Hello,
Our service is looking at purchasing new trauma bags. We can get the Ferno 5111 Trauma/O2 or the 5107 Professional Trauma Bag for the same price (+/- $5).
Having said that, our service currently carries O2 in a separate bag and will most likely continue to do so, simply for weight issues.
Our current bag (BLS) inventory consists of the following (to the best of my memory):
1 Adult Sized BVM/Pocket Mask
1 Res-Cue-Vac Suction
1 Set OPAs
1 Set NPAs
20 4x4s
10 2x2s
10 AB Pads
1' Tape
2' Tape
6 3' Kling
6 6' Kling
1 Burn Sheet
1 Emergency Blanket
2 Mylar Blankets
1 Adjustable Adult Collar
1 Adjustable Peds Collar
2 500mL Sterile Water
50 BZK Wipes
50 Sting-Stop Wipes
2 Tubes Oral Glucose
ASA Tablets
2 36' Sam Splints
1 BP Cuff
1 Stethoscope
6 Triangular Bandages
1 2' Tensor
2 4' Tensor
1 6' Tensor
Assorted WaterJel Burn Dressings
1 Clipboard w/PCRs/Pens
Assorted bandaids
6 Instant IcePacks
2 Instant Hot Packs
1 Pen-lite
1 Trauma Shears
2 Pair Safety Glasses
Several 95 Masks and Gowns
Assorted nitrile gloves.
My question is - would we be better off with the 5107 or 5111 bag. I'm inclined to go with the 5111 bag, only because it advertises itself as having a spot to hold the collars, a problem we've had with other bags. Has anyone had any experience with either bag? Any preference one way or the other?
Look forward to hearing your input.
