Cryopak Simply Cozy 10 x 13-Inch Microwaveable Heat Pad, 1 Count

Cryopak Simply Cozy 10 x 13-Inch Microwaveable Heat Pad, 1 CountI bought this item as I was after a heat pad that I could continually reheat as and when without constantly having to reboil the kettle to fill up my hot water bottle. The Simply Cozy Microwaveable Heat Pad does exactly what it says under the product description. I have had this item for 2 months now and my only concern was that the plastic cover of the gel pack pitted quite a lot after the first couple of uses in the microwave. I was initially worried that this might cause the plastic to split and the gel pack to be ruined so I would have to buy another, but so far it seems my worries were unfounded. The Heat Pad does not retain heat for as long as a hot water bottle would, but its so easy to just pop in the microwave and reheat so I'm not too worried about that. Oh, and I was also expecting the gel pack to have a more solid gel, but its very liquid which I guess is a good thing as I have to fold it in half to fit it in the microwave.

First Aid Only American Red Cross Personal Emergency Preparedness Kit W/backpack

First Aid Only American Red Cross Personal Emergency Preparedness Kit W/backpackI bought this produt just to have in case of emergency. It has everything you may need. It's not heavy. You can put more stuff. In the bag

The First Aid Kit has immediate needs and of course you will need to replace what you use. The bag has room for my water bottle...a couple of stuffed animals and one or two 'care kits'...if you're a Red Cross vounteer, you'll know what I mean...I keep it in my car and have used it one time already when I was one car behind an accident.

Bought these and secured them the kids beds. They will always have a few things to help them in case of a fire, flood or major earthquake. We added food bars, an emergency radio, hat, gloves and shoes to the bag. That all fits into the bag, gives you an idea of the size. The contents are adequate and for the price they are perfect for short term comfort.

Prestige Stainless Lister 5.5 inch Bandage Scissor

Prestige Stainless Lister 5.5 inch Bandage ScissorThese scissors are of Grade C to D quality. But the Price is Grade C (that is, quite low and good), too. So the ratio of price to quality is overall passing. You're not getting german grade stainless steel here, and neither does the description say you are. The feel in the hand is "old style Japanese" i.e. when everything that came from Japan was tinny; and the blades are not very sharp. Professionals will definitely not be able to use these. The question is whether an individual can throw this in the home / travel first aid pouch and expect it to work for those infrequent jobs for which it gets used. In my opinion the Jury is truly out on that, and you should have a backup plan.

The Prestige scissors were purchased as a gift for a nursing student and work perfectly. An attractive design with the requisite ergonomic form and appropriate cutting functionality. What more could one want?

I bought the wrong product. I need trauma shears but for some reason I thought these could replace them. Nope.

I'm sure these will work great for bandaging. Solid quality, not cheaply made. Recommended from an EDT!

My daughter is studying nursing and needed these for interning. She likes them very well and says they cut sharply and efficiently, as well as more expensive ones.

Ambu Infant SPUR II Bag Reservoir

Ambu Infant SPUR II Bag ReservoirGood product for the price. I think shipping was almost as much as the product though, unfortunately. However, product is as described and as needed. Hopefully our rescue squad won't need to use it to determine how well it works.

This BVM is the best for its price. it can becomes smaller and fits in any EMS bag you may have. it comes with an o2 tube so u can hook it right to the bottle. it saves time. have use others but did a "dry run" with it and like a 100% better. i say to be on the safe side buy this and oral airways. if your not train you can do more damage then good.

Gloves: Ten Pairs Blue Triton SE Nitrile Gloves - LARGE

Gloves: Ten Pairs Blue Triton SE Nitrile Gloves - LARGEThis little baggie fit right into my first aid kit, the gloves are also quickly put on from their rolled up state. I would buy again.

As a NREMT I know the importance of BSI. Although these are rather pricy compared to buying a box of 100 or 200, they are the perfect packing for storing in the Jump kit that I keep in my personal vehicle for the ocasional accident that I come accross on the road.

Adventure Medical Kits Blister Medic (Pack of 2)

Adventure Medical Kits Blister MedicBlister Medic was really useful while in Big Bear hiking above Fawnskin. Unfortunately our hot spots turned to blisters so I was thankful we had the kit with us. Our scissors were blunt so fortunately the moleskins were already cut to shapes specifically to certain sizes. The Glacier Gel soothed the hot spot quickly, which then helped us to take care of business and get on our way to hike. I liked that the kit was so compact and I could stuff it in my top pocket of my jacket.I will definitely need to purchase another pack soon as the hikes become more common in the cooler months.

I got this for my husband who was attempting a hike on the Batona Trail in New Jersey. He is constantly battling blisters because he has flat and apparently awkward feet (Hopefully he won't read this :-P). Has quite the assortment, although I would have like for it to have more of the gel pads. Those were most useful although I couldn't see them staying on for 2-3 days as they say that they can.

Blue Star Blue Star Ointment For Ringworm

Blue Star Ointment 2 ozGreat stuff. Good for all skin problems. Highly recommend it. I use it for feet problems. I was a marine infantryman. so trust me, i know!

I have been using blue star for years and anytime I run out I buy another jar. I use it for itching and it definitely works in that reagrd. Beware of using too much though because it will burn your butt off! If you use it for kids I suggest using as little as a dab the size of a battery in a wrist watch.That would be enough to cover the neck. Proceed with caution.

Side bar:I am not sure if it works in all the other areas it claims. Years ago there was a commercial that used to come on and it claimed that this stuff would work for a long list of things. I'd like to get some feedback on that. Anyway, for itching it works perfectly.

I got a case of nasty athlete's foot from my gym because some people don't know how to wipe down their machines after they use them. Anyhow this cleared up the infection in no time. It took about 2 weeks tops and I've seen them last way longer so two weeks was good for me.

FLA 3D Orthopedic Knit Compression Knee Support Brace, Pro-Lite

BSN Medical ProLite 3D Knee Support, LG CHARCOALThis is the perfect warm weather knee support.

Unlike neopreen, it breaths,

but still supplies a consistent non drooping pressure.

It is also reasonably comfortable behind the knee.

This is a superb value, especially for someone who needs it in warm conditions.

If you have modest knee issues, I like this support. It is completely

woven and doesn't bunch up in the back of the knee. At 5'10"/170 a

medium fits me fine, if I think I need more support I pull a second

over the first. I play alot of racquetball, and I'm pretty sure I have

a slight meniscus issue. Anyway, this brace provides the support and

mobility that I like. If you have severe knee problems, this brace does

not have any metal or hard-surface composition.

I took the care to measure my leg before ordering and received and found that this runs very small and very tight. I literally need to go up two sizes to be safe. That leads me to the available sizes. Who do they have in mind to wear these? I'm an average size, athletic build and will need an XXL so that I don't cut off all circulation to my foot.

It's a shame the sizing is limited to the very small because this is a well constructed comfortable stay in place fabric. It's very thin so wearing it under clothes is no problem. Still, you get a LOT of support. It's a great option for someone like me who is allergic to neoprene. Elastic models don't stay in place and don't provide much support/compression. Unfortunately, anyone over 5'9" and of athletic build may be outside the sizing limitations.

This product is great for people who need excellent support of knees which have problems with sprains and bone-on-bone condition. The stability it provides helps tremendously going through the day. One of the great points is that this brace breathes unlike the neoprene braces. I am sure there are people who love the neoprene braces but I am not one of them. The 3D brace does not irritate the area of the patella. Highly recommended.

This is a great product. I felt my knee was supported as I was a little hesitant to t ake off the full brace when heading back out onto the football field. The knee support did soak up some sweat but was not ruined in an way when I washed it. I'd recommend this product to most depending on your knee injury.

OLAES 6" Modular Bandage

OLAES 6' Modular BandageIt's a gunshot wound trauma bandage. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it, so I haven't opened it. But from everything I see, I like it.

I have played with most of the major brands, HH, IBD etc. They all work, so if you are very price sensitive just go with the cheapest. This one does have some nice features.

1. packaging, most all are vacuum sealed to compress them, this one seems to have held its seal much better than others

2. design, love the occular protector that is built in (the hard plastic center doubles as an eye protection dressing) not that useful but could be handy

3 design-2 and much more important the bulk of the dressing can be pulled out and and used in multiple locations (in and out for example), I carry additional gauze but this makes it less necessary, if you are limited on space this makes the dressing much more useful
