The Extra Large Porta Thermal 30 Litre Vaccine Bag (with Trolley)

The key difference between our standard 30 litre vaccine bags and this one is the inclusion of our four-wheel aluminium trolley with a carrying capacity of up to 30kg. Many community and mobile medical teams are reliant on vaccine and cold chain transportation in their role and need to be able to quickly and easily transport large quantities without risk to personal health and safety. The integrated trolley option provides additional carrying capacity in a handy wheelable format which gets great feedback from teams in the field.

Working to keep items such as vaccines and medicines in cold chain for up to extended periods of time, this large capacity, 30 litre vaccine bag is a great alternative to bulky polystyrene vaccine boxes. They are suitable for use by mobile and community nursing teams and feature a multiway handle design for hand grip, shoulder and height-adjustable two-person carrying, in addition to the integrated wheeled trolley.

Our insulated vaccine bags are designed for transporting chilled products and extending the time items remain between 2-8°C. These new updated 2020 versions build on the heritage of our original thermal bag but brings improvements including durability, infection control properties, insulation and handling. These bags are typically used to transport vaccines or other temperature sensitive medicines but can be used for any type of thermal-controlled transportation.

The Porta Thermal Medium 10 Litre Vaccine Bag:

Typically, the 10 litre Portal Thermal Vaccine Bags are used to keep items in cold chain over short distances, or between two locations in a district, for example between wards and clinics, or transport to single-location community projects. They will keep the contents (vaccines or medicines) in cold chain for up to 3hrs40 minutes without additional coolant, without the need for constant refrigeration. If you require longer periods in cold chain, please consider a 20 litre or 30 litre capacity bag, with or without a handy trolley.

In a handy, compact size, the 10 litre cold chain transport bag has a capacity for up to 80HPV packs, or slightly fewer if coolant packs are used to extend the time in cold chain. They are most commonly used for transfer of temperature-sensitive vaccines or medicines between two locations, or for community outreach programmes lasting a few hours.

These bags are in use across the globe with community medical teams and are market-leading in design and format. The bags are durable and field-tested to withstand everyday use, have a wipe-clean, infection control design and material, and are effective at keeping medication and vaccines in cold chain for extended periods of time. The standard 10 litre vaccine bag is designed to be carried by an individual, with a double grip handle or removable shoulder strap option.

The new updated 2020 version builds on the heritage of our original thermal bag but brings improvements including durability, infection control properties, insulation and handling.
