ADC Trauma Bag, Orange

The bag itself is a little smaller than pictured. Not that much bigger than a soft-sided cooler that holds 16 beverage cans. With that said,..now on to the main review.

the bag is made of 800 denier nylon or so they say, seems more like 400. It has some type of water resistent coating on the inside of exposed areas, but in my test it is fair at best for water repell, i wouldnt use the bag in the rain(more on that later). The bag has a very nice padded carry handle and a decent adjustable shoulder strap. It also has a padded bottom. It has two side zippered pockets that can handle a couple of dozen gauze pads each. These are zippered. There are two expandable pouches on the front. Since they are not zippered, i would only use these for items that are already sealed,prepackaged items such as antiseptic, water-gel,etc, as they will probably get wet. Above these pockets are eight elastic holders for whatever you may want to use them for. The top flap of the bag has an internal zipper that allows storage in the entire bag lid, great for items such as space blankets that you don't use all of the time. It has two buckles and a velcro strip that attach to the lower end of the bag. Two inside flaps that cover the inside of the bag close with velcro, no zipper!! The interior of the bag is about 12x9x9. That is without the adjustable insert. Inside of the bag is a three way divider for the bag, look for it at the bottom, i almost missed it!!LOL. The divider is very well padded to provide separation on the inside. You can adjust it to suit you, but the standard dimentions for the three compartments are, 12x5, and two 6x4.

The problems i have: The compartments should be zippered. More orginizational slots. water resistant. A little bigger. No EMS designation, plain bag. Handle does not sit square when bag is loaded. Should have a zippered pocket on the back. At worst you can always use it as an overnight bag!! It lacks the true EMS organization and expandability, but for $30 it's still great if you just want to throw your stuff in a bag. Look at the pictures on adctoday.com before you buy so that you can see it better. all in all it's an ok bag, but far from great. Hope this review help fellow Amazoners!!

For a very basic first aid kit it is fine. I have it in the boot of my car and it it stocked to the brim with the basics for my skill set (Paramedic). I would not use this on a regular basis and in no way would it be practical for work but for around the home, in the car or for short trips it is fine. I have not experienced any problems with the buckles, grips or straps and all seem to be in good order. The storage system is fine for the basics. Mine hold 1L nrm saline, cannulation for 3ppl, ample pads and bandges, steth, OPs (neo to adult)/ no real room for ETT maybe LMA, emesis bags, trauma gears, temp, cuffs 3 size and basic drugs (very basic). It would be fine for about one/ two jobs (nothing major i.e.: plane vs train vs bus).
