Does anyone have a good local supplier for medical supplies? I'm looking for the following:
BVM (adult and ped)
OPA's
NPA's (Have plenty of 28s, looking for other sizes)
Sphyg (BP cuff)
Asherman Chest Seals
Couple other things in the same vein.
Would like to pay cash and support a local business instead of ordering off of Amazon.
Thanks for the help!
My wife gets quite a few of our supplies from Vetline. Check your local vet supply for some of it.
Actually a lot of med kits and supplies have been popping up more at gunshows. There's a SHTF vendor at Tanner that usually has a few tables of med tools and supplies.
I'd prefer to skip the gun shows, I don't want to get shot. I doubt that the dealers there would have what I'm looking for anyways.
BP cuffs ,old manual style or modern auto electronic, can be gotten at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, ect.. I know someone that works at a med supply warehouse and I will check to see if they have a public outlet.
Edit: You can also go to Pathways (Mississippi & Havana ?) for most all that is on your list.
BVM's are tough to find in any local shop. Bowers is a dealer for TacMedSolutions and they make a sweet collapsible BVM. It's pricy but nice, if want a regular one, see below
OPA's and NPA's even tougher to find locally, hit Amazon or see below
BP Cuff - Walgreens or see below.
Avoid the Asherman, the glue is horrible. Bowers has Halo's, by far the best currently avaliable, I can get HyFin's from North American Rescue
PM me with what else you may be looking for. I am putting in an order with Life Assist in a week or so and get a discount.
Some of the manuals are fair just cheap. Had a retiree bring in some cheap auto cuff from Wal-Mart and wanted it fixed. It was new and she did not like the readings.Quote:

Normally we would not touch it with a ten foot pole but I said I would check it out for her.
120 -80 = 114-72
160-120= 145-105
This was with calibrated test equipment and under ideal conditions. There is a reason a good simple vital signs machine is $3K( NIBP/Temp/SPO2) and we stay within 2 +/- of the target. SPO2 needs to be dead on. some of the finger ones are ok but then we pay $300 for the good ones since they make there way to the sandbox. The cheap ones are 2% or better off and in my world that is not going to get it.
Just some thoughts.
I was going to suggest that the OP get in touch with cmailliard because this guy knows his stuff!! So here you go! [Awesom]Quote:
