You are watching 21st century nursing bag combats infection in the home Season 1 Episode 5

Doctors and nurses have been using the same black “Gladstone” bag for over 150 years. They can harbour dangerous bacteria and important medical items can be lost in the many crevices and pockets. David Swann of the Royal College of Art has designed a 21st century nursing bag, which will revolutionise health care in the home. It’s made out of a non-permeable polypropylene plastic, with easy to clean draws and a hard surface to be used as a treatment area.
