Good Day to you all;

I would like to ask if any of you could recommend a supplier to provide me with rucksack type trauma bags, empty of course. I am looking at both the typical green bags and also the more tactical black bags also.

I have looked around and found a few places, but just looking for a direct manufacturer if possible.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
 
Blackhawk do a few good bags bit pricey I made my own brought a cheap molle bag and tailored it myself so it's just what i need it for, there will be other makers out there but as soon as you start looking for a tactical trauma bag the price shoots up, if you need any thing else let me know
 
I use a 5.11 Rush 72 hour patrol sack.
Just as good if not better than any 'trauma' bag I've ever used, but because it does not include the words medical or trauma within the description, it tends to be cheeper.
Contact intelligent armour body-armour-protection.co.uk/5-11-Tactical-Rush-72-Backpack/ refers.

Jjf,

I was recommended an subsequently bought from the Medical Warehouse, they have a number of tactical bags some designed for UK Police cp and firearms operations as well as the more traditional green bags.

I wanted to see the product before parting with cash so I met with there sales director Laura Lee in London who was very helpful showing me the different bags and then delivered quickly in time for an op I was starting on.

Definitely worth a google and a chat with Laura,

Regards,

Have a look at the so-tech range supplied by Fentons. It's a big rucksack with a smaller, quick grab bag inside for threat to life stuff. The main bag opens into a working role that it labeled and you can lay it next to the patient. Alternatively you can tear each section from the role and hand it to your mates to work from. Used the stomp and the med warehouse stuff but IMHO this is the best I've come across.
 
I like the look of the 5.11 Rush, Starlight and you are absolutley right; just because it doesn't say "such and such" in the title does not mean it is no fit for purpose. Marketing really grips my bits.

The Conterra Crossbow has a loyal following stateside with civvie wilderness medics but again you pay a premium.

I recently stumbled upon this medic bag which seems to tick most boxes but not extortionate. Only available in Red or Black and may be a bit bulky.
 
I can recommend Boscarol in Italy. They are a manufacturer and do bags, gear etc. If they refer you to a local sales rep, contact me, as I´ve dealt with them before. Minimum order is 100 Euros.
 
I have the 5.11 Rush 24 as a grab bag for my work in London and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with it. A bit pricey, but the bigger versions of it would make a great medkit bag. Lot's of little pouches and lots of external mounting points. I think they even do a responder one as well which is tailored for being a med bag, but as already said, costs more due to the "medical" label!!
 
I have a R-AID bag from Tactical Medical Solutions (USA) it comes either stocked or unstocked. As a lightweight immediate trauma bag its not bad. It works out quite cheap - but then UK customs sting you for importation! (about 50 quid)
 
Just a question, WHY OH WHY don't you have it bright red with the red cross on the front so every man and his dog can find the damn thing in a hurry in amongst any other tactically coloured bag!
 
I have just had a look around a Blackhawk Special Ops Medical bag this weekend; it seems a good, well laid out piece of kit; furthermore Intelligent Armour have these at £156.00 including VAT which, while still being a fair whack for a 40 Ltr day pack, is a lot cheaper than others.

The owner had slotted in two Maxpedition Cuboid pouches (Large) in to the main body which fit perfectly to make 'grab bags' for breathing (adjuncts, suction and BVM) and bleeds. A nice little outfit.

In the photo you can see that a conventional collar is too long and needs to be folded to fit but the flat-pack Nexsplint (which I have never used so can't comment in its effectiveness) will fit perfectly.

Does anyone know of a good medic bag which can take a CD cylinder (55cm tall IIRC)?

We use and supply these, they are an excellent bag and the O2 cylinder leaves plenty of space. If anything it is slightly too large for me, but then I like to go with essentials rather than kitchen sink. :)

Less than under 150 quid, but not available in black (blue, green or red).
