Hi guys.

I need to upgrade my FAK but I'm having some trouble finding places selling things like a box of 100 4x4's.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction on the web?

I've searched the forums but can't seem to find anything on this. blush

I use Fieldtex . They have decent variety, pricing and shipping.

I have used the following:
RedFlare
Mfasco
BP Medical Supplies


Having said that, I will only be using RedFlare in the future unless I find some obscure item they don't stock. Service, price and the fact he is a member here is what drives my decisions.

I use BP medical frequently. Can take a few extra days to ship for unknown reasons but his prices are very good and I always get what I ordered.

Wahoo!

Finally people are letting me know where to get stuff! My same question in the long FAK thread went unanswered *DOH!*.

I have used Emergency Medical Products for both work as well as personal equipment. I am an EMT and my department orders from them as well.

Just a quick comparison:

4x4 12ply 100 bx
Buyemp.com $6.44 Dukal
mfasco.com $6.94 Dukal
Redflare.com $17.00 Swift
BPMedical.com n/a
Fieldtex.com $8.75 Dynarex

For the life of me I couldn't find 4x4's on the BPMedical site.

Redflare does sell these indivudally, everybody else sells them by the box.The rightmost column is the brand name.

Shipping costs and other product selection varies.

Not an endorsement, just geting some time away from a boring task at the office...

BP Medical has 4x4 gauze 12 ply pads, $6.00 for 100 individually wrapped.

Go to the website, do a search for 4x4 gauze, they were on the 3rd page referenced by the search.

They're also the Dynarex brand.
