Wound Management Materials
Compressed Gauze: This gauze is not only central in size but also provides a stable covering for the wounds. Its crinkle weave texture is also quite remarkable as it aids in the better absorption of body fluids which can be instrumental in covering larger exposed areas.

Chest Cover Tape (Foxseal): This chest cover tape is known to aid in dealing with Pneumothorax which is amongst the top killable reasons amongst soldiers. Foxseal adeptly maintains the lung pleura pressure by restricting any air contact from the chest damaging the pleural cavity for soldiers.

Breathing and Airway Management
Lubricated Nasal Airway Adjustment: This airway device is soft and latex-free as it is manufactured from PVC which is of good quality. It does ensure the presence of an airway in a patient with respiratory tract obstruction and therefore minimizes the dangers associated with a blocked airway.

Thermal and Environmental Protection
First Aid Blanket: Mylar and silver coated blanket, which assists in averting, instead resuming orienting the body temperature by retaining some body heat and providing coverage as well. This is very useful in preventing hypothermia when a person is exposed to the outside environment.

Supporting Supplies
Non-Sterile Gloves: The patient is secured and kept clean through these works by minimizing cross-contamination of the patient during first aid.

Cloth Scissors: These scissors cut across the dressings and provide access to wounds too with the simplest means and in the most efficient way.
