A: I recently purchased the advanced medic first aid backpack. As a surgical nurse I am aware some surgical instruments are $1k / per piece. Sutures can fetch $40 / ea. So if you want to nitpick every individual item you would be looking at maybe 2 to 4 times the value of what you pay depending on where you purchase the items from. This kit has north american rescue tourniquets which I bought 2 online from amazon for $58. The fact that it has cervical collars for an adult and child and oral and nasal airways which are life saving pieces of equipment are invaluable. my normal day at work is assisting gassers with intubation, extubation, oral airway management, surgical trauma care, slapping instruments in surgeon's hands etc for the last 16 years. I know a thing or 2 about trauma care and emergency care. This kit was a no brainer. I am taking a control the bleed class at a local trauma center and plan to assist a trauma surgeon to help teach in the community. She and the manager for the trauma dept are excited to see my newly purchased first aid backpack. After taking a local disaster preparedness class, the instructors learned about my purchases and preparedness and asked if I would move to their neighborhood and be willing to help teach their course to prepare others. Enough said. This kit could be a life saver in the right hands at the right time. I honestly don't know how they were able to offer this kit for the price they offered it for.....it is a steal...... it also comes with a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer to take blood pressures. I had to pry my husband away from it ..... he was like a 5 year old in a candy store wanting to take everything out of the package and play with it. If you are a first responder you understand the value.

A: A set of different sized plastic pieces that go in mouths to open the airway.

A: Both are currently in stock!
