[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2606570, member: 24446"] I'll suggest this to everyone because almost every first aid kit I've ever seen is seriously lacking these...4x4 absorbent gauze pads, usually just labeled as "4x4's". When I was an EMT working both on FD rescue trucks and ambulances I discovered the one item we used more than anything was 4x4 pads. With any kind of moderate bleeding injury you will go through at least twenty and anything more serious you can go through 50 or more. Almost nobody has enough of these and ends up using unsterile materials like towels, t-shirts or rags. Buy 4x4's in bulk and understand that a single injury with moderate bleeding may use ever one you have so stock way more than you need. The first time you have to treat someone with a moderate to heavy bleeding injury you will be very happy that you over stocked. [/QUOTE]
