  • Moisture Protection: Store bandages, gauze, and medical tape in smaller pouches to keep them sterile and dry.

  • Clear-Front Pouches: Quickly see what’s inside—saves time in an emergency. (We do have full Metalized option also available.)

  • Category Kits: Use one pouch for wound care, another for meds, another for burn relief, etc. (label with a marker or printable label).

  • Travel-Friendly: Toss a compact pouch into your car kit, backpack, or bug-out bag.
