EasyBag - the little miracle that keeps insulin cool for several days without electricity

MedActiv has developed the EasyBag to transport insulin and adrenaline without electricity. The EasyBag uses gel crystals specially developed for MedActiv, which cool the insulin when placed in contact with water.

To use the EasyBag, it must simply be immersed in water for 40 seconds. The crystals in the panels of the EasyBag then turn into a gel that stays cool for up to seven days based on a process of evaporation that will keep the insulin at a temperature between 16 and 25 ° C. Insulin can be stored for one month at this temperature. To "recharge" the EasyBag, simply submerge it again in water for 40 seconds.

The EasyBag is available in two sizes: EasyBag Single (for one pen) and EasyBag Classic for 5 pens or insulin vials.

Less stress for diabetics who want to travel

The EasyBag allows diabetics to carry their insulin safely when traveling, at work or on holiday. If insulin is exposed to extreme temperatures, it is quickly damaged and loses its effectiveness. This is a major concern for diabetics when they travel to countries with high ambient temperatures.

"At a temperature of 27°C, insulin loses 14% of its effectiveness over a period of a month. It is therefore crucial not to exceed the threshold of 25°C. Today, anyone who suffers from a chronic illness is defined by his daily lifestyle. The EasyBag gives users the freedom to travel knowing that their insulin is maintained at exactly the right temperature, anywhere, anytime, " said Uwe Diegel, president of MedActiv.

How to use the EasyBag

• Soak the blue inner bag in water for 1 to 2 minutes, wipe off any excess water with a towel and insert it in your EasyBag.
• Place your insulin in the bag.
• Yes, that’s it… It’s as simple as that…
• Soak the inner bag in water every 3 days so that it stays moist.
