Everyone should have a first aid kit, but what do you do when a few bandages, some gauze, and antiseptic just won't cut it? An emergency medical kit can prepare you for the worst, and whether the victim is yourself, a family member, or a neighbor, he or she will be happy you had your kit handy. Every trauma kit is going to have the basic medical supplies found in a first aid kit. However, an emergency medical kit will prepare you for much more than administering acetaminophen or applying a bandage to a small cut. If you purchase an emergency medical kit from Survival-supply.com, or if you chose to make your own, you should find flushing solution, hand soap, a variety of bandages, instant ice packs, EMT shears, sutures, a tourniquet, an irrigation syringe, burn aid, tape, gauze, gloves, adhesives and a splint.

Now, a single emergency medical kit wouldn't suffice for every emergency; that is why Survival-supply.com offers a variety of trauma kits. Survial-supply.com offers trauma kits for first responders and tactical responders. We offer kits designed for multiple victims, for the K-9 tactical field, for patrol officers, and even for professional search and rescue missions.

If you want to build your own Trauma Kit, you can purchase individual supplies like splints, chest seals, gauze and tourniquets from Survival-supply.com. When purchasing, or building, your traumal kit, it is important to choose a kit based on your medical knowledge and abilities. You should not attempt to administer medical aid that is beyond your training or knowledge base. Chose a kit that contains supplies you are comfortable using and administering. If you do not usually have a cell phone on you, keep one in your trauma kit. If you are a first responder, you will need to call 911 before administering aid.
