BodySealer – manufacturer of hermetically sealed, no-refrigeration body bags – recently received a groundbreaking order from the Artemis space expedition team, according to Irwin Maltz, president of
BodySealer.

Artemis, which is currently developing a comprehensive concept of operations for the handling of deceased crew members during extended space missions, selected BodySealer’s state-of-the-art, hermetically sealed pouches as a potential low-mass, high-integrity solution for bio-containment in space environments. This consideration follows successful testing by the Artemis expedition team, during which BodySealer’s performance exceeded expectations in extreme conditions.

Originally designed to meet bio-containment “Level 4” standards, BodySealer pouches are engineered to prevent the escape of odors, gases and fluids. Unlike traditional containment methods, BodySealer products require no refrigeration, so they are ideal for environments where resources are limited or unavailable. Rigorous independent testing conducted at Clemson University validated the pouches’ ability to maintain full containment under the harshest conditions. bodysealer.com
