Fully Stocked Trauma First Aid Kit – First Responder II Bag with Tools, Gauze, Bandages, Scissors & Gloves – Compact & Portable – OSHA and ANSI Compliant – Orange

This kit has a great variety of first aid and trauma gear. As an upcoming EMT student, it is an excellent bag to keep in the trunk of my car. Originally, the order said that the bag was blue, but I received a neon orange color with reflective strips on the side and I personally like it much better than blue. It will be easier to locate in a rush, so it's very nice. This kit comes with your standard gear like bandages, gauze pads, reflective blanket, BP cuff, tourniquet, and much more. It even comes with a tube of glucose, which I'm not sure why it would be included in the kit, but it works for me because I have a good friend who has Type-1 diabetes, so I keep it in the kit for him. The bag is very spacious and definitely has room for more equipment, so I'll be sticking a BVM in there. Overall, an excellent bag for its price.

This is by far the best item I've purchased as far as medical bags and supplies goes. If you are a simple person looking to create a preparedness/bug-out stash just for peace of mind, this is the best thing you can get for your medical needs. The item has the best price for all that's included. The value of the bag and what comes with it is more than asked for. The bag is very nice quality, with three well sized pouches. It comes with an attachment for the main compartment that seperates it into smaller spaces. The bag has plenty of extra space even after organizing all of the supplies it comes with. I am satisfied and 5 stars simply isn't enough

Great little go bag to keep in the car or home. I would definitely add more stuff and replace somethings like the tourniquet. Also be sure to learn how to use everything, and know what you can and cannot do. Otherwise it’s a cool little bag that fits mostly anywhere to customize and add things to your liking. Great value as well. The bag itself is good quality, nothing special.

As an EMT I wanted to make sure I had at least a basic first aid kit in my car. Most of the first aid kits are either extremely expensive or include little more than band aids, this kit, how ever, is a good medium. The bag it comes in is small, so easy to store in your trunk or take camping. There is a little extra room to add your own additional supplies if you want. The name states "Trauma" first aid but I feel it is along the lines of a basic first aid kit. Keeping in mind I'm used to a professional trauma bag, I feel that is kit is more geared towards minor injuries rather than some more significant injuries sustained in vehicle accidents. I would like to have seen more gauze pads and bandaging equipment. It did come with a tourniquet, but it is a strip of rubber with Velcro ends so I am not too sure of its effectiveness. This was one of the first items I traded out. I liked the inclusion of the set of oral airway adjuncts, but I'm not sure how useful they are to a lay person who was probably wondering what they were when they opened it. So, do I recommend it? Yes. For the price and convenience, it is worth it. It is interned to be a personal first aid kit (not an EMS trauma kit) and it provides a good amount of supplies, not just a ton of band aids. I strongly recommend taking a look inside to familiarize yourself with the contents before you use them, and take a look to see what else you might want to add. This was a good starter kit for me to add my own additional supplies to (BP cuff, Steth, more trauma supplies, etc.). Also, I recommend taking a CPR and First-Aid course. I hope you find this kit as useful as I did (though I hope you don't need to use it!)

Great product

I'd been researching quite a bit, trying to find a good first aid kit for my family's emergency backpack (to be kept in the car - we're in earthquake territory). It seems like other first aid kits just didn't offer enough. That's when I realized I needed to include the word "trauma" in my searches. This lead me to many more appropriate kits that were larger and had a larger variety of necessary items. However they were a lot more money. This one seemed too good to be true when I saw it here on Amazon so I actually called the company in Brooklyn, N.Y. Hopefully I didn't make the guy rethink what they're selling cause I kept saying what a good deal it seemed to be. ;) The bag is about the size I'd imagined - not as small as most first aid bags but not one of these big tote ones you imagine the pros having either. It's a good medium size, maybe a bit larger than I expected but not too large for putting in an emergency backpack. Also, if you don't add a lot more items to it, it's flexible so you can shove it in there or even empty contents (use just the bags inside it) if you're really concerned about space. It's a good bright color (blue) and sturdy and roomy, and has two roomy pockets on either side that are empty. I put toiletries on side and water-purification items on the other. The items came in two sealed bags and everything inside seems to be of good quality, e.g. scissors don't seem flimsy at all and everything else seems to be of good quality as well. We'll add excedrin and sunscreen and other things we might need (and if I saw iodine in there - can't remember now - be careful cause iodine allergies can be deadly though most people aren't allergic). My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a little booklet of instructions including CPR, but I assume that's cause it's more of a professional's bag. Frankly, I wouldn't have the first clue about how to use the CPR mask and all its little contraptions, nor a lot of the other stuff. I'm also planning on calling them back to see if they have their own booklet of instructions I can get from them just cause it'll fit the products better. If not, I'll just go buy one. So with that in mind, it's not quite as inexpensive - if I have to go buy a book still! Last thing I want to say is that there's a lot of stuff in those bags so I suggest looking them over in advance with some sort of instruction book (however you get it) unless you're already a pro - because if you have an emergency on your hands and have to rummage through the stuff, it might be a bit overwhelming. What's nice is that each of the two plastic transparent bags have lists facing the outside which say what's inside of each bag. So that will definitely help. Edit: I finally got all the stuff out the other night and organized and labelled each item, separating them into smaller ziplock style bags. Since these will be in an emergency backpack which needs to be lightweight, the big bag it came with is just taking up room and adding unnecessary weight albeit not much. What I did while doing this is I looked up youtube videos about how to use each of these items, based on the items' names that were on the lists the bag came with. So now I have a fairly strong understanding of how to use these things. I also added a few items to such as a Quikclot, a thermometer, a CPR mask to go with the shield, a pen light that has replaceable batteries, israeli battle dressing (compression bandage to wrap around a pad on a wound), a pair of latex-free gloves (which brings it to two pairs which should be enough for true emergencies), aspirin in case of a heart attack, tweezers, and a small mirror. Many of these ideas are thanks to other people's suggestions in these reviews.
