Quick Overview

The R&B Oxygen Roll Bag is a professional-grade portable oxygen cylinder carrier used by EMS, fire-rescue, law enforcement, and industrial response personnel to transport and deploy Size C, D, and Jumbo D oxygen cylinders safely in field conditions.

The bag is engineered around a single operational requirement: the cylinder and regulator must arrive on scene fully intact and ready to deliver oxygen. Its Cordura chassis with high-density foam absorbs impact from drops and collisions, while the integrated padded regulator flap shields the gauge, stem, and T-handle from direct contact. A vinyl-coated base prevents moisture wicking from wet or saturated surfaces, ensuring readiness across unpredictable environments.

Cylinder retention is addressed through two internal adjustable tie-down straps that anchor the cylinder to the chassis, eliminating shift during transport and preventing a projectile hazard in vehicle collisions. The continuous webbing handle system runs completely underneath the bag as a single piece, eliminating seam failure risk under load. A detachable shoulder strap enables hands-free carry, allowing operators to maintain three points of contact on stairwells while carrying additional response equipment simultaneously.

The supply organization system includes six internal pockets and elastic loops sized for non-rebreather masks, nasal cannulas, and oropharyngeal airways. A removable inner liner supports decontamination protocol after exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. The 3M Scotchlite reflective trim enhances operator conspicuity during nighttime or low-light roadway incidents, integrating passive safety into the carrier's design.

Field Application Steps

1. OPEN THE BAG: Unzip the main compartment of the R&B Oxygen Roll Bag completely to prepare for cylinder installation.

2. INSTALL AND VERIFY THE CYLINDER: Place a verified-full oxygen cylinder, Size C, D, or Jumbo D, into the main compartment. Attach the regulator and wrench if required, briefly crack the cylinder valve to confirm function and pressure, then close the valve fully.

3. SECURE THE CYLINDER: Route both internal tie-down straps over the body of the cylinder and cinch them down tightly. Shake the loaded bag to confirm zero movement of the cylinder inside. This is a critical safety step. An unsecured cylinder is a projectile hazard during transport or vehicle collision.

4. PROTECT THE REGULATOR: Fold the integrated padded regulator flap over the entire regulator assembly. Confirm the gauge, stem, and T-handle are fully covered before closing the bag.

5. STOCK MEDICAL SUPPLIES: Load the internal pockets and elastic loops with a standard complement, including at least two non-rebreather masks, two nasal cannulas, and a size run of oropharyngeal airways.

6. CLOSE AND RIG THE BAG: Zip the main compartment closed. Attach the shoulder strap to the D-rings and adjust to the correct length for the operator.

7. TRANSPORT TO PATIENT: Grasp the main webbing handles to lift the bag. For hands-free movement on stairs or in confined spaces, sling the bag over the shoulder using the shoulder strap, maintaining three points of contact on handrails as needed.

8. POSITION AND ACCESS ON SCENE: Place the bag on the floor next to the patient. The cylindrical shape and reinforced base provide a stable platform. Unzip the bag and fold back the regulator flap to expose the regulator assembly.

9. DEPLOY OXYGEN: Open the cylinder valve. Select the appropriate delivery device from its designated internal pocket. Attach tubing to the regulator's Christmas tree port, apply the device to the patient, and adjust the flow rate per medical protocol.
