Wounds are an all too common problem in the backcountry no matter how hard you try to avoid them. While cutting the corner off a plastic bag or a bike bottle sortof works to clean a dirty wound, an irrigation syringe works significantly better. Syringes can also come in handy for suctioning vomit from the airway of an unresponsive patient (you'll need a suction tip) and flushing eyes or ears. We offer three types of syringes to meet a number of needs and fit in our first aid packs; the suction tip is sold separately.
For irrigation and suction purposes, choose our 60 cc syringe. Use it tipped with a 26 FR PVC nasopharyngeal airway for suction (sold separately) and without the tip for irrigating wounds, eyes, ears - or for enemas. It fits into the elastic loop on our Guide First Aid Pack and our Expedition First Aid Pack.
The 30 cc syringe is designed for irrigating wounds, eyes, and ears; it cannot be used for suction. It fits into the elastic loop on ourGuide First Aid Pack and our Expedition First Aid Pack.
The 10 cc syringe is designed for irrigating wounds and eyes and fits into the elastic loop in our Minimalist First Aid Pack.
