Medical supplies group buys.

[CMP_5.56]

I had a thought recently while putting together a couple blow out kits. You see all these prepackaged kits, that are all a bit too pricey. Putting a couple together myself made me realize, they are over priced, and if you know where to go, you can get the items much cheaper.

That being said, I have seen many places that are selling medical items at amazing prices, but just a bit too much as far as quantity. Seeing the group buys in the ammo section got me thinking, why not group buys for medical supplies?

We can pool our resources, find the best deals and get our hands on medical supplies for Great prices.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

5 cats
3 halo chest seal packs
5 z pack gauze
I'd consider more combat gauze based on a price.

I think this is a great idea.

I could use more QuikClot, and large bandages. Possibly also a box or two of the "single serving" packs of NSAIDs. I'm sure other stuff as well.

Best place for single serving NSAIDs, in my opinion, is still Grainger. And there again, if we order bulk, we would all save money.

Here is a list of what I would like to get in bulk.

• Good heavy nitrile gloves
• z-pac wound packing
• izzy or H bandages
• NPAs
• Olaes bandages

And anything else people can think of, we can search around and find a source.

Definitely a terrific idea. I need to get a kit for my range bag and car. Can you post a few of the key items you're looking to buy in bulk and what their individual prices might be?

This is a great idea. I was just sitting here last night buying a handful of stuff for a few kits through Amazon. I found some decent prices on CATs and NPAs, but be wary of expiration dates on some of the things like QuickClot. There is at least one site selling Combat Gauze through Amazon for about half what you would pay anywhere else, but it expires next month.

I'd be in for 2-3 of the following, depending on the price:
- Quickclot Combat Gauze (green or red, not granules, and not the white-package stuff from Sports Authority)
- NPA w/lube
- Olaes bandage
- Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT)
- Hyfin or Halo chest seal

I have found a few dealers for smaller items and I think I know where to go for Hyfin chest seals and olaes bandages. Combat gauze is still the one item I'm unsure if we could find in bulk. Though for combat gauze, I have been going to ebay. Last one I picked up off of ebay had an expiration in 2014, and was $12.

I'm in for enough to put together at least another kit, possibly 2 if the deal is right.

Browse through fastenal. I have an account. Some items i save more than others. Until i have item # and qty i don't know.
See what the price is compared to grainger then deduct 10-15% off that on average.
