I haven't tried that one. It looks nice, simple and compact, much better than the competition I've seen. I may have to get one. Thanks for showing it.

Jeez, that's bone-head simple. I should have thought of that! Now I'm going to steal that idea.

Ditto the above on having stuff outside your scope. I've been debating adding a few bags of saline, but I don't know if A) they hold up to winters in Michigan (not to mention the catastrophic effects of infusing a nearly freezing IV fluid), and B) "technically" it's outside my scope.... til May.

Well, recently I made a suction tubing for 20cc syringe that I carry in my everyday FAK (made from iv infusion set tube) . I'll post photos of my IFAK soon.

Maybe I should hold a "training" session on advanced techniques, and get lots of "by physician order" items too wink You know, CPR, ACLS, BTLS, and First Responder all rolled into one.

Sorry, no opiates will be sold!
