And because providers must document everything, many also carry a pen, pencil and notepad in the pack. The fanny pack for infectious control items has been a big hit for the Phoenix Fire Department and many others throughout the country. The pack removes several bulky items from medical boxes and vehicles, leaving them less cluttered and better organized. The pack also helps departments avoid the costly loss of staff hours due to illness. But most importantly, the packs put essential protective items within quick and easy reach of responders, so they can protect themselves and patients from unnecessary exposure to infectious diseases.
