TORRANCE, CA—To provide EMS professionals with a tough, portable medical supply protection solution, Pelican Products offers the 1460EMS Case.

Easily washed and sterilized, the 1460EMS Case is engineered with an open cell-core wall, polymer construction that protects sensitive equipment from the harshest conditions in the world.

The 1460EMS Case features a three-level, fully customizable tray system that lifts out of the case on reinforced stainless steel brackets. It also offers a lockable tray section for secure controlled substance storage.

To ensure stability, the case lid opens 180 degrees to form a wide base when it’s being used. For added security, the top tray and case lid work together as a seal that prevents tray compartment contents from spilling out into the case while it’s being transported. For easy transport the case also comes with a nylon shoulder strap and a bracket/strap that allows the user to carry any sized sharps needle container (sold separately) along with the case.

Standard features include a lid equipped with a polymer O-ring for a dust-/water-resistant seal and two dual action latches that have been tested to withstand nearly 400 pounds of pressure (but open with a light pull). The 1460EMS Case sports an integrated automatic pressure equalization valve that keeps moisture out and prevents vacuum lock, ensuring the case is easier to open at any altitude. Two over molded rubberized grips are standard on each side and a handle on top of the case is also featured. Genuine Pelican Cases are fully stackable for optimal space efficiency and can always be spotted by their distinctive, trademarked “Dual Band” design.

The 1460EMS Case is also available with standard Pick N Pluck™ foam and without racks for general protection needs as the 1460 Case.

Port Chester was ordered by the New York State Supreme Court to temporarily restore the staffing of the Rye Brook firehouse with a paid firefighter starting Friday night. The court’s ruling comes 24 hours after Rye Brook filed a lawsuit against Port Chester for violating a shared fire services contract when Port Chester eliminated its paid fire department last week.
