Traumatic amputations from machinery, power tools, and vehicle incidents do occur in Australian workplaces — and how the amputated part is handled in the minutes after the injury directly affects the outcome of surgical reimplantation. The correct procedure is to place the part in a clean bag, seal it, and place that bag in a second container with ice — not to place the part directly on ice, and not to use an improvised container. These bags are the correct first step in that chain.

A pack of 3 individually sealed, durable, leak-resistant amputated parts bags with printed identification labels and instructions. A required inclusion in WHS-compliant first aid kits for high-risk workplaces — and an item that most kits do not carry until it is specifically added.

• Correct containment for amputated parts — supports reimplantation outcomes Correct handling of an amputated part significantly affects whether surgical reimplantation is possible. The part must be placed in a clean, sealed bag — not wrapped in a cloth or placed directly on ice, which causes freeze damage to the tissue. The sealed bag is then placed in a second container with ice. These bags are the first step in that chain — the correct container that preserves the part's condition during transport to hospital.
• Printed identification label and instructions — reduces error under extreme stress A traumatic amputation is one of the most extreme first aid situations a responder will face. The printed label and instructions on each bag provide clear guidance at the point of use — removing the need for the responder to recall the correct procedure from memory in a highly distressed situation. Clear identification for the receiving hospital ensures the part is handled correctly on arrival.
• Durable and leak-resistant — pack of 3, individually sealed Durable construction and leak-resistant sealing maintain containment integrity during transport. Individually sealed bags confirm each bag is unused and uncontaminated at the point of need. Pack of 3 — the standard quantity for kit inclusion across workplace, remote area, and trauma first aid kits.
• WHS required for high-risk workplaces — machinery, sharp tools, remote operations Amputated parts bags are a required inclusion in WHS-compliant first aid kits for high-risk workplaces where machinery, power tools, cutting equipment, or remote operations present a realistic risk of traumatic amputation. They are included as standard in our Type A and Type B workplace restock packs for this reason. Ships from Dubbo, NSW within 2 business days.
