Medical Modules
Conterra makes very nice stuff and the owner is in Mountain SAR, so knows how his gear is used.
We have three distinct seasons here: hot summer, pleasant fall/spring, and cold (in the mountains, anyway) winter. Thus we all tend to have three sets of SAR gear and my medical stuff gets moved from pack to pack.
I use Conterra
small organizer pockets. I find these very useful for organizing small modules.
I have a small wound kit (essentially personal medical stuff) and a SAM splint as basics. Depending on the size of pack I will carry, I add a small medications kit, an ortho kit (another SAM splint, some 3M Scotchcast, etc). If I know it is a medical call, I throw all this in a Conterra
Patrol Belt pack along with a wrist BP cuff, more wound materials, an airway or two, pulse oximeter, mini 3-lead ECG, etc. For serious medical stuff all this goes into a
Conterra ALS Extreme backpack along with O2, more airways, IV fluids, c-collars, etc.
If you need to carry a lot of medications,
this kit from Chinook is pretty nice.
