"Pocket-size" all purpose emesis container (barf bag) 2 liter capacity - The right tool for the job- The Hurl•e^® was developed specifically for paramedics, and it is ideal for use by coherent and impaired patients.

Conventional emesis containers (barf bags) (e.g., emesis containers (barf bags), wash basins, plastic bags, etc.) are simply plastic basins or bags that must be held by the patient while vomiting. They are of no use whatsoever when treating an impaired patient that is nauseated or vomiting.

Compact form factor - The Hurl•e^® is a "packet" (approximately 6.5 x 3 x ½ inches) that quickly deploys into a large 2 liter capacity emesis container. The packet fits easily inside pockets, fanny packs, ready bags, etc., and is convenient for paramedics to carry with them at all times.

Conventional emesis containers (barf bags) (e.g., emesis basins, wash basins) are typically too large (commonly 12 inch diameter x 4 inches deep) or too bulky to be carried on scene by paramedics which is why they are usually left inside the rig. An emesis container (barf bag) is only useful if it is immediately available whenever and wherever it is needed.

Deploys easily in seconds - A nauseated patient can vomit at any moment, and a vomiting patient can vomit again at any moment. Quickly providing the patient with a Hurl•e®at the first sign of nausea can spare paramedics from unnecessary exposure to germs and disease and the unpleasant task of working around spilled vomit. Time spent by paramedics cleaning up vomit and decontaminating their equipment is unpleasant, costly and increases exposure to germs and disease.

Large container opening (36 sq. inches) is easy and effective for coherent patients to hold and use while vomiting - The container remains "wide open and ready to go".

Splash Guard/Privacy Shield prevents vomit from splashing while also providing coherent patients with a degree of privacy in an uncomfortable situation - Paramedics, family members and bystanders also appreciate the added privacy.

When a patient vomits into a conventional emesis container (barf bag) the vomit tends to splash all around. This is an unpleasant mess that must be cleaned up afterwards. And conventional emesis containers (barf bags) do not provide any privacy whatsoever.

Bib/Chute and Adjustable "Break-Away" Neck Strap - When a patient is too weak or impaired to hold the emesis container (barf bag) them self, paramedics can quickly secure the Hurl•e^® under the patient’s chin (like a baby bib) using the attached neck strap. The bib/chute channels vomit into the container without any assistance from the patient or the paramedic. This allows paramedics to concentrate on treating the patient without interruption or the distraction of holding a conventional emesis container.

Flat Bottom - Set it down without tipping over.

Easy to fold and close after use - Simply close after use and set aside for disposal.

Conventional emesis containers (barf bags) cannot be closed after use - A wide open container full of vomit sloshing around in the back of a moving ambulance is an accident waiting to happen.
