Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Surgical Kit is a 16-piece set of stainless steel instruments and small supplies in a foldable nylon pouch that closes with two snaps, sized to add to a medic bag or home kit.

The pouch is an upgraded design based on a WWII-style military surgical kit. Unfolded, it lays out in three sections: one pocket and two sections where elastic straps hold the instruments. The forceps, iris angled scissors, scalpel handle, needle probe, dental pick and tweezers are stainless steel, and a penlight, a suture, alcohol prep pads and BZK antiseptic towelettes travel in the same pouch.

Contents: curved forceps, 2 straight forceps, 4.5" iris angled scissors, a scalpel handle with 2 scalpel blades, a needle probe, a dental pick, stainless steel tweezers, a penlight, a suture, 2 alcohol prep pads and 2 BZK antiseptic towelettes. The pouch measures 1.5" W x 10.5" H x 5.75" D and weighs 0.55 lb. Colors and SKUs: Olive Drab 80122OD, Black 80122B and Tan 80122T.

Keep the folded pouch in the same spot in your medic bag or home kit, inspect it on a set schedule and after each use, and check any dates printed on the packaging. Replace used blades and supplies before the pouch goes back into service.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE POUCH: Add the folded pouch to your medic bag, trip pack or home first aid shelf, and keep it in the same spot every time. At 0.55 lb it adds little weight to the load.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the two snaps and check all 16 pieces against the contents list: the instruments, the suture, the penlight and the antiseptic packets. Return each instrument to its elastic strap when the count is complete.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: The pouch lays out in three sections: one pocket and two sections with elastic straps that hold the instruments. Note where the scalpel handle, forceps, scissors and tweezers sit before you need them.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Check the scene for hazards before you approach. Call 911 or activate EMS as your protocol directs, then bring the pouch to the person who needs help.

5. OPEN AND LAY OUT: Open the two snaps and unfold the pouch on a clean, flat surface. Leave each instrument in its elastic strap until you reach for it.

6. USE ITEMS BY NAME: Reach for each item by its name, such as the penlight, the tweezers or an alcohol prep pad. Use each one as its own packaging directs and only as your training allows.

7. REPORT AND HAND OFF: Tell the arriving EMS crew what happened and which items you used. Set any used scalpel blade apart from the pouch for disposal as your protocol or local rules direct.

8. RESTOCK AND CLOSE: Return each instrument to its strap and replace any used blade, suture, prep pad or towelette. Check any dates printed on the packaging, then fold the pouch and close the two snaps.
