Forgive me if this has been discussed before but I searched old posts and couldn't find anything. I am trying to find a reasonably priced (most likely online) source for first aid supplies including HemCon bandages, one handed tourniquets and other items you just can't get at the local drug store. Anyone here know of or use a retailer that they like? Thanks in advance.

I get some of my more everyday supplies in bulk at an industrial safety center. ( stuff like boxes of gloves, etc.)

To avoid paying shipping, check out your local medical equipment & supplies stores, although they tend to only sell by the box (no individiual pieces). A similar source are the ones that cater to people who need wheelchairs, walkers, and other medical specialty items -- usually a step up from the neighborhood drug store.

I use www.medco-athletics.com at home & work. Lots of stuff for FAKs, PSK's and EDC. OTC meds in individual packs, reference books, basic inexpensive instruments. Be sure to get their catalog.
