Essential First Aid Kits to Treat Injured Soldiers

Soldiers in warzone are prone to injuries. Some of the injuries they sustain may even cost them their lives if immediate medical help is not provided. Soldiers cannot expect medical attention when they are in the thick of the action. The U.S Army has provided its soldiers with essential first aid kits to treat themselves and fellow soldiers without the assistance of a medic. The first aid kits provided by the U.S Army previously consisted of nothing but bandages and iodine. Soldiers can use these first aid kits to stop bleeding and prevent infections to some extent.

Later in 2005, the U.S Army provided soldiers with updated first aid kits. These updated kits were more specifically called Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK) by the U.S Army. The IFAK provides necessary support and care a soldier needs in modern warfare. With the help of these updated tactical medical kits, soldiers can stop severe bleeding, treat bullet wounds, and burn injuries. Additionally, the IFAK contains antibiotic ointments, bandages and dressings, as well as airway clearing devices. (the US ARMY IFAK does not contain water purification and neither does ours – must change!)

The updated first aid kits were provided to soldiers serving in inhospitable areas such as arid deserts, thick jungles, and colder regions along with tactical medical gear and survival kits. A well-known online retailer, Chinook Medical Gear offers a wide range of tactical medical gear and first aid kits for personnel serving in the Army and law enforcement agencies. Chinook's Individual First Aid Kit is created based on the specifications given by the U.S Army. In addition, Chinook's Army IFAK can be customized as per customer needs. Other tactical medical kits from Chinook include Care Under Fire Kit (TMK-CUF), Combat Lifesaver Kit (TMK-CL), Medic (TMK-ME), and more.

Essentials to have in an Emergency Medical Kit

‘Be prepared' is a motto followed by those involved in rescue operations, disaster management, and military activities. Carrying along a well-stocked medical kit can prove to be very helpful when it comes to handling tense, medical situations.

Emergency medical kits should have certain essentials, such as hemostatics, medical instruments, bandages, and dressings. Some bandages are useful in halting arterial and venous bleeding, while some staunch blood flow from traumatic hemorrhagic wounds. The Israeli Emergency Bandage is one such effective bandage and can be found in many emergency medical kits.

Tactical Medical Kits should contain medical supplies for immediate medical treatment and hemorrhage control. The IFAK Kit (individual first aid kit) that is designed based on the current US Army IFAK specifications is durable and cost-effective. Medical equipment required for treating two leading causes of death on the battlefield, namely inadequate airway and severe hemorrhage, comes with this tactical medical kit.

Travel medical kits should contain useful over the counter medications such as Ibuprofen, Antihistamine, and Acetaminophen along with other medical supplies such as oral rehydration salts, dressings, and water purification tablets. Burn and blister care products such as Water Jel and Moleskin should also be a part of your medical kit. Some other instruments and items often found in an emergency kit or travel medical kit include syringes, needles, gloves, forceps, splinter pickers, and safety pins.

Adventure medical kits are also available at Chinook. Don't forget to get yours before setting out on a camping expedition or on a trek. If you are prone to sun burns during hiking or trekking, then make sure you have aloe vera gel and sun block in your adventure medical kits.

Chinook Medical Gear, an online store, has a range of medical supplies to tackle every emergency medical crisis. Choose from their wide selection of emergency and tactical medical kits. It always pays to be prepared to address any medical emergency; after all, your actions at that moment can prove decisive to saving a life.
