Maximum Regulator Protection for Mobile Oxygen Designed to protect the most vulnerable part of your oxygen system, the R&B Portable Oxygen Cylinder Bag features a specialized "Padded Head" compartment lined with 1/2-inch high-density closed-cell foam. This armored hood shields your delicate regulator and gauge from impact damage during transport, drops, or rapid deployment.
Key Features
- Impact-Resistant Head: A dedicated padded hood surrounds the regulator and control valve, preventing gauge breakage if the bag is dropped or bumped.
- Universal "D" Fit: Main body (23.25" L) is perfectly sized to house a standard "D" cylinder with the regulator attached.
- Integrated Cot Mount: The heavy-duty shoulder strap features built-in hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing you to hang the bag securely from an ambulance cot rail during patient transport.
- Airway Organization: Includes a spacious side pocket (10.5" x 4.5" x 3") equipped with internal elastic loops to organize up to seven oral airways (OPA).
- Secure Retention: An internal Velcro® collar wraps around the cylinder neck, locking the tank in place to prevent it from sliding out even if the bag is inverted.
- High Visibility: Constructed from professional-grade Cordura® nylon with 3M™ Scotchlite™ silver reflective trim for safety in low-light environments.
Why It Matters A broken regulator means no oxygen for your patient. Standard bags often leave the metal gauge exposed to door frames and pavement. This bag’s "Padded Head" design offers insurance for your equipment, while the integrated cot straps ensure you never have to lay the tank between a patient's legs or risk it rolling around the ambulance floor.
How to Use Slide your "D" cylinder into the main sleeve and secure the internal neck strap. Zip the padded hood over the regulator. Load the side pocket with a non-rebreather mask, nasal cannula, and a set of oral airways. Sling it over your shoulder for the walk to the scene, then use the strap’s Velcro loops to hang it on the gurney rail for transport.
Technical Overview The bag utilizes a cylindrical design with a specific focus on regulator safety. The side pocket is gusseted to hold bulky items like BVMs or tubing without compressing the airway loops.
