I recently went on a mad rampage trying to find a "good" medic pouch that I can carry my 1st line medic gear in, rather than dropping my med pack every time something happens. I came across the Tactical Medical Solutions Drop Leg pouch.
It can be worn as a sub-load on the leg or attached to your MOLLE rig (one of my biggest criteria because I dont like stuff on my legs). The inherent bulk factor that comes with all medical pouches is greatly reduced here, it is not much thicker than a double mag pouch (pics will illustrate) and takes up 3 channels of MOLLE, but it sticks out on either side enough to cover 5 slots. It also features MOLLE channels on the face of the pouch for attachments of other MOLLE/PALS pouches. A big plus was that it fits on my TT velcro tear away panel for even more access to the insides.
It opens completely (clamshell style) for complete access to the lower (the part that is upside down when zipped up) panel, which features mesh pockets large enough for ACS sponges, HEMCON, and ACS/Hyfin Chest seals. There are small elastic loops sewn on top of the pockets that fit NCD needles, NPAs, etc. It also features a handy pocket to stick your exam gloves (only fits 3-4 pairs).
Overall this pouch would be a great addition to any medic's kit for first line gear. I honestly think it is a touch bulky for most shooters/door kickers kits, there are packages out there that are a little tighter and built more for that mission (i.e. the TT medic pouch or some of the S.O. Tech gear). This pouch is made with the medic in mind, everything is accessible and compartmentalized so you dont have to move something out of the way to get to something else. Four stars out of five in my book. Hey nothing is ever perfect.
PICS TO FOLLOW SOON!!!!
