stitch holes that could allow fluid escape, creating a continuous barrier that contains biological matter throughout storage and transport. This leak-proof construction protects staff from exposure and prevents contamination of vehicles, equipment and facilities.

The opaque white material serves a practical and compassionate purpose. Staff can move deceased individuals through corridors and public areas without exposing remains to view. For families who wish to accompany their loved one during transfers, the professional appearance of the bag provides a measure of dignity during an already difficult time. The four size options ensure appropriate fit across all cases, from the smallest neonatal bag for stillbirth and infant loss to the bariatric option that safely contains individuals up to 250 kg.

Traditional PVC (vinyl) body bags have been the industry standard for decades, but LDPE offers significant advantages for modern facilities. LDPE provides equivalent puncture resistance and fluid containment without the chlorine content that creates toxic emissions during incineration. For facilities with environmental policies or crematorium partnerships, LDPE bags simplify disposal compliance. The material remains flexible at low temperatures where PVC can become stiff and difficult to handle. LDPE also resists chemical degradation from embalming fluids and hospital-grade disinfectants, maintaining integrity throughout the handling process. While PVC may offer marginally lower unit costs, the environmental and handling benefits of LDPE make it the preferred choice for healthcare facilities, funeral homes and emergency services prioritising both staff safety and sustainable procurement.

Yes. All seams are heat-sealed rather than stitched, creating a continuous barrier with no needle holes. The D-shaped zipper features interlocking teeth that prevent fluid escape when properly closed. LDPE material is inherently fluid-resistant and maintains its barrier properties throughout refrigerated storage and transport.

The bariatric body bag (2794 × 1828 mm) is designed for individuals up to 250 kg. The heavy-duty LDPE construction and reinforced zipper handle the additional weight without risk of seam failure or zipper separation during lifting and transport.

Yes. The adult and bariatric sizes are dimensioned to fit standard mortuary trolleys and refrigeration unit shelving used in Australian hospitals and funeral homes. The flexible LDPE material conforms to equipment contours without bunching or overhang issues.

LDPE is suitable for incineration and produces fewer toxic emissions than PVC alternatives. The material is chlorine-free, which eliminates the dioxin concerns associated with vinyl body bags. Check with your crematorium or waste disposal facility for any specific requirements regarding zipper removal.

Store body bags in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. LDPE maintains its properties for extended periods when stored at room temperature. Avoid storing near heat sources or chemicals that could degrade the material. Bags are individually packed to maintain hygiene until use.

LDPE offers equivalent strength and fluid containment without the chlorine content that creates toxic emissions during incineration. LDPE also remains more flexible at refrigeration temperatures, making handling easier. For facilities with environmental policies or crematorium partnerships, LDPE simplifies disposal compliance.

These bags are designed for use with transfer trolleys and do not include integrated handles. For manual lifting, use proper transfer equipment such as body boards or stretchers. The flexible LDPE material allows the bag to be gripped securely along its length when positioning on equipment.
