Use all of this as needed.
Also, stay away from RATS TQ's and 90% of shit on Amazon.
Yeah RATs tourniquets are dangerous, as they don’t spread out their force enough, and may cause acute nerve damage.
Most tourniquets are recommended to be at least 2” wide.
I have 2 recon medical kit's lots of good reviews also got their chest seals. Anyone else use them?
Considering it’s $15 a pair, I would highly suggest getting Huron Vent chest seals.
They’re approved by the CoTCCC and therefore I would trust them more.
You can use even a ziplock bag as a chest seal.
So I suppose a cheaper chest seal would work fine.
I have their TQ, gauze, pressure bandage, sheers and seals.
Shears and pressure bandage shouldn’t be a big deal.
Two kits was $45
I’m assuming an Israeli style?
yes
You should be good.
Same with the shears.
I know it’s $30 a TQ, but please get North American Rescue CATs.
They’ve been combat proven and are CoTCCC approved.
I will have to eventually
Speaking to everyone when I say this:
Use CoTCCC approved medical supplies.
Let me go find the list of approved stuff.
It's hard to afford everything but you are right
That’s the list of approved devices and adjuncts.
And I understand it may be expensive, but here’s a question: would you rather spend less on life saving equipment and have a chance of failure, or spend a little more and have no failure?
