Iron Duck Lighted Breathsaver Oxygen Bag



If you're looking for one of the best trauma bag systems on the market then the Iron Duck Lighted Breathsaver Oxygen Bag is a great pick. The built-in LED lights and high-contrast liner make the contents of your bag easier to see, so you don't need to fumble with a flashlight while trying to see into your bag. 

The bag has been updated to a new, modern design that's durable and rugged, making carrying your oxygen supplies as easy as it should be.


The built-in LED lights (shown above) will supply you with approximately 50 hours of light using 3AAA batteries, which are included. The bag has reflective piping to add to the visibility, which gives you increased safety in low-light situations. The zipper-pulls are longer and stronger and feature a high-visibility, textured grip.

The main compartment of the Breathsaver bag easily secures a C/D or Jumbo D oxygen tank, while the full-length zippered pockets on the front and back will give you extra storage for more supplies and accessories needed on the scene.

C-A-T (Combat Application Tourniquet)

The official tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005, the C-A-T (Combat Application Tourniquet) by North American Rescue utilizes a durable windlass system that features a patented, free-moving internal band, which provides excellent circumferential pressure to the extremities.


If the C-A-T is tightened adequately, the bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is applied, which secures the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. There're no screws and clips with the C-A-T, which keeps operation easy and quick, and helps manage stress during intense situations. 

Awarded as one of the "Top 10 Greatest Inventions" by the U.S. Army, it is used by both conventional and special operation forces. It is the true one-handed-tourniquet, proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities.



The C-A-T is both small and cost-effective. Check it out in more detail over on theEMSstore.com.

HyFin Twin Pack: Vented Chest Seal





This twinpack by HyFin gives you two vented chest seals for emergency treatment of entry/exit wounds to the chest. HyFin sets the standard for the treatment of penetrating injuries to the chest.

The new design by HyFin provides 3-vented channels that prevent airflow into the chest cavity during inhalation, while allowing air to escape through the vent channels during exhalation. The vent channels allow blood to escape and also provide a backup fail-safe system, so that even if 2 of the 3 channels become obstructed, the vent can continue to be operational. 


The chest seals are created with an advanced adhesive technology that provides superior adhesion in the hardest situations, including sweaty or hairy casualties. It's packaged in a rugged, easy-to-open perforated foil pouch, which allows one dressing to be opened at a time/as needed. 

Each chest seal includes a gauze pad to wipe the wound surface prior to application. They each have a large, Red-Tip pull tab for single-step peel-and-apply application (shown below), which allows for burping of the wound if necessary. 


Since the backing is clear and transparent, it allows for easy placement over the wound area that will conform perfectly to the patient's chest.

When you have the HyFin Vented Chest Seals on hand you can be sure you're meeting the current EMS Standard of Care and TCCC & TECC Guidelines.
