Elkay Plastics Elkay Laundry Bag (4/CS)

These bags are engineered for biohazard containment. Because they are water-soluble, staff can place the entire sealed bag directly into the washing machine. This process eliminates the need to manually sort or touch soiled linens, significantly reducing the risk of exposure to contaminants.

No. The bags are designed to dissolve completely in water temperatures of 140° F (60° C) or higher. You simply drop the entire bag into the laundry system, and it will disintegrate during the wash cycle.

Yes. Each bag features a 0.8-mil gauge construction, which is specifically designed to be durable enough to hold wet or damp linens securely without degrading or leaking before they reach the laundry cycle.

Every bag comes with an attached water-soluble tie tape. This makes it easy and quick to securely close the bag before transporting it from the patient room to the laundry facility.

To ensure the bags dissolve fully, your commercial laundry system must reach a water temperature of at least 140° F (60° C). If the temperature is lower, the material may not dissolve properly.

These bags are intended for use in professional or commercial laundry systems that can consistently reach the required 140° F (60° C) threshold. Home washing machines often do not reach these high temperatures, which may prevent the bag from dissolving.

Yes. With a 45-gallon capacity and a 0.8-mil thickness, they are designed to handle standard healthcare linens, including bed linens, gowns, and towels, in a clinical setting.

Yes, both the bag material and the attached tie tape are water-soluble, ensuring that nothing needs to be removed or disposed of separately once the laundry process begins.

They are ideal for high-turnover healthcare environments, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and clinical settings where the safe management of soiled textiles is a daily requirement.

Each case contains 4 water-soluble laundry bags.
