Emergency Blanket: Commonly called a
space blanket due to it’s space-age look, this is a blanket that seems it
wouldn’t keep a potato warm.
However, placed over a casualty in shock, it’s Mylar construction will keep a
casualty toasty warm and will seal out 50 degrees of temperature.
It is easily molded around a victim.
It’s not used as a general purpose blanket due to its fragility.
A secondary use for the space blanket is to signal aircraft. It folds
into a small package, and is found in many survival and field medical
assortments, as well as vehicular first aid kits.

TacMed Operator
IFAK:
This is a compact kit for the effective basic treatment of injuries associated
with anything from combat trauma to range – er – misfires. It is designed not to

for quick access to the right tools. Medical equipment inside includes:

1 Petrolatum Gauze pad Burn Dressing – 12.7x15.24cm
1 Nasopharyngeal Airway 28F w/Lube

Tampon: Other than its uses in
feminine hygiene, the tampon is quite useful in plugging bullet wounds.
Stuck in a bullet hole, it will stop all the damage due to bleeding for
10 minutes, and ½ the damage for 50 more.
Soldiers prefer simple budget tampons in super absorbency and full size
which are easy to apply and often issued by supply activities; since this
property of tampons was discovered, tampons have been issued to medics as well
as to females for feminine hygiene. Weight: 0.6 kg, box of 20; Price $34
Tranq
Autoinjectors: Similar to the atropine autoinjectors described in
Twilight:2000 but loaded with a fast-acting tranquilizer drug, these devices
were originally made for use by mental hospitals and police, but the merc and
military trade soon adopted them.
When applying one to an unresisting target (one surprised or subdued by unarmed
combat), the user may choose the body part the injector is used on. Resisting
targets must be subdued using unarmed combat before the injector can be applied.
As with tranq
darts, a hit in any part of the body will be effective eventually, but some
areas give faster results than others. Head hits result in instant
unconsciousness. Chest and abdomen hits result in unconsciousness after 1D6~2
phases five to 15 seconds). An arm
hit requires the target to roll his Constitution or less on 1D10 to stay awake
each phase. The drug will take effect even if the injector is removed
immediately. Tranq autoinjectors also affect dogs in the same way as tranq
darts. Weight:0.1 kg per set of
three. Price: $75 per set of three
Water Chlorinating
Kit: This kit contains ampoules of calcium hypochlorate sufficient to

also contains 50 units of iodine for individual canteen disinfections. Weight
2kg; Price $1000 (S/S)
