Custom Kits

Post by Mech Medic »

Is there a specific niche you need filled but can't find a kit to do it?
I can have a custom kit put together for you. Email me for specifics.
Also, and suggestions for a kit that I should sell?

How about kits for small children? On that topic, what kind of tourniquets do you recommend for babies/toddlers who's arms are too small for a CAT?

I second Mike’s idea. It’s funny, I was just thinking about this Saturday night when I took the family out to dinner. We don’t eat-out much, tough with a 1 & 3 year-old, but sitting in a busy restaurant got me thinking “I need a DFAK” (diaper bag first aid kit).

That's a good question, I would like to know also. I keep a cat with me, but is a rat better for kids or is there a Fisher price (my first tourniquet) around somewhere?

I now know what I'm calling the training CAT at the next EMR class... :lol: :lol:

Cat's will work on limbs as small as 5 inches in circumference. A toilet paper roll is 5.5. If the limb is smaller than that you can use a pressure bandage wrapped as tightly as possible to create enough pressure to occlude the blood flow. Or just use direct pressure on the brachial artery.

Diaper bags are great places to keep extra medical equipment. I kept an extra tourniquet, 3-4 packs of rolled compressed gauze, 3-4 triangle bandages, 2-3 ace wraps, and a roll of medical tape in ours.

What about using the OALES with the Quikclot? I get the addition of expiration dates, but I think it adds significant capability in a smaller package. I've switched over to them. And while they need some additional training, I think they're well worth the time and cost.

The OALES are great. My big biff with commercial pressure dressings and hemostatic impregnated gauze is that it is very cost-prohibitive. Neither will work with shitty skill. You still have to know the basics of wound packing. Ask me how I know.
