Robust soft textile transfer package for contaminated materials with non rigid end terminations

A reusable soft transfer case for containing biological and chemical material, said soft transfer case comprising:

• an elastomeric bladder with an open end including a sealing component wherein said bladder is capable of containing the material and forming a seam at said sealing component once the material is contained;
• an outer textile strength layer enclosing said bladder to be in movable contact with said bladder, said outer layer being a continuously woven textile preform cylindrical layer having a first open end and a second open end with both open ends extending beyond a length of said bladder;
• a first plurality of ringlet locking straps affixed in parallel to each other and extending from the first open end of said outer textile strength layer with said first plurality of ringlet locking straps parallel to a longitudinal axis of said soft transfer case;
• a second plurality of ringlet locking straps affixed in parallel to each other and extending from said outer textile strength layer with said second plurality of ringlet locking straps also parallel to the longitudinal axis of said soft transfer case and on a first side of a midpoint axis of said soft transfer case wherein the midpoint axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis such that said first plurality of ringlet locking straps and said second plurality of ringlet locking straps are on the first side of the midpoint axis;
• a third plurality of ringlet locking straps affixed in parallel to each other and extending from said outer textile strength layer with said third plurality of ringlet locking straps also parallel to the longitudinal axis of said soft transfer case and on a second side of the midpoint axis of said soft transfer case;
• a fourth plurality of ringlet locking straps affixed in parallel to each other and extending from the second open end of said outer textile strength layer with said fourth plurality of ringlet locking straps also parallel to the longitudinal axis of said soft transfer case such that said third plurality of ringlet locking straps and said fourth plurality of ringlet locking straps are on the second side of the midpoint axis;
• and
• a first plurality of lifting handles extending perpendicular from the outer textile strength layer in relation to and in proximity to said second plurality of ringlet locking straps and said third plurality of ringlet locking straps;
• wherein said first plurality of ringlet locking straps is capable of being secured to said second plurality of ringlet locking straps by mechanical locking devices such that a first fold-over region with a first fold line is formed;
• wherein said third plurality of ringlet locking straps is capable of being secured to said fourth plurality of ringlets by mechanical locking devices such that a second fold-over region with a second fold line is formed;
• wherein soft end terminations are formed at ends of the first fold line of the first fold-over region and the second fold-line of the second fold-over region.
