Water Recovery Body Bags

The Classic Water Recovery Body Bag has been designed for diver water retrievals, allowing water to fully drain through the resilient mesh fabric. Our three-sided perimeter zipper makes loading and zipping the recovery bag easier. The dual bright orange floater grips on the zippers combined with our vivid yellow mesh make for easy visibility and use while underwater. Additionally, the ten reinforced carry handles allow for effortless removal of the remains from the water.

Our water recovery body bag utilizes heavy-duty materials designed specifically for aquatic environments, ensuring secure transport and easy handling. Classic Plastic’s water recovery bag adheres to the standards of lifeguards, divers, police, coast guards, and navy to recover remains from the water.

"We found Classic Plastics after we learned the hard that way that ordering products directly from suppliers overseas took a lot of time and effort. We liked the option of being able to order any quantity that we needed - especially because of limited physical space. Shipping usually occurs the next day, and we receive our order just a few days later. The team is very easy to work with, and I highly recommend them."

"Their products are durable and available in a variety of sizes that meet our needs. April and Kelly consistently respond to quote requests the same day and keep us well informed with shipping updates. Delivery typically happens within days of placing an order and shipping costs have typically been $200 or less, saving us thousands of dollars over time."

What is the maximum weight capacity, and how well does the material hold up during transport without ripping?

The specifications categorize this bag as “Standard Duty / Light Weight” with a 6 mil vinyl thickness and a “sealed and sewn” construction. Funeral directors and morgue technicians need to know the literal breaking point to avoid catastrophic failures (tearing or bursting) during a transfer. They will want to know if “Light Weight” means it is strictly for normal-stature individuals or if it can handle an average-to-heavy adult body without compromised seams.

Since this bag does not have handles, what is the best practice for transferring the deceased from the cot to the table?

The product specs explicitly state “Handles: None”. This is a major operational factor for deathcare workers. In daily practice, gripping the smooth vinyl of a 6 mil bag can be difficult and dangerous for staff ergonomics. Buyers will want to know if they need to use a slide board, a lifting quilt, or if they should upgrade to the “Heavy Duty” version with handles for routine removals.

Is this vinyl material 100% leak-proof, specifically along the sewn seams and zipper?

Fluid containment is a primary biohazard control and liability concern for morgues and funeral homes. Because the bag’s construction is listed as “Sealed and Sewn” and it has “Inner Liner: None,” buyers will ask for clarification on the sewing method. If fluids bypass the sewn areas or the single #10 envelope zipper, it can ruin a funeral home’s vehicle fabric, contaminate a morgue floor, or compromise public safety
