IFAK: Individual First Aid Kit |
Version 8 - view current page
Good day all.
I recently purchased an Air Force IFAK. I have plenty of likes & dislikes. Look down for more info:
For starters: The container isn't so bad. It will work with some ingenuity. The Universal Splint is awesome. It's the same one I had in Iraq. It came in handy several times. NOTE: this splint can be cut to accommodate the needs of the wounded.
Bellow you will find the Item # for things you might want. Mind you: Many things have an experation date. So if you carry this with you for any reason, make sure you have a monthly check to see if your items are safe for use in a Trauma situation.
Bellow: this thing is a fantastic piece of equipment! Only your imagination can limit you for what you want for it's use. Note as well- if you are injured during a hiking trip or a biking excursion this splint can be kept in place during an X-Ray.
Opening the IFAK. It's like all the Military Tactical Equipment out there. Just squeeze the clip latch & you're good to go.
Bellow: Here' the part I don't like. Much of the items in here could have been better secured & placed if there were actual individual pockets or what not.
Bellow from Left to Right & Top to Bottom: Tourniquet, Self-Adherent Latex Bandage, Lip Balm, Medical Tape (Of poor quality), Triangular Bandage, Medical Sheers.
Below: Here's the tourniquet. I don't like it. I does really resemble an Ammo Can Strap for Armored Vehicles. It can work in a pinch, but there are a dozen things I'd use in its place.
Comments, Questions, etc... PM me.
