If you can't be bothered to type a list, I can't be bothered to look through a bunch of blurry pictures.

Discard the Tegaderm unless your gonna put IVs in your bag. Get more tape as well.

hey, i have the appropriate skills to use iv's but where i am i can only buy full boxes of needles which cost me 200 dollars for 50 , so it is not cost viable at the moment. it really sucks when you can get 1000 ml LR and saline solutions for 4 bucks a bag
thank you for your comment

Heh, if you don't want to buy bulk caths, you could always pick up a saline lock kit from RescueEssentials or Chinook.

I disagree. Tegaderm is small and light weight, and is useful for a lot of things besides IV covering. I prefer Opsite to Tegaderm, but have a couple sheets in every FAK. They are among the things I use most often.

I would agree with this. I actually prefer Opsites for IVs over Tegaderms, but Tegaderms are soooooo useful. They are good for those awkward cuts on fingers and hands. As a medic they are nice for that because I can put a Tegaderm on a finger, and it isn't so bulky when I put a nitrile glove on over it.

You can pack at least a dozen Tegaderms in The same space as one 4x4. No big loss in space and weight.
