I've only purchased from Galls and Emergency Medical Products Inc (BuyEMP.com).

I think both offer relatively good deals, but I'm not sure I would buy from them if I had to buy supplies for the entire department, I would probably shop around a bit more.

You just reminded me - we use BoundTree too... mostly for ALS stuff but I don't order that stuff - I have an "ALS Coordinator" that handles that.

I like Galls because they let me set up a direct billing relationship... I buy online, they bill the district treasurer.

I ordered by credit card at 2:30pm on a Monday, and the items arrived at 10:30am Tuesday. They sent the package over night, express with UPS-For FREE. That's even better than just plain old free shipping!

My classmate does purchasing for her squad and uses "EMS Warehouse" ???? in New York. - She loves it - they usually beat EMP or Moore, when she quotes their price, and they send her samples of EVERYTHING new.

sam splints
Oh - and there are supposed to be new "no-name" but just as good SAM splints out now.

For half the price

Structural, Aluminum, Malleable - Splints are just about the greatest thing since sliced bread..

A couple SAMs and a dozen cravats and you've got yourself a kit outfitted for any off-road adventure.

If only they cost a bit less; 12-14 a piece are a bit much, even though they are great. I bought a dozen on eBay for 9.99. I just have to stop getting angry when the ER throws them away. I wash the used ones and add them to my wilderness kit.
