The IV Bandoleer is designed to carry up to 3 liters of IV fluids.
It can be carried externally with the attached sling. Velcro tabs hold
the IV bags in place.
Internally, the Bandoleer snaps inside the Medical Bag, so that the IV
bags are held securely next to the wearer's back. This has a number of
advantages:
-
The heaviest weight in the bag (water in the IV bags) is closest to
the wearer, improving load-carrying ability.
-
Snapped in place, the heavy IV bags will not shift, improving
mobility.
-
In cold-weather operations, the wearer's body heat helps protect the
IV solutions from freezing.
