Body bags, recovery cases, casualty cases, and exhumation bags and recovery sheets

Cadaver Bags | Disaster Pouches | Recovery Bags Directly from the Specialist 

Uncompromising Quality for Funeral Directors, Hospitals, and Emergency Services | 15 Years of Experience
 

Whether during everyday transfers in the funeral industry, in hospital wards, or during demanding emergency operations by the fire brigade and police: material requirements are high and diverse. Recovery bags from MuHeSa were specifically developed for challenging conditions – from routine operations to difficult recoveries in rough terrain or under high infection risks. Across all fields of application, discretion, smooth handling for personnel, and reliable protection against contamination and the spread of pathogens always come first.

 

The Material of Our Body Bags | Film Types, Gauges, and Environmental Compatibility

Body bags are essential single-use products. At MuHeSa, we rely on resource-friendly materials such as pure polyethylene, recyclates/regenerates, and compostable specialty films engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of everyday professional use.

The films we use are distinguished by the following characteristics:
 

• Polyethylene (PE):

  One of the most proven polymers in the hygiene sector. The film offers high resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and greases, is 100% leakproof, and burns completely without residue in accordance with VDI Guideline 3891 (approved for crematoria).
   

• Recyclates and Regenerates:

  Sustainably manufactured films made from reprocessed secondary raw materials sourced from industry and the food retail sector. Cadaver bags made from this material conserve fossil resources while delivering the expected high tear resistance.
   

• Compostable Bio-Films:

  Biodegradable body bags from MuHeSa cause no adverse effects on soil or groundwater quality. They are free from plasticizers, non-GMO, decompose without harmful residues, and comply with DIN EN 13432 standards for compostable materials.
  
  
   

Closure and Handle Systems for Every Scenario

To make body placement and transfer as straightforward as possible, we offer various zipper and handle configurations:
 

• C-Zipper (Curved / Semi-Circular Closure):

  The curved C-shaped zipper path allows the bag to be opened wide. This enables gentle, low-effort placement of the deceased. Equipped with two sliders (two-way zipper) for effortless handling and optional tamper-evident sealing.
   

• Straight Center Zipper:

  The proven standard for routine transfers and swift deployments by emergency medical services and fire departments.
   

• Reinforced Carry Handles & Heavy-Duty Bags:

  For rugged terrain or heavy-weight recovery operations, models featuring 8 reinforced handles and a heavy-duty fabric base provide maximum safety and load-bearing capacity when lifted by multiple responders.
