Explosive Ordinance Disposal Units Medical Kit (EODMK)

Overview

The Explosive Ordinance Disposal Units Medical Kit (EODMK) is a highly specialized casualty response bag tailored to meet the stringent demands of the U.S. Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams. Designed with precision and functionality in mind, this medical kit ensures that first responders are well-equipped to handle critical medical emergencies in high-stakes environments.

Design and Construction

This state-of-the-art EOD medical bag is constructed from Berry Amendment compliant 500D CORDURA® solution-dyed nylon, offering remarkable durability and resilience. The low-profile design, along with GhillieTEX™ hardware, significantly reduces the near-Infrared (IR) signature, making it an ideal choice for stealth operations.

• Durability: Built to withstand the elements with sand and water-resistant features.
• Self-Repairing Zippers: Equipped with silent 550 cord pulls for easy access in the field, while minimizing noise.
• Versatile Hang Capability: Designed to be conveniently hung in aircraft or vehicles using the robust top bag handle.

Internal Organization

The EODMK showcases exceptional internal organization with six hook-and-loop clear vinyl pouches in various sizes, enabling customization for specific mission requirements. These pouches can be easily self-labeled, providing quick identification and access to essential medical supplies:

• Four smaller pouches are specifically allocated for hemorrhage control products.
• Two larger pouches accommodate airway and intravenous (IV) products.

This efficient organization allows first responders to swiftly access the vital medical equipment necessary to address life-threatening situations effectively.

Quick Access & Mobility

The pouches within the kit attach securely via hook-and-loop, enabling responders to quickly detach and utilize any specific pouch they require for on-site patient care. The slim-line, low-profile design of the bag is complemented by anti-pilferage seals, providing an added layer of protection for all contained medical components.

For enhanced mobility, the kit can be comfortably carried as a backpack, with shoulder straps that conveniently stow away when not in use, making it easy to transition between carrying methods as the situation demands.
