I can get most items through our supply, but there are certain things I like they do not have(Bolin, Hyfin chest seals). Would be nice to order everything from one place instead of separate orders; although I'm trying to convince our section to order some of the stuff, figured showing them why its better would help.
Mainly was just wondering whats new out there. Haven't really seen anything new on NARescue, or chinook med in a while.

Follow me on this one.....it's not usually the equipment that is new, just the recognition and education of what to use when. Make sense?
New and fancy decompression needles with a chest seal attached that has super stick against bloody chest wall tape would be useless if you didn't know how to recognize signs and symptoms of a tension PTX...I don't mean to be a wise-ass....just people look for the "L.C.C.D.I. factor and not the education or understanding of when or why to use it and under what circumstances....hence my original question.
