Medical bags
The liberal nurse gives care in the home of his patients. A well-designed nursing medical bag enables the nurse to be well organised and therefore to deal professionally with all the situations she or he may encounter during daily rounds.
Which nursing medical bag to choose?
The nursing medical bag can also appeal to general practitioners making home visits because of its many advantages...
Choose a case adapted to your needs in terms of capacity and carrying mode (handles, shoulder strap or straps for backpack-style carrying).

A featherweight

An affordable price
For a reasonable price, you can find nursing bags or cases with an excellent quality ratio, such as the Elite bags nursing bags or cases. The nursing and medical luggages are still more affordable than a leather case or doctor's bag.
The nursing cases are easy to clean due to their resistant and waterproof fabrics.
Safe transport
Their padded material and efficient compartmentalisation where each object will have its own space allow sensitive material to be transported in complete safety. Some nursing cases are isothermal or even have an isothermal compartment where an isothermal storage can be added if necessary for medicines that need to be stored at certain temperatures.
An "All season" medical bag
Made from waterproof material and fabrics, the nursing bag or the medical case is perfect whatever the weather. No worries in case of heavy showers during your daily rounds, which is a real advantage if you are on scooter or on bike.
