ORCA vs CONDOR: EMT Rip-Away Pouch
ORCA vs CONDOR: EMT Rip-Away Pouch ORCA (Black) / CONDOR (Red) First, let me state that I am not an expert in emergency medicine. I have taken CLS (Combat Life Saver) a few times before deploying and was a CNA nearly two decades ago. However, I feel a moral obligation to tend to someone in an emergency. I have two trauma kits (depending on what bag I bring with me), so I have one kit with me at all times. One is an ORCA and one is a CONDOR. They are very similar and very good pouches. Within my pouches, I keep: SECTION 1: --Chest seal (2 pack) --Trauma (bleeding) pack --6 2x2, 2 3x3, 2 4x4, 1 5x9 Abdominal sterile gauze pads --3 2-gram CELOX powder packs --6 pack of nasopharyngeal airways (all sizes) with lube --CPR mask --3 sets of nitrile gloves --Medical sheers SECTION 2: --CAT tourniquet --SWAT-T tourniquet --Israeli bandage or bandages --4” sterile stretch gauze --Extra CPR mask SECTION 3: --BooBoo Kit (ice pack, bandages, burn gel, antiseptic, alcohol wipes, antibiotic creams) What I like about ORCA vs. CONDOR ORCA: --Stitching seems better --The elastic is more “elastic” --ORCA has square corners, so slightly more stuff fits better than CONDOR --ORCA comes with first aid patch and mesh bag --Several dollars cheaper than CONDOR What I like about CONDOR vs. ORCA --Material is a little better quality. So if you plan on opening/closing/taking stuff out all the time, I think the fabric may hold up longer in the CONDOR. But for its intended use as a trauma kit, both bags are perfect. --Offered in Red Overall, for its intended use, I give the edge to the ORCA for value and overall being a better product, but they are both quality bags and both deserve a 5-Star in my opinion.
