Stethoscopes

Medical professionals know that quality stethoscopes offer advanced and unique features designed to facilitate the accurate diagnosis and safe monitoring of patients. Special stethoscopes designed for newborns and young children, for example, use an elevated diaphragm and proportional sizing that makes their use comfortable and easy for both the patient and the medical practitioner. Popular stethoscopes designed for use with adult patients also offer advanced capabilities, including interchangeable parts and thick tubing to facilitate accurate patient monitoring, even under noisy conditions. Products like the 3M Littmann Classic Pediatric Stethoscope also offer a unique lifetime repair policy.

ICS Vests, ANSI-Approved Vests, Surgical Tape, Stethoscopes and Other Vital Supplies

Incident Command System, or ICS, vests are used by emergency response professionals for identification and to communicate professional designations in field rescue situations. Available in a variety of trim colors that conform to Hospital Incident Command System specifications, ICS vests offer Velcro closure, silk-screened title placement on both the front and back sides of the vest, name tag webbing and reflective trim. Civilian ICS vests come in eight basic colored varieties: the CERT command vest, PIO, safety officer, liaison officer, operations, logistics, planning and finance. ICS vests designed for professional wear incorporate colored trim around a reflective white body to designate the different functions of the emergency response workers.

ANSI-Approved High Visibility Responder Vests are required for all emergency responders as of November 24, 2008 by federal mandate, so institutions will want to have these on hand. The vests can be labeled with "Fire," "EMS" or "Police" lettering.

Surgical tape is another vital institutional and emergency medical supply, and manufacturers offer advanced products designed to provide hypoallergenic reliability. Used for both wound care and for strapping intravenous catheters into place, surgical tape is a versatile and necessary component in any paramedic or emergency response professional's tool kit.
