EMT First Responder Empty Medical Bag

I'm going to echo what a lot of other people say here: At first this bag didn't * LOOK * like it could hold that much, but it's turned out to be just the right size. It comes collapsed in a clear plastic bag. Once you open it and, start filling it and make use of the side pockets, it sort of blossoms and you go "Right On!". PROS: I can fit the following into this with some room to spare: > Stethocope in zipper case. > Sphygmometer (battery powered , wrist type blood pressure cuff device - in it's plastic clamshell storage case). > Pulse Oximeter > Digital thermometer (forehead/ear type). > Hot/cold compress bladder pack. > About 14 trial or mini-size (2.5 inch high) of: Asprin, Ibuprofen, Band Aids, Triple Antibiotic, Eye Drops, Gas relief pills, Cough/Cold syrup, Pepto Bismol, Athlete's food cream, anti-itch medicine, and on and on. > I still have room for some gauze rolls /pads, isopropyl alcohol, scissors, Anbesol which I will purchase later. > The carry strap is resizable. The quality of the material and the straps is more than adequate for my purposes. Not flimsy. The strap comes sized in a shorter "handle" mode but you could easily reel it out so it could be a shoulder strap. The zippers on the side pouches are of decent quality. CONS: The bag comes with this adjustable padded divider setup. A grid that has sewn in velcro strips in various places. I found that this darn partition itself - while a nice idea - was a space hog. I never used them. They are well enough made that I saved them for some other future purpose but not this medical bag. Speaking of velcro, there is high quality velcro on the outer front part of the bag and also under the overall flat, but it's placed in a place that I found kind of useless. Fortunately the bag cover can be secured with two hefty straps that have substantial black plastic click /snap connectors that lock up solidly. _______________________________________________ IN CLOSING: Quite the value. More than meets the eye. A steal at $16.98, not bad at $24.99. I made 4 complete kits using this as the base/holder and the stuff mentioned above. I'm probably into each kit about $110 total including bag. Not bad for a basic Health "bug out" bag.
