Ankle Medical Kit
Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics is on hand to discuss the Tactical Medical Solutions Ankle Rig, an innovative way to carry an emergency medical kit that you may need in a worst-case scenario. The rig contains a tourniquet, chest seal, and QuikClot Combat Gauze to treat penetrating trauma. The ankle wrap that contains these items doubles as a pressure dressing. The Ankle Rig medical kit is an easy and secure way to carry this gear and is suitable for everyday carry.
I went to their web site; they are bit pricey but I suppose some kind of wearable medical kit is important. Just checked my medical kit on the work truck and found nothing in it. Then I checked the medical kit at the plant and found nothing in it, which brings me to the conclusion I need to carry something myself.
When I was first introduced to this in early fall of 2013 in one of Caleb’s training courses I was skeptical about the comfort and conceal-ability. Decided to give it a try and wore it for 60 days every day including office environment, international travel and plant construction site. It worked really well. I recommend it.
Absolutely essential carry gear in my opinion. Of course, make sure you know how to use it effectively.
