SOMA – ZIIVAA

Wednesday, December 18th, 2013

The ZIIVAA belt is a natural, drug-free treatment for pain or discomfort caused by menstruation. The non-invasive treatments take only 15 minutes each with users often requiring only one treatment daily. Treatment using the ZIIVAA belt works faster and longer than opioids, making it ideal for deployed female service members.

The ZIIVAA belt functions by applying pressure on the hips, easing tension on the ligaments, pelvis, and uterus. One-size-fits-all, the ZIIVAA belt requires no energy source or maintenance to operate.

SOMA – Rip Shears

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013

The RIPPER unit from RipShears is an attachment for standard EMT shears allowing the medic to snip a hole in a garment, boot, or strap which obscures an injury, and then rip it open in a single motion. It’s much faster than the traditional scissors motion. Additionally, their improved design now integrates an O2 wrench.

Featuring user-replaceable 440A surgical blades, the RIPPER unit is 100% Made in the USA and will bolt onto the handle of most 7-1/4″ or 7-1/2″ trauma shears. It can purchased alone in Black or as a complete RipShears unit that includes imported trauma shears with Black, Orange, OD Green or Coyote handles. Additionally, the RIPPER unit is available in a glow-in-the-dark Firefly model. Recently, they improved the Rip shears by adding a Black Titanium Nitride coating, and increased the serrations on the blades that are hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 56C. And a new Gold coated blade with Pink handles was just introduced for the Ladies, or for situations where you don’t want your shears to walk off.

For The Ladies – CFF Announces The Cover & Concealment Sarong

Saturday, October 5th, 2013

Combat Flip Flops is well know for, well, for flip flops. But they’ve been branching out. And now they’ve added something completely new to their repertoire.

The Cover & Concealment sarong is manufactured in Kabul, Afghanistan so when you order one you support Afghan women. Something I’ve learned over the years is that if you want to promote goodwill and affect the local health and economy, empower the women. A great way to empower them is to help them establish businesses.

The sarong is a versatile piece that transitions from scarf to beach wrap to après skirt to evening dress with ease and distinction. CFF is accepting orders now for delivery in time for the holidays.

Customers can order the Cover & Concealment sarong at combatflipflops.com. Orders placed by Oct. 15th will deliver in time for Christmas. Retailers can contact Matthew Griffin at griff@combatflipflops.com for inquiries and orders.
