[QUOTE="Norman, post: 2041701, member: 4232"] Shy away from qwik clot granules, they need to be irritated out of the wound. Celox powder or celox A would be better, and some impregnated gauze would be better still. Combat sponges are good for large open wounds, but suck for packing in GSW/ penetrating trauma. For bandages I like the olaes much better than the Israeli/ emergency trauma dressing. I FAR prefer the SOFT-T tourniquet over the CAT. The SOFT is simpler and has a metal windlass opposed to the plastic on the CAT. You'll want an occlusive dressing for open chest/neck wounds. Lots of z pack gauze, kerlix/ cling, 6X6's/sponges, Ace bandages etc. Super glue works well, but I find it's better if you put steri strips over it. I have a few different kits. It all depends on your need, as form follows function. For my fighting kits I have mostly blowout kits. 2ea flat rolls of duct tape wrapped around them. 1 ea 4 inch Olaes bandage (contains occlusive dressing and z-pack gauze), hemostatic agent and an additional z-pack gauze. Some kits have 3 1/2" 14 ga angiocath for needle decompressions and cricothiroidectomy's. Eta I forgot to list nasal airway and tourniquet. My home kit has misc wound care items, the stuff I listed above, dermabond (medical glue) steri-strips, sutures nasal and oral airways, tourniquets, benadryl & pepsid for allergic reactions, epipens etc. [/QUOTE]
