EMS & EMT Supplies

Medical Equipment & Medical Supplies

Just like being prepared for work, being ready for medical emergencies is a priority for EMS, first responders, police, and the military. Lifesaving equipment such as first aid supplies, diagnostic equipment, medical kits, and EMS/EMT bags are vital for EMS, first responders, and medical professionals to do their jobs. At Galls, we are your primary source for reliable EMS/EMT gear, medical kits, and first responder apparel.

Depending on the assignment or environment the type of medical equipment you carry will vary. EMS bags and kits come in many shapes and sizes. Some will need a basic first responder (BLS) EMT jump bag will be more than enough. Others will need to keep an advanced life support EMS jump bag readily at hand.

When it comes to the tactical medical supplies that first responders use, there are a variety of categories.

Medical Equipment Categories

Training

Having the proper training is crucial for first responders when dealing with emergencies. Without the proper training on lifelike equipment, they may not be prepared when an emergency happens.

Galls has simulation equipment designed specifically for different types of emergency response, including intubation, arrhythmia, and advanced life support. Training on the premium brands including CPR Prompt, Simulaids, and North American Rescue allows our first responders to be prepared and confident when an emergency arises.

Diagnostic Equipment and Infection Control Supplies

It is necessary when facing an emergency to have the proper diagnostic equipment and EMT gear to assess the situation and determine the next steps. Some key diagnostic equipment that all EMTs and medics carry includes:

• Stethoscope
• Blood pressure cuff
• Pulse Oximeter
• Thermometer

First responders need protection from antigens and disease just as much as emergency victims. There are multiple styles of EMS supplies that our first responders use on a daily basis, including safety glasses, medical gloves, PPE, hand sanitizers, antiseptic and disinfectant wipes, and biohazard waste bags.

Many EMTs start off their first-aid inventory with a protection kit such as the Safetec Universal Protection Kit. This kit is a must for any first responder who is at a scene where body fluids are present. It includes a Red Z solidifier, medical gloves, wipes, face masks, and more. It is designed for your personal protection, plus supplies for area clean-up.

Lifesaving

Saving a patient’s life is a challenging task. Not only do our medical technicians have to deal with the stress of the situation, but they must also have all the EMS medical supplies and EMS equipment that will assist them in executing lifesaving procedures. Many medical professionals start with a first responder kit. There is no real definition of what makes a first responder kit, but some items certainly fit the category: medical gloves, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, splints, stethoscopes, emergency blankets, and EMT bags to keep your medical supplies organized.

For our first responders, the fully loaded Elite First Aid Tactical Trauma Kit 3 includes 25 different types of emergency medical supplies featuring a blood pressure cuff, casualty blanket, pen light, bandages, and much more. This EMT backpack is durable, lightweight, and has exterior MOLLE webbing for easy attachment of additional pouches.

The Dyna Med Trauma/O2 Access ALS Complete Kit is needed for advanced life support situations. This medical equipment bag allows first responders to safely administer treatment and oxygen on the scene for the critically wounded. This medical bag has color-coded modules to keep your supplies organized and ready for use while the side O2 compartment ensures easy access to EMS tactical gear. This paramedics bag also includes ALS dressing, airway supplies, burn supplies, and much more.

A staple for the majority of medical kits is going to be the North American Rescue CAT Tourniquet, Gen 7. It was named the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army after it was found to be 100% effective in stopping blood flow in both the arms and legs. The North American rescue CAT is designed for all weather conditions, is lightweight, and has one-handed application.

Besides trauma kits, there is a multitude of EMS gear that’s needed for lifesaving. Every emergency is different, so it is imperative that they have standard emergency medical products like:

• CPR equipment
• Oxygen equipment
• First aid supplies
• AEDS
• Intubation supplies
• Other medical accessories

Immobilization

Stabilizing the patient after an accident, whether it’s a broken arm or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires additional EMT Equipment. Depending on the level of injury the equipment used may range from immobilization braces to splints.

The EMI Emergency Medical Immobilizer Splint is a flexible foam-padded splint with multiple applications. This pliable splint can mold, fold, and shape to any desired configuration to support fractures and injured limbs. It’s also reusable, lightweight, waterproof, and radiolucent. Additionally, this medical splint is his-vis orange and cuts easily with a pair of trauma shears.

Additional Paramedic Uniforms & EMS Clothing

When first responders are on the scene delivering medical treatment, they keep certain instruments on hand such as trauma shears, penlights, etc. The best way to keep up with all this EMS tactical gear is with our selection paramedic uniforms and EMS clothing including paramedic pants, EMT jackets, EMT belts, and more.
