Abstract: A medical bag comprises a flexible shell and having opening and a zip fastener for closing the opening. The zip fastener includes two sliders arranged to close the zip from opposing ends in a direction towards each other along the length of the zip fastener. The sliders are movable between an open configuration in which they are located at opposing ends of the zip fastener and a closed configuration in which they are located at a stop position at the centre of the zip fastener. The bag further includes a pair of positioned at a common location along the length of the zip coincident with the stop position of the sliders. The handles are located on opposing sides of the zip fastener and are arranged to enable a person to impart forces in opposing directions away from the zip transverse to the length of the zip to open the zip when the zip is closed with the sliders located at the stop position to enable the bag to be ripped open in a very rapid manner to access the medical equipment in time critical situations.

Abstract: A storage device for carrying medical equipment having an outer shell that is reconfigurable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The outer shell includes first and second side panels and a fastener is provided for holding the outer shell in the closed configuration. A first support panel has support elements on its inner and outer surfaces for securing medical equipment to the first support panel. In a first configuration the first support panel covers the inner surface of the first side panel and the outer surface of the first support panel is outwardly facing and accessible and the first support panel is pivotable to a second configuration in which the inner surface of the first side panel is uncovered and both the inner surface of the first side panel and the inner surface of the first support panel are outwardly facing and accessible.
