Insulated medication bag: how to choose

Some medicines — adrenaline pens, insulin and other temperature-sensitive treatments — should be protected from heat and cold. An insulated bag makes daily life and travel easier.

1. Size

Choose a case sized for what you really carry: two adrenaline pens, or insulin pens with needles and a glucose meter. A compact case is one you will actually take everywhere.

2. Insulation

An insulated lining slows down the effect of outside temperatures. It does not cool the medicine: it protects it from sudden swings, direct sun and heat.

3. Discretion and style

A medical case should not look medical. Carry Box designs cases you can carry in a handbag, at the office or at school.

4. Easy to identify

For children, a colourful case helps teachers and family find it quickly in an emergency.
