Rapid Access First-Aid: The Vertx Walker Medical Pouches

In an emergency situation time is of the essence, and your first aid supplies should be readily available. The Walker Medical Pouches by Vertx are designed to be ultra-portable (fitting into a cargo pocket) and provide quick access via tear-open grab handles at either side. Available in two sizes, the pouches feature color-coded shock cords inside (red = bleeding, blue = cardiovascular, green = airways). The overall pouch organization system is designed to allow quick identification of supplies when seconds count.
