A medical bag is described that has a carrying configuration (Figure 5) and a dispensing configuration (Figure 1) and comprises:- a handle (20) for carrying the bag,- a space (12) within the bag for accommodating a tapered storage drawer (14), the space tapering from a wide end(16) to a narrow end (18) and the drawer being of a corresponding shape to the space,When the bag is carried by the handle (20) in the carrying configuration (Figure 5), the bottom surface (17) of the space slopes down towards the narrow end so that gravity acts to force the drawer towards the narrow end of the space however, because of its size, the drawer (14) cannot pass through the narrow end of the space, thereby retaining the tapered storage drawer within the space.
