4 inch x 16 inch Water-Jel Burn Dressing
0.9 gram Bacitracin Antibiotic Oinment
1/2 fluid ounces USP 10% Povidone-Iodine Topical Solution
10 Water Purification Tablets
An essential item omitted from both of the above kits is a pair of all-purpose EMT shears, which could easily be carried in the combat webbing next to the medical kit, for rapid access.
This contemporary individual combat first aid equipment is a lot different than when I was a soldier, and is even better than what I have in my own personal Emergency Medical Technician trauma kit.
Being retired and on a pension, my medical license expired years ago, so now, I am only authorized to function as a "Good Samaritan" in an emergency situation.
Thank you.
1800 Beach Drive,
Unit 311
