First aid group buys?

[Bo Smith]

I did the Kerlix (Kendall/Covidien) buy because I can't abide Chinese-made dressings and bandages. Even the hospital I work at uses Chinese-made drek. I can't abide that for my own use. Who knows what's in it? I stock all of my kits, from my boo-boo kits to my trauma box with American-made dressings and bandages.

I was trying to do folks a favor by fronting the money and spearheading the buy. When I did Kerlix I got them shipped out to folks for less than China*Mart's website (and they're not available at their brick and mortar stores at all).

To make this work I would have to know what one item we wanted. Then I would search around until I could find a decent case lot price. I would part out the case and mail them out.

I have what I need, but not necessarily all that I want. That's why I wanted to go this, to share my experience and get folks some decent product. One moderate home accident can empty a first aid kit in a hurry.
