Roundfin RD-904-3

Hospital mortuary departments and NHS trust infection-control procurement represent the primary institutional contexts for the Roundfin RD-904-3 Dead Body Bag. The wider 1000 mm format accommodates a greater range of adult cadaver sizes, and the six carrying handles support compliant manual handling during cadaver transfer, eliminating the need for a mechanical lift for every movement. Medigear.uk supplies the RD-904-3 to NHS trusts and can provide CE documentation for procurement compliance and medical device governance review.

Forensic pathology departments, major incident response teams, and public health emergency functions benefit from the RD-904-3's heavier-duty 0.3 mm construction and six-handle carry configuration. The 0.3 mm PVC material provides enhanced resistance to abrasion and mechanical stress that bags can experience during scene recovery in non-clinical environments. The integrity of cadaver containment across the full forensic chain of custody is a governance requirement that this material specification supports. Medigear.uk can confirm supply terms for forensic service procurement frameworks.

Mass-casualty disaster response and pandemic emergency preparedness functions benefit from the RD-904-3's six-handle design in high-throughput body recovery scenarios. The configuration reduces the physical demand on individual personnel during repeated cadaver transfers and supports more dignified handling where lifting equipment is unavailable. The 300-unit MOQ and 12-unit carton, measuring 42 × 39 × 40 cm, support bulk procurement for emergency stockpiling. Medigear.uk can discuss volume pricing for government and civil resilience buyers.

Funeral directors, repatriation specialists, and private mortuary operators who work with larger cadavers or need a handle-equipped bag for manual transfer can find the RD-904-3 available through Medigear.uk. The 0.3 mm thickness and six handles provide a more robust specification than the entry-level RD-904-1 for operations where mechanical handling is not always available.

Six Carrying Handles for Safe Six-Person Manual Transfer

The six handles integrated into the RD-904-3 enable a coordinated six-person carry of the loaded bag, with three operators on each side, during transfer between examination rooms, storage areas, and transport vehicles. This handle configuration reduces the physical demand on individual personnel and provides a more stable and dignified transfer method than improvised approaches used with handle-free bags. The six-handle standard is the recognised configuration for manual carry of cadaver bags in mortuary, mass-casualty, and disaster response protocols. Medigear.uk can advise on compatible manual handling guidance for the RD-904-3.

Heavier-Duty 0.3 mm PVC for Enhanced Containment Integrity

The 0.3 mm PVC thickness of the RD-904-3 provides greater resistance to punctures, tears, and fluid leakage than the 0.2 mm thickness of the RD-904-1 and RD-904-6 variants. This enhanced material specification is relevant for applications where the bag may be subjected to abrasion and mechanical stress during scene recovery in non-clinical outdoor environments, or where operational protocols require a higher level of containment assurance. For standard clinical mortuary use, either material thickness specification may be appropriate — Medigear.uk can advise on the right choice for your application.

1000 mm Width for Greater Cadaver Size Accommodation

The 1000 mm bag width provides 100 mm of additional clearance compared to the 900 mm models, accommodating a wider range of adult cadaver sizes, including larger body types that would be difficult to close securely in a standard 900 mm bag. The additional width also increases material overlap at the C-zipper closure line, thereby supporting the integrity of the seal under load during transport and transfer. Medigear.uk can advise on which width specification is most appropriate for the range of cadaver sizes encountered in your specific operational context.

CE Rated for NHS and Institutional Procurement

The CE rating for the RD-904-3 has been confirmed, meeting the baseline conformity requirement for cadaver containment products in NHS trust procurement frameworks and similar institutional and emergency management purchasing processes. Medigear.uk holds CE documentation and can provide it to procurement officers and compliance teams at the due diligence stage, supporting timely procurement authorisation in hospital, forensic, and emergency management purchasing contexts.

200 kg Confirmed Load Capacity

The RD-904-3 shares the 200 kg confirmed load capacity of the other models in the RD-904 range, covering adult cadavers across the full weight range encountered in standard mortuary, forensic, and emergency management operations. Medigear.uk can confirm whether the load capacity rating is supported by independent test documentation if required for procurement compliance.

Full-Length C-Zipper for Secure and Resealable Containment

The C-zipper closure runs the full length of the RD-904-3. It provides a secure, resealable seal that can be opened for examination or identification and re-closed before transport or storage. The resealable format is a practical advantage in forensic and mortuary contexts where a cadaver may need to be accessed multiple times throughout the processing cycle — allowing the bag to remain in service throughout the procedure without replacement. Medigear.uk can confirm C-zipper specification and closure security details on request.

12-Unit Carton Format for Efficient Bulk Procurement

The 12-unit-per-carton packaging, measuring 42 × 39 × 40 cm and weighing 24 KG per carton, is configured for warehouse storage and pallet freight. Fewer units per carton than the RD-904-1 (20 units) reflect the wider, heavier format, but the carton dimensions remain compatible with standard racking configurations. The 300-unit MOQ, equivalent to 25 cartons, is appropriate for institutional procurement by NHS trusts, forensic services, and emergency management agencies. Medigear.uk can confirm volume pricing for orders above the 300-unit MOQ.

Wide-Format Specification for Forensic and Mass-Casualty Deployment

The RD-904-3's combination of 1000 mm width, six handles, and 0.3 mm material thickness makes it the most appropriate model in the RD-904 range for forensic scene recovery, mass-casualty disaster response, and any application that requires both a wide cadaver bay and six-person manual carry simultaneously. For NHS mortuary departments dealing with the full range of adult cadaver sizes, the RD-904-3 provides a single-specification solution that accommodates all cases without the need to maintain both standard and wide-format bag stock. Medigear.uk can discuss mixed-model supply arrangements across the RD-904 range for buyers with multiple specifications.

Available Alongside RD-904-1 and RD-904-6 in a Three-Model Range

The RD-904-3 is part of a three-model dead body bag range from Roundfin, available through Medigear.uk. The RD-904-1 (900 mm, no handles, 0.2 mm, 0.9 kg) suits standard-size cases without handle requirements. The RD-904-3 (1000 mm, six handles, 0.3 mm, 1.8 kg) provides the widest format and heaviest material. The RD-904-6 (900 mm, four/six handles, 0.2 mm, 1.2 kg) offers handles in the standard width. Medigear.uk can supply mixed orders across all three variants and can advise on the appropriate allocation split for operations with varied requirements.

Material: PVC, 0.3 mm Thickness

The RD-904-3 is fabricated from PVC at 0.3 mm material thickness, the heaviest specification in the RD-904 range. This thickness provides enhanced resistance to puncture, tear, and fluid leakage compared to the 0.2 mm variants and is the appropriate specification for heavy-duty mortuary, forensic, and field recovery use. Medigear.uk can provide the full material specification sheet on request.

Dimensions: 2200 × 1000 mm

The 2200 × 1000 mm bag dimensions provide the widest format in the RD-904 range and accommodate larger adult cadaver sizes with material overlap at the C-zipper closure line. Medigear.uk can advise on the 900 mm width variants (RD-904-1 and RD-904-6) for buyers whose requirements do not require the 1000 mm width.

Colour: Black/White

The standard colour specification is Black/White, consistent with the professional cadaver bag convention in the UK and international mortuary practice.

Zipper: C Zipper

The C-zipper provides a full-length, secure, resealable closure that can be opened for cadaver access and re-closed for transport or continued storage. C-zipper is the recognised standard for professional cadaver bags in mortuary, forensic, and emergency management contexts.

Handles: 6

Six carrying handles are integrated into the bag body at evenly distributed positions, enabling coordinated six-person manual carry of the loaded bag. The handles are fabricated from PVC-compatible material and decontaminatable with standard mortuary cleaning agents.

Load Capacity: 200 kg

The confirmed load capacity is 200 kg, covering adult cadavers across the full weight range encountered in standard mortuary and emergency management operations.

Weight per Unit: 1.8 kg

Each bag weighs 1.8 kg, reflecting the wider format and heavier 0.3 mm material specification compared to the 0.9 kg RD-904-1. The 1.8 kg unit weight remains manageable for field deployment but requires more storage volume per unit than the lighter model.

Packing: 12 pcs/carton

Each carton contains 12 units, with dimensions of 42 × 39 × 40 cm and a weight of 24 kg. The carton dimensions are compatible with standard warehouse racking and pallet freight configurations.

MOQ: 300 Units

The minimum order quantity is 300 units, representing 25 cartons. Volume pricing above the MOQ and emergency supply frameworks is negotiable through Medigear.uk for government, NHS, and institutional buyers.

CE Rating

The CE rating has been confirmed for the RD-904-3. Documentation is available from the Medigear.uk procurement team on request for NHS and institutional procurement compliance review.

Available as Part of the Three-Model RD-904 Range

The RD-904-3 is available alongside the RD-904-1 (900 mm, no handles, 0.2 mm) and RD-904-6 (900 mm, 4/6 handles, 0.2 mm) through Medigear.uk. Mixed orders across the three models can be discussed with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Applications: Mortuary, Forensic, Disaster Response, and Repatriation

The RD-904-3 is designed for use across hospital mortuary operations, forensic cadaver management, mass-casualty disaster and pandemic emergency response, funeral services, and repatriation — covering the full range of institutional and field cadaver containment contexts. The wide 1000 mm format and six-handle configuration make it specifically suited to applications where both larger cadaver accommodation and coordinated manual carry are required simultaneously. Medigear.uk can advise on the most appropriate RD-904 variant for specific deployment scenarios.
