Ebay!!!! My dad is an EMT and medic instructor, and he buys stuff on Ebay. If you don't mind used stuff (It's much cheaper).

Just talked to hubby (paramedic) and he says he wants to type this out...so here we go...

Dvldoc here... make sure that the equipment in your first aid bag doesn't violate your protocols. If you're not on duty then you need to be carefull about what type of aid you render for purposes of CYA and liability. Having an ambu bag, oral airways or a pulse ox probably would be fine... just don't go intubating or decompressing any chests out of the back of your car. That being said I'll get down off the soap box.

Probably the best place to find that type of equipment would be at Gall's. They have catalouges all over the place and I'll bet you can find something on their website. I think a small, basic pulse ox runs around $300. Another source might be Our Design's, but I think they do more novelty stuff then actual equipment.

Okay back to Triage here, all I asked him was for the Galls link..LOL, but he is so on the nose! Oh my half the stuff we have in our own first aid kit in the car we can't techically use unless under good samaritan law..kinda..LOL! Galls is great. You may also go to the JEMS website and check out their links too .

My hubby got the COOLEST nylon briefcase thing at OUR DESIGNS...personalized and everything with the Maltise Cross and has lasted so many years of abuse!!!! Quality stuff!!!!!!

Nursing sites can also have such things too...so don't forget to check some of those out (I got some great shears there for a fraction of the price..just had to wait for deals! And steths..oh boy, wait for their sales...can get some mighty fine bargans!).

Good luck..hope this helps you out..If I can find more I will let you know!!! :)
