Expanded Capacity for Advanced Life Support The R&B Fabrications Intermediate II Trauma Bag is the larger, more capable brother to the standard Intermediate I, designed specifically for ALS providers and paramedics who need to carry extensive airway, IV, and diagnostic gear. Built on the legendary "Tuff Bottom" chassis, this bag offers a virtually indestructible foundation that withstands the harshest response environments—from wet roadways to oil-slicked crash scenes.
Key Features
- Molded "Tuff Bottom": The integrated hard plastic base acts as a skid plate, making the bag waterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to automotive fluids and sharp debris.
- Increased Volume: Offers expanded dimensions (22" L x 14.5" W x 11.5" H) to accommodate larger resuscitation equipment, drug boxes, and intubation kits.
- Reversed YKK Zippers: Equipped with #10 heavy-duty nylon zippers installed "inside out" to protect the coil from abrasion, extending the life of the bag significantly.
- Triple Configuration Options: Available as an open cavity (Empty), with adjustable padded dividers, or with the specialized "Z-Pak" insert system for modular organization.
- High-Efficiency Layout: Features four large exterior pockets and a specialized front workstation pocket with elastic loops for shears, penlights, and hemostats.
- Mission-Ready Durability: Constructed from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon to resist fading, tearing, and mildew.
Why It Matters When you upgrade from BLS to ALS, or simply need to carry more than just basic bandages, standard bags run out of room. The Intermediate II provides that critical extra space without becoming a massive duffel. Its rigid structure and Tuff Bottom mean you can drop it in the snow or mud and your sterile supplies stay dry and protected.
How to Use Choose the configuration that matches your protocol. Use the Empty version for custom modular pouches. Select the Dividers version to separate BVMs from fluids. Opt for the "Z" PAK version for a tiered, fold-out organization system. Pack frequently used trauma dressings in the end pockets and keep your assessment tools in the front organizer for rapid access.
Technical Overview The Intermediate II (A300X series) is physically larger than the Intermediate I (A500X series). The reversed zipper design is a hallmark of the Pacific Coast Series, specifically engineered to prevent zipper failure in sandy or gritty environments.
