A bargain FAK

[Tengu]

[/IMG]

This is the PLCE medics pouch that Martyn has got.

I paid £8....thats including postage....

in it was

6 first field dressings
6 crepe bandages
6 triangular bandages
paramedic shears
scalpel
foil blanket
2 oropharyngeal airways
2 micropore tape
2 burn bags for the hands
sutures
assorted plasters

which is a deal more than was advertised.

I am one happy Tengu!

On the pouch its a very good design, though if I was making my own I no doubt could improve upon it (ie make it more fiddly.)

Good Price, nice kit

Would you use the airways on a person?

Not without training and the proper meds, I hope. AFAIK, you have to drug people to suppress the gag reflex when inserting an airway. It just will not go in otherwise. As well, there are plenty of ways to bung it up if you're not skilled.

An airway would only be used in a first aid situation if the patient is unconsious, then there would be no gag response.

If the patient started regaining conciousness the airway should be removed asap.

Nice FAK Tengu, I assume it zips onto a bergan like any other side pouch?

100% right, please people, do not carry an airway until you have recieved a lot of training, you could end up doing more harm than good
