These medium organizers are just right for flat-fold H bandages and similar. I can keep things organized without adding too much container weight to the main bag.
— Jeff Johnson

A trauma kit needs organization. Items likely to be needed together should be together. These bags make it easier to have sub-kits of compatible items. They also are great to build out “toss” kits.
— PoliDoc

Excellent product. Well constructed, like all Conterra products I have used. This pack is being used for MCI/active shooter incidents in our county. It can work with a plate carrier and rotated out of the way, when not in use.
