MyMedic Shield: Best Trauma Kit Ever?

What Do You Really Need in Your Trauma Kit?

People often ask me, “What is the best first aid kit?” That depends on what you are doing. If what you are doing is shooting, getting shot at or at risk of trauma, the best first aid kit is the SHIELD from MyMedic. The Shield a small light one patient kit that goes on your belt or in your car. It is always available and quick to use. I wear one on my belt when I am teaching or running a range.

MyMedic calls the SHIELD the toughest First Aid Trauma Kit on the planet. It is designed to care for one person with life threatening injuries until definitive medical care is available.

Features

  • Built by Hand in the U.S.A.
  • Lifetime Guarantee
  • Water Resistant

 

The Shield comes with MOLLE attachment bars which have a clever quick release lanyard. There is a strap which can route through the bars to attach the Shield to the back of an automobile headrest or any other solid object you want. Ready for any injury.

This is some sophisticated medical gear which can cause harm if misused. You need to get first aid training before you can use this kit effectively. By ordering MyMedic First Aid Kits you warrant that you have the required training and authorization to use the medical supplies contained within. MyMedic assumes no liability for their misuse.

 

 

The Rapid Application Tourniquet (R.A.T.S ) was new to me. RATS is a solid vulcanized rubber core with a nylon sheath combined with a unique locking mechanism make this a simple and incredibly fast tourniquet to apply to self or others.

The RATS is specifically designed to be applied under stress. The movements used to apply the tourniquet are big gross motor skills. It is much easier to use and train than other systems. The video below explains the system:

Due to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma MyMedic is receiving an unprecedented amount of orders and they are working at lightning speed to fill them. MyMedic turnaround time  is currently 7-14 days. Orders from Texas or Florida will be shipped immediately. MyMedic is getting orders out as soon as they possibly can.

About MyMedic in their own words:

TRAGEDYIn 2010 we lost our father when a semi-truck made an illegal left turn as he headed home.  It took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive and he was gone minutes later.
COVER-UPFor years an insurance company, trucking empire, local government officials and a judge-turned-truck-driver worked together to hide a mountain of corporate misbehavior.
THE TRIALThe truth was exposed and a jury awarded us an “inheritance”.  During the trial we learned that another driver immediately stopped to help our dad but didn’t have the knowledge or tools to do anything.

A COMPANY IS BORN

What if we could make the tools required to save a life simple, accessible and affordable?
What if we used our “inheritance” to change the world, to ease pain and suffering and save lives instead of buying… stuff?
If this happened again somewhere in the world, is it possible that we could be the reason you live?  We thought so…
