Kerlix

I am thinking about stocking up a new FAK.... and came across a choice in my surgical supply catalog.

Kerlix ____________(4.5"x12')
KerlixAMD________ (4.5"x12')

I have never seen any commentary on the Kerlix AMD.

  • Provides adjustable level of cushioning for additional wound protection; sterile in pouch
With the properties that it lists from the company, it would appear to be ideal for medics, emergency situations where higher level care may be delayed hours or even days. Anybody using this AMD stuff?



Opinions?
