3M Micropore 1/2" x 10 yd. White Surgical Tape - Box of 24 rolls

This is a great tape to use if you get split skin on your fingers. You can wash your hands and it will still stick, and yet, the micropores let the skin breathe. It does help the split skin close up and heal, better than butterfly type closures. Plus, it covers the whole split, unlike a butterfly. A regular band-aid won't hold a split closed, but this tape does. It seems to be low reactivity adhesive, as I don't have a problem with it (and I usually react to a number of other adhesives).

I need this tape to fasten a PD catheter to my body and this tape works great. It holds well but doesn't rip my skin off to remove and 1/2" is the perfect size. Unfortunately I can't find it locally and my regular medical supplier doesn't carry it.

Keeps knicks and cuts clean and dry. If you need to keep working after those minor mishaps, this is what you need. Stays put, but comes off easily. Rolls last forever. Love this stuff!

I used this for eight weeks to wrap a splint on my finger. It's very comfortable and it breathes well. I did find that the ends did not stay down for more than an hour or two, though. I got best results when I used two or three layers of this tape next to my skin and then followed with a couple of layers of waterproof bandage tape, which sticks to itself extremely well and holds this cloth tape in place comfortably.

Want 3M Micropore 1/2" x 10 yd. White Surgical Tape - Box of 24 rolls Discount?

The first aid kit I have only came with a small supply of surgical tape, so I bought this big pack for cheap, I've already used a whole roll. Very sticky, great for keeping those deep cuts that are in between a simple bandaid and sutures. Also works great to wrap a wound. Bear in mind I'm no doctor.

Swisspers Girl Jumbo Plus Cotton Balls, 140-Count (Pack of 18)

Eighteen packages of cotton balls looks like eighteen miniature pillows: Wow. Soft, clean, and fluffy. It's easier than one would think to ruin cotton balls moisture, smashed, thin/low count fibers, ruptured bags and then overcharge for something that costs nearly nothing to produce and deliver.

Not so with this (overabundance) of supply: Swisspers clearly has the lock on cotton, if you need a bunch.

If you have the space, it's a wonderful product to purchase in bulk and Amazon's price is excellent.

Rarely am I this passionate for something....but these are truly amazing! I know, you're saying to yourself, "They're just cotton balls??" but believe me, they are so much better than all of the others!!! I hope that they continue to make these, as they are getting very hard, if not impossible to find in stores... Don't know what I would do without them!!

These cotton balls are thee best of the best! They are huge and super soft, definitely recommend them for daily facial and cosmetic care needs. These 18 pack is great because they have become very difficult to find in stores.

The rounds themselves are quite large, about 1.5-2 inches wide. These cotton balls were the only reason I ever went into Walmart, now that they don't sell them I no longer have to shop there. The price per bag on Amazon is less expensive then the price was at Walmart.

Went to Walmart tonite to get these & sad to say my Walmart no longer carries them. I love these cotton balls and they are so large I half them, which is unusal for cotton balls. So glad I can still ge them. Very soft and absorbent. These come from a small town in NM and jobs are hard to come by in that state, so I am happy to help their economy. GREAT PRODUCT!

ONE A DAY VitaCraves Gummies plus Omega-3 DHA

One A Day Vitacraves Plus Omega-3 DHA Gummies, 80-Count

The vitamins are good for an Omega-3 and DHA boost, but not as a solo vitamin. I was mostly looking for a contents review when I first found this product on Amazon, but there wasn't one. So here goes...

Serving Size 2

Servings Per Container 40

Calories 15

Carbohydrates 3g

Vitamin A 4000 IU

Vitamin C 60mg

Vitamine D3(as cholecalciferol) 400 IU

Vitamin E 15 IU

Vitamin B6 2mg

Folic Acid 400mcg

Vitamin B12 9mcg

Biotin 150mcg

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid from algal oil) 32mg

The end. Oh, they contain Wheat and Tree Nuts (coconut) so, be warned if you happen to have allergies to those.

When I purchased the vitamins, I thought I was getting a multivitamin that had the added benefit of Omega-3 and DHA. I'll be taking 1 of these a day and searching for another that has calcium and zinc among other things. Over all, it is a decent vitamin, but the flavor(like watered down cough syrup with fructose) and the lack of a more diverse group of vitamins drove my rating down.

not as soft as a gummy bear. not as tasty as a gummy bear. they smell very good. and they are a whole lot better than tableted multivitamins that taste icky and make me nauseous. so thumbs up to vitacraves.

although you get 80, the adult serving size is 2, so you are really getting 40 days worth.

This omega is the best omega that I've tried. There are no before, during or after taste! If you are looking for an omega this also seems to have great absorption.

Well my boyfriend got a hold of them and eats them like candy every morning. I swear he wakes up thinking of these sometimes! He wont take vitamins ever and he will not eat vegetables or fruit EVER. I am very glad he is eating them actually because if anyone NEEDED the vitamins it was him anyway. He is in love with gummy vitamins. They taste great, come in different shapes which sounds like a kid thing but guys really are children on the inside. So generally hell pour them into his hand and decide which shape he'd like that day lol Its kinda cute hes still in his younger 20's haha It is a wonderful way to get your vitamins. I would absolutely recommend this!

Want ONE A DAY VitaCraves Gummies plus Omega-3 DHA Discount?

Pros:

Taste

Basic Vitamin Necessities

Cons:

Expensive

Extremely low amount of Omega-3 DHA (average recommended dose is 600mg of of DHA and EPA)

Overall, these vitamins taste great and give you the basics, but the added omega3 is NOT all that beneficial. Supplement Omega 3 with another source since this only gives you 32mg of DHA, when you need at least 600mg+of DHA and EPA. Also, you need to take 2 a day, not 1

Tenderskin Paper Tape 1/ 2 Inch X 10 Yards - 24 Pieces

This Tape is just right for sensitive areas. It doesn't cover much Skin area, when you put it on to hold a Bandage. Holds very well. And wont take your Skin off when you peel it off. I really like that. I hate crying when my Skin comes off with the Tape. There is 24 Rolls, in the Box. And a better buy, than going to my local Pharmacy to buy a single Roll.

Theramed Instant Cold Twin Pack - 2 Single Use Instant Cold Packs

You just never know when a situation will present itself requiring application of heat or cold. Mrs. Spudman had some cortisone shots and was advised to used ice on the site for pain relief. Not being prepared and having no ice in the freezer, she put some frozen brussel sprouts on the site. I then remembered having bought some ice packs many months ago. We found the Thera-Med ice packs in the bottom of a closet and put them to use.

These things are fabulous. Just squeeze to break an inner seal, shake for a few seconds, and then apply. It's amazing how quickly the pack becomes ice cold. Now that these two have been used up, I'll be buying more to have on hand for the next unexpected event.

The instant cold pack is much more comfortable than a bag of ice or even a bag of frozen brussel sprouts.

Curad Flex-Fabric, 3/4 Inches X 3 Inches bandages, 30 count

I have the best results with these Flex-Fabric bandages. They adhere better to your skin and to themselves and just seem to stay on longer. They just stay on all day even while working in the yard. The pads are treated so they will not stick to your wound and re-injure it again while removing the bandage.

We keep these in the house and also in a quick emergency kit. They come in handy at the park as someone is always getting scraped up.

Good quality, sterile and they stay in place! This is a good product to have on hand for those little accidents! I have attached a photo for your information.

Johnson & Johnson Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandages, 1 x 3, 100 per Box

great deal! great quality! My husband is a Carpenter and needs bandaids daily, actually several times daily. Even after wetting his hands and using plaster and other chemicals these bandaids still endure!

I really like these b/c they are 1 inch wide. It's not easy to find a box of just this size. I like the flexible fabric as well. I have used them for a long time.

Buy Johnson & Johnson Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandages, 1 x 3, 100 per Box Now

Having a flex bandage for minor cuts is a very good idea. However, these bandages do not hold up to water at all. By the second time I washed my hands the bandage would no longer stick around my finger. The sink water made the adhesive completely inert and it just would not hold. After replacing several of these Band-Aid Brand Flexible Fabric Bandages I went and got a traditional plastic adhesive bandage. These are good for skin cuts along joints where you have a lot of movement but just don't get them wet.

Because Band-Aid's stuck on me!

The flexible fabric are comfortable and stay stuck even the corners (on a finger injury). The 1-inch wide covers that little bit a regular sized bandage can miss. The non-stick pad goes from edge to edge. I have two boys, 100 bandages don't last long.

Want Johnson & Johnson Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandages, 1 x 3, 100 per Box Discount?

I purchased these, because I have found that fabric bandaids are far superior to the plastic ones, that have hardly enough gause to cover the wound. These were available a very good price, for the quanity I purchased.

Curad Non-Stick Pads, 2 Inches X 3 Inches with Adhesive Tabs, 20 count,(Pack of 3)

Most bandages and bandaids irritate my skin. When needing a bandage for a large scrape, this is the brand I go to. Others leave red marks and irritated skin, like a burn, making it difficult to apply fresh bandages. These do not. The adhesive is just on two sides and not all four, allowing for more natural healing.

I bought these for a family member who recently had surgery. I had to change the bandage several times per day, and the patient had gotten sore quickly from peeling tape off her skin. She also worried with every bandage change that regular gauze would be stuck to the incision and would pull her stitches.

With these Curad non-stick pads there are no worries about adhering to the wound they are specially coated (latex free!) to avoid sticking. And the adhesive edges mean no additional tape stuck to her skin and leaving red places. They are absorbent and just the right size to cover stitches, although they come in larger sizes for those who need them.

I bought this 3-pack using Subscribe-and-Save, which brought the price of each bandage down to 20 cents a good price! And they were shipped to my door free, so I didn't have the leave the patient alone and drive to a drug store to buy them.

I'm a quadriplegic and get minor skin abrasions from time to time. These pads with the Adhesive Tabs work perfectly to cover the wound and protect the my skin. My local WalMart used to carry them but stopped and now the only place I can find them is on Amazon. Nice thing is, Amazon's price is as good or better than WalMarts and being a Prime member, shipping is free.

These were the perfect size for an elbow gouge received in a biking accident. The adhesive tabs made it easy for right-handed me to place on my right arm, near the elbow, with my not so dexterous left paw.

This is a great size for almost everything. From skinned knees to stitches. I always try to keep this size stocked up in our first aid kit; nobody wants to run to the drug store at the last minute.

PURE LLC 24 Disinfectant Spray (Puregreen, 32-Ounce)

This product not only kill MRSA & Staph, but continues to kill it for a 24hr period. On top of that it is totally safe for use around children and pets.

Very expensive, so I use sparingly. However it seems to kill any algae, fungus, bacteria colonies that I can see i.e. the colors change from black, yellow, etc. to colorless with one or two applications.After a couple of years of using the product, I still find it to be very effective.

Buy PURE LLC 24 Disinfectant Spray (Puregreen, 32-Ounce) Now

I like that the product is confirmed green. I assume it is working. It does leave a sticky residue that is also visible if you leave it on for too long and especially if you don't wipe it off (the instructions say you can leave on). I did make the mistake of using it on my kitchen pergo floor (the instructions states you can use it on flooring). I left it on to dry, the floor got sticky and I've repeatedly washed the floor with my other green products and still can't get it completely off. The rep said it is because it has citris in the ingredients which makes sense. I recommend if using it on flooring, perhaps only in a tiled bathroom and again, don't leave it on to dry.

This is a known effective disinfectant for stomach virus. The instructions say that you can leave this on and it will dry. When it dries, it leaves a sticky film. We have to wipe after spraying; I'm not sure that's as effective.

This bag is the best I've seen. SUPER thick and durable. MUCH bigger than you would think! No first aid/trauma kit is gonna come with everything you want. It just doesn't seem to exist or it would cost so much that nobody would buy it. It takes at least $1000-$1500 to have a proper kit. IMO the key is to find a bag that will fit everything you will need but still be organized and manageable. Furthermore, and more important than anything, it needs to have super strong double zippers on every pocket and must be water proof. Has to have dividers and organizational features. This is the only case I have been able to make the "perfect" kit out of and it took a bunch of $$ to figure that out. I will include a list of my inventory with this review (excuse my funny descriptions, wife's Chinese and not familiar with our medicines so I had to put some simple descriptions). The bag has a bit of an old 80's feel to it for some reason. I only say that because my friends always call it the 80's lifeguard bag (I think it's the funny shade of orange they use, but the bag come in blue also). By the time I got it fully stocked, it weighed EXACTLY 26lbs which is very reasonable.

Bag arrived within a couple days of orderbigger than I expected and good quality. The bottom is reinforced and rubberized and the color of the bag is very neon, not classic ems orange. I agree with others that the zippers would probably not hold up to intense usage, but it's a great personal car bag. Side straps are a little short, but I don't think that would be a problem if you weren't stuffing the bag. The insert pockets are a little flimsy, thin fabric and less quality zippers and windows, but overall a great bag for the price.

Want Large Medic Gear EMT Bag Orange Discount?

I'm a contract EMT working for a private company out in Los Angeles, so I heavily rely on my jump bag for work. It really is large enough to carry everything, some of which include both adult and child BVMs, OB kit, a large burn kit, my diagnostic tools, stethescope and blood pressure cuff, OPAs, NPAs, hot and cold packs, cervical collars, splints, every type of Trauma sponges and pads, including two large multi-trauma pads. I like how the bag comes with two pullout pouches, one of which I use for BSI (gloves, masks and hand sanitizer), the other I use for band aids, steri-strips, providone-iodine swabs and other disinfectants and antibiotics and other things which I find a lot of people ask for. The bag will also carry my non-rebreather, simple mask and nasal cannulas. And I even have room to put my PCR clip board in the top for convenient carry. I carry so much more to list, but basically, it will carry everything! The material is tough enough for daily use, maybe not the strongest, but what the heck. If I need to replace it after a couple years, $40 is not terribly expensive to get another one.

I purchased this bag to put in my vehicle to carry my medical supplies. It's roomy and holds a lot of items and I like that it came with 2 zippered clear plastic sided bags that are the size of a mens shaving bags that allows me to see what is inside. The top center flap has loops to hold misc items and it comes with Velcro fasteners to hold items secure. I have had a problem with one of the zippers and the shoulder strap snap holders could be of a better quality as they tend to bend some. But for the price it works for me.
