New, State-Of-The-Art Body Bag Minimizes The Spread Of Bacteria And Virus

LA VERNE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Paper Pak Industries, a manufacturer of innovative emergency readiness products, has developed APLS^® Body Guard Bio, a disposable, highly absorbent body bag that minimizes the spread of bacteria and virus while protecting service providers and the deceased.

APLS Body Guard Bio features a rugged, external nylon shell, watertight zipper, thermal seals and finished edges that create a leak-proof inner chamber that contains contaminated and potentially contagious blood and bodily fluids.   

Paper Pak Industries Chief Executive Officer and President Ron Jensen noted, "After years of manufacturing a wide range of emergency readiness products for militaries and medical facilities around the world, our team of experts developed APLS Body Guard Bio in response to the growing threat of bacteria and virus. This state-of-the-art body bag protects service providers from bacteria and virus that are spread by handling deceased individuals. In addition to a leak-proof inner chamber that minimizes the spread of bacteria and virus, APLS Body Guard Bio features a highly absorbent core with an anti-microbial that serves to contain offensive odors."

Extreme environmental conditions do not affect the APLS Body Guard Bio bag's ability to minimize the spread of bacteria and virus. The bag's rugged external nylon shell can be decontaminated several times with bleach and other usual cleaning agents without losing the bag's protective properties. Available in a range of sizes and colors, APLS Body Guard Bio is designed to work independently or with a stretcher for staging, storing, and transporting contaminated remains.
