Case Studies

Histology Transportation Bag

The Histology transportation bags are mainly used for hospital theatre specimens, GP’s send very few samples to Histology unlike the other disciplines. UN regulations require 3 layers of packaging for internal transport; 1st layer, harder outer casing i.e. metal trolley or padded bag, 2nd layer of Packaging, the Midco Transportation bag and 3rd layer of packaging, specimen bag (some hospitals count the 1st layer as the pots/buckets). Specimens from theatres will arrive in large, medium or small buckets, or the traditional specimen pots (hence up to 3 sizes of bags). The buckets contain formaldehyde which is prone to leaking due to the ill-fitting lids. Midco bags come printed with the formalin symbols and a pocket on the outside of the bag keeping the request form dry in the event of leakage.

Pharmacy - Patient's Own Medicine Bag

Patient’s Own Medicine bags, also known as the green bag or POM bag, are supplied to the Ambulance drivers and sometimes to the A & E departments. Primarily the function of the Patient’s Own Medicine bag is for when the ambulances are called out on an emergency, the bag is given to a family member to gather the patient’s existing medication in the home. The medication could be prescribed drugs as well as herbal or contraceptive medicines. The reason for this is when the patient is admitted to the hospital, it is important for the Pharmacist or the doctor at the patient’s bedside to see a full list of the Patient’s medication to make a true assessment. A & E departments can also issue these bags to patients that are admitted onto the wards.

Above examples are bespoke bags and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
