USMC style IFAK

USMC style IFAK
  • USMC Style FIRST AID Kit
  • Bag is constructed of 1000 Denier Cordura, Coyote Brown
  • Zippers are sand resistant and promote a low infrared signature
  • H 8.5 in. x W 8.75 in. x D 4.5---Made in the USA

One reason this kit is so cheap might be because certain items were taken out and sold separately. The kit DOES contain what is shown in the photos, so I can't say the description is wrong. However, these items are missing to complete the kit:

BD Angiocath IV Catheter 14GA x 3.25" (Decompression Needle)

BCS Bolin Chest Seal EXP 7/12

Rusch Nasophartngeal Airway Size 28 EXP 4/14

...and judging from this identical kit I found online, an extra Tourniquet might be missing search joesarmynavyonline dot com for "ifak".

If you buy this to actually use it, I hope you might not end up missing these items.

There might be a good reason these items are missing this could be a configuration issue, but I would have loved that information in the description. And I would prefer to have a fully stocked IFAK rather than an incomplete one.

I am an emergency physician. This does not have everything you need for a single trauma case in the prehospital environment but its a good start. Most "medical kits" are band aids, tape and other crap. This bag and starter equipment is a low cost start for a car or hunting kit. Look up CoTCCC for other information.

this is the real deal. it comes fully stocked and has more than enough of the good stuff to form the base of an awesome IFAK. First of all, the bag itself is epic and will fit any webbing or bag. I fit mine to a range of maxpedition bro-sacks and it takes about 30secs to swap from belt to belt. The supplies were great quality and just perfect. I did add to mine a nasal airway, some band-aids and strips (to deal with small abbrasions and to help settle kids down), some quick-clot, another (full CAT tornique) and an additional israli bandage. A chest seal (for punture wounds) is the last item i will add to the pack which with the other items gives the pack an overall 6-star rating all for less than $60. I have reviewed the other packs on amazon and this by far is the best. Actually, i'm just going to order another one now. LOL.

I have not had to use the kit as of yet, but it is the best first aid kit I have had on hiking and camping trips.

Versa-Pac Reusable Heavy Duty Part No. d Pack Part no. MH71598 KENDALL HEALTHCARE PROD.

Versa-Pac Reusable Heavy Duty Part No. d Pack Part no. MH71598 KENDALL HEALTHCARE PROD.This item has a great texture and the gel has a very firm consistency. The cover/shell is also thick, firm yet flexible. The seal, however, failed in less than a year and the gel pack is now leaking. Not happy about durability but in all other respects this is a product well-suited for its stated purpose, at least as far as cold therapy. I've never used it for heat therapy.

First Aid Only Vehicle Bulk First Aid Kit, 94-Piece Kit

EMI Emergency Response Holster Set

EMI Emergency Response Holster SetI tested all the equipment on the field and the only part of this package I have to say wasnt worth my time was the scope. Besides that a really good set

I bought this item to use in EMT class and thought it was a great deal. It was shipped quickly, but when I got it only half of the items were there. I contacted the seller and they only gave me $4.55 out of the $27 back which isn't fair considering the items I am missing account for at least half of what I paid. This items I did receive work fine.

Band-Aid Band-Aid Comfort-Flex Adhesive Bandages Sheer Extra Large

Band-Aid Adhesive Bandages, Sheer, All One Size 40 sterile bandagesI originally used one of these at work and loved the way it stayed securely in place all day and over night. Most band-aids that I have bought at home seem to come off easily. Couldn't find these locally and finally found them here. Works perfectly and stays on securely. I wouldn't buy any other model, these are the best.

this new "cushioned fabric" model defeats the reason people buy the Sheer Strip. The whole point of the Sheer Strip in the line of Band Aids is that it doesn't show, right? The cushion fabric thing totally defeats that purpose! BTW looks like the same model in the box in this illustration, but the ones I got were the news one. I bought them here on Amazon cause I thought they were the old, normal Sheer Strips based on this picture.

J&J doesn't seem to making the old, normal Sheer Strips anymore anywhere not in any of the stores here in NYC (which is why I went to Amazon)>

3M Medipore Soft Cloth Tape 1" x 10 yd Pack: 2

3M Medipore Soft Cloth Tape 1' x 10 yd Pack: 2I originally purchased this tape thinking it was the same tape they used after my surgery. While it IS very good, I later discovered the tape they used on me was Hypafix, which is, in my opinion, even better than Medipore because it sticks even better, yet is extremely gentle on the skin and does not pull hairs. KCK Medical is a great company to purchase from. My shipment arrived super fast and the shipping was free through Amazon.

This is the only kind of tape that I have been able to use for years, but the two inch rolls have had to be cut so this is the perfect solution.

Molefoam CS6

Molefoam CS6I'm sure this is a great product if you're looking for a thick foam bandage. I wanted the thin material product to wear on the foot and still be able to fit into shoes. I guess I didn't read enough detail or pay attention to the thickness listed. They still do make the thin product, but they need to emphasize this feature on the label better. Buyer beware!

does the job, thick enough to protect. I did use the benzoin tincture with it to get it to stick without moving.

Triple Cream Severe Dry Skin/Eczema Care

Triple Cream Severe Dry Skin/Eczema Care, 2-OunceI've tried a bunch of stuff and this one actually works and has improved my skin.

The downside is this stuff will leave your hands greasy for quite a while after application.

The upside is it's actually working and you apply less lotion.

I do want to eventually try the Neosporin Eczema Essentials line but it looks more similar to the Aveeno Eczema Care lotion, which isn't as good as Triple Cream.

My son has eczema whole body, we tried a lot of other creams, but no one can compare to it. It traps the water in the skin for a very long time and no allergy reaction. I highly recommend it!

Buy Triple Cream Severe Dry Skin/Eczema Care Now

My son developed a severe and painful rash while I was using other creams on him. It hurt him too much to clean him with wipes and I ended up washing him in the sink during each diaper change. Our pediatrician recommended this stuff and it cleared up within a couple of days while the pain was gone the next day.

Now this is the only diaper cream that I buy. I keep a 2-ounce tube in the diaper bag and a 16-ounce jar at the changing table.

This stuff works great. I get really bad eczema on my hands and nothing had cleared it up until I got this cream. It isn't greasy or too thick and you don't need a lot to get it to work. Highly recommend.

We use this product on my daughter nightly. She used to breakout from long periods of diaper use overnight. Haven't had any issues since. No strong smell and not as pasty as other products. Great buy!

First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 5 oz

First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 5 ozI used to have fairly bad uneven skin and pimples, but after weeks of using this, I've seen a change in how my face looks! barley any breakouts and my skin tone evened out! I was impressed by the results. This stuff is safe for people who have sensitive and dry skin (I have eczema, so a cleanser that's safe is a must. I's great for washing off makeup and keeping pimples at bay. Use at least twice a day and no more (cleaning your face more than once in a day just promotes dryness as well as oilyness). I recommend this product for nearly all sensitive skin types.

Background:

I have oily T-zone and normal cheeks. Always had great skin then I got the Nexplanon (3 yr b.c stays in your arm). My face went crazy. Waited 6 months took it out waited another 6 months skin never got better. I spent all of 2011 & 2012 trying to get my face back I'be had two different dermatologist and between them everything was tried.

More pimples and now dark spots I was loosing it.

Now:

I saw a review about this product and a girl said it worked in 5 days. I give you 2!! My face is already looks so much better! I problem I kept having with other products is they would over dry and burn my face up. This feels so different.

I'm soo happy i found it and I hope others do too.

This has worked really well for me. It foams up nicelysimilar to the consistency of shaving pot cream. With a pea-sized amount, it is able to remove makeup and bring my face back to its (almost squeaky) clean state. I haven't tried removing eye makeup with this, but it does a great job at removing foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil -don't have residual makeup on the cotton pad when I apply toner afterward. Will add this to my list of favorite beauty products.

I have super sensitive skin that reacts to most cleansers. This one doesn't bother me. It removes make up without drying too.

Want First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 5 oz Discount?

This cleanser lathers well, you only have to use a pea-sized amount to cover your whole face. It seems to remove makeup well, and it's non-irritating and didn't dry out my skin. I don't think this alone will help cure noticeable acne, but for that it's important to use a cleanser in general. I did notice a light soapy smell that's unpleasant to me, but it goes away quickly.

On it's own merits, this product really has no major flaws. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because of the price I've used other face washes that are as effective at half the price or less.

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 8 Fluid Ounces (240 ml) (Pack of 6)

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 8 Fluid OuncesI've read many reviews about how castor oil is supposedly good for hair and it promotes growth. So I wanted to try it out. It is pretty thick so I mixed it with coconut oil which also gives it a pleasant aroma (the castor oil barely has a scent). I used the oil on my eyelashes (because it's sad when my fiance's eyelashes are longer and fuller than mine) and I noticed that it did get longer and thicker looking. I'm not sure if my head is just playing tricks with me but I like my lashes now.

I also use it as an oil treatment for my hair because I recently got it chopped off and I'm trying all sorts of things to grow it out again. I'm not sure if it helps grow your hair but getting an oil treatment every now and then is good and healthy hair is always a plus.

My sister recommended that I use Palma Christi on a woolen cloth to help with my arthritis. I laughed at her but I was desperate. I can't rub the oil in because that too causes pain. I soak the woolen cloth in oil and place a hot water bottle on top. I thought i would really feel foolish if I woke up with a bed soaked in water and oil but I tried it anyway. I slept for 5 hours! I don't know if it was the combination of heat with the oil or not but, the next day I soothed my entire body, including my face, with oil. The jury is still out on how long this will last but I will ride the wave until I come to shore.

I have thouroughly enjoyed using this product. It came on time and I'm using it for more than I originally purchased it for. I put it under my eyes, and have no wrinkles there, and I also put it in my ear when I have an ear ache, and it always helps. I am very pleased with this brand and I trust the seller. I will buy more when I run out, but I still have two from the first pack.

Foot Works By Avon Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream

Foot Works By Avon Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief CreamI LOVE this product! It is the perfect solution to cracked heels. It keeps my heels soft each day. It's smoothe and non-greasy. It works on calluses too. Great product.

This product is great for feet, but I use it for my hands mostly. I get extremely dry skin in the winter, and my knuckles get so dry that they will crack and bleed. This product works better than anything else I've tried. The best ingredients for dry cracked hands,(listed on WebMD) are in this product, plus it has lidocaine to sooth any pain. Some lotions will burn if you have cracks, this one won't.

Buy Foot Works By Avon Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream Now

I have always had dry feet, but I take care of my feet and be careful to put lotion and try to not walk around too much with bare feet and wear good shoes. I get a pedicure at least once a month which helps my feet to look healthy. About a month ago, I noticed that the bottom of my left foot appeared to have a "cut" which was really a crack in the heel. I live in Arizona and it is really dry here and has actually been cold (for Arizona standards). I bought this cream, and within days the crack seemed to heel up pretty good and after two weeks it was completely gone. I used the product liberally and ran out within two weeks. Luckily, that was all I needed. I think the tube should be much bigger, but the product does work fast. I applied the cream every night before putting on socks before I went to bed. I wear dress shoes to work, so I did not put the cream on in the morning. I did put cream on my foot in the morning on weekends when I wore socks and sneakers. I think reapplying in the morning and evening on weekends helped a lot.

Nexcare Reusable Cold/Hot Pack

3M Nexcareâ„¢ Reusable Cold/Hot PackThese packs work great! Freeze fast & stay cold forever. Haven't tried as hot pack yet, but foresee no problems. Long so they cover area nicely. Covers work great to give skin protection and straps hold them nicely in place wherever you want them. We bought two & use them constantly!

Wish 3m would LABEL their product better, but this one did have the straps which allow you to wrap and hold the icepack where needed. Same box, but without a look inside the box, it's impossible to tell if you'll get the icepack sleeve (nearly useless) or the thin but durable cover with elastic strap.

These are ideal icepacks if you suffer any sort of headaches, knee injuries or other locations where a secure wrap around lets you not worry, and hold temperature very well, and despite being cold-frozen (til the gel is semi-frozen state) and pulled to wrap around head. Nearly TWO YEARS and I've now worn out the straps, but none of the icepacks have ruptured or leaked. Really solid product.

My husband used to heat up wash cloths from me whenever i would get a migraine. They would soon grow cold and make me feel worse.

This hot pack stays hot for a very long time and offers great relief. Just be careful not to heat it too long because it can get VERY hot.

The ice pack itself freezes well and conforms to the shape of the area being treated. I have not used it as a warm pack so can't comment on how well it heats. The provided cover does not have an adjustable strap and it falls off my knee as a result of this. However, I just wrap it in a thin towel and it works fine. This is a good pack for the price.

Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pad, 5-Count

Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pad, 5-CountThe old style 2nd. Skin Brand of blister pads stuck much better than this newer type. One plus is they are easy to peel off the blister so you don't pull the skin off with the pad. I wear these running and they tend to come undone around the edges after 10-15 miles and ripple and fold under.

Let the buyer beware. I ordered this item, the 5 pads, and I received their blister kit, a different item.

CURAD Sensitive Skin Strips Spots, 50 Count 4pack

CURAD Sensitive Skin Strips Spots, 50 Count 4packIt may sound silly but I'm a man and I'm a marathon runner after dropping 70 pounds in the past 5 years but I still have a serious problem with bloody/chaffed nipples on long runs that last more than an hour. Nipguards are fine but they're expensive and whenever I'd need them, I wouldn't have them. These work just as good provided you put them on a few hours before running. I assume it takes a while for the adhesive to do its job. I'm a morning runner and as long as I put these on before bed, I can run however far I want in whatever conditions and they will not fall off. I've even forgotten to take them off and have taken a shower and they've stayed on. BUT if you put these on a few minutes before your run, results may vary (so I still keep some nipguards around for the mornings I realize I've forgotten the curads the night before).

I'm not sure if this is what the creators of the product had in mind but I had to mention as one of my best marathon related tips/tools.

I wear these for long runs to combat nipple chafing. They work great. I have worn them up to 10 miles with no sign of it coming off. I would guess that it will stay on for much longer.

I got these bandages for my husband, who likes the little round ones for a sensitive place on the edge of his ear, but after a month of trying them, he told me never to buy these again, because they simply don't stick ... they fall off after a few hours. So, I am throwing out the remaining 3 1/2 boxes.

Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel

Sovereign Silver, 2 Oz. First Aid GelMy friend had a rescued hound dog who had a gaping wound above her right eye. The wound would continually ooze and not heal. You could actually see inside to the bone. In the summer time, the flies would attack it. She took this dog to numerous vets over a two year period and they could do nothing to heal this wound. They kept giving antibiotics which, of course, had no effect. At one point, they suggested she be put down. As a last resort, I convinced her to try this gel. Although she was skeptcal, she could not believe that within one week, she began to see improvement. To the surprise of her veterinarian, the would completely healed.

I have had great success with this gel. My son gets huge boils that the gel heals completely. It's amazing stuff. As an aside, a little goes a long way so it's not expensive either. I always have a bottle on hand and usually end up passing it on to someone in need and have to replenish it.

I read the accolades in the other reviews and decided it was worth a try. Definitely worth it! I got a 2nd degree burn on my calf from motorcycle exhaust. While waiting for receipt, the Neosporin was protecting from infection, but healing was slow. Once I received this and started using, the progression of healing was just shy of miraculous. Each time I change the dressing, the wound is noticeably smaller.

Adventure Medical Kits Adventure First Aid

Adventure Medical Kits Adventure First  AidI own this kit and I think it's a very good small size for those of us who don't like to carry a 1 pound emergency kit while we hike. There are a lot of items not in here. I supplemented it with tweezers, Pepto Bismol tablets, pain relievers, antiseptic cream, and allergy medicine. I prefer a small size for 2 people, but others may find they need more things.

Overall, I've been using this kit for 1 1/2 years and I love the size.

I bought this kit specifically because the picture accompanying the description said "2-pack." Thinking I would receive 2 first-aid kits for 12 bucks, I placed the order.

Mueller 62712 Thumb Stabilizer

Mueller 62712 Thumb StabilizerI bought this stabilizer to support my wrist and thumb. I was diagnosed with the dreaded "mommy wrist". It is very simple to use and it can be used on either wrist/thumb. It offers adequate support without hurting me or being uncomfortable. I gave a rating of three because the piece that wraps around your thumb seems to wear out a little quicker than I would like. I have purchased two of these and the quality and construction were the same both times.
