The Gary Sinise Foundation was officially formed in 2010, and is dedicated to serving the Nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
The Gary Sinise Foundation is very well known for their support of the troops. They are now offering these cool Black beanies embroidered with the foundation logo. Not only will you get a nice cap, but it will also do some good for our community.
We’ve been big fans of Solar Stik’s kinetic energy collection system for some time now. But now they’ve partnered with INI Power to offer their IntelliGEN flex-fuel generator which we wrote about earlier this year. They both offer a variety of energy collection and management technologies and what’s even better, they are more than happy to work together.
It might seem odd to see energy companies at a medical show but you have to consider that many medical devices require power to work. In fact, think about disaster areas. Not only is there a great deal of suffering that requires medical attention, but there’s generally no shore power either.
Look for more info soon on both of these great companies.
Developed under a DARPA program, the Blast Gauge sensor system from Black Box Biometrics (B3) collects data about blast exposure.
One of the great features of the Blast Gauge is that it gives instant feedback after an event. Simply depress a detent on the face of the device and the Soldier gets a Green, Amber or Red light based on the level of blast overpressure. Additionally, the device can be interrogated and data about the last 10 events downloaded and reviewed by medical personnel to allow them to characterize the exposure and formulate a treatment plan.
The device is small and can be mounted on the rear of the helmet as well as the chest and shoulder allowing for more accurate collection of overpressure waves and their effects on different areas of the body.
I see a lot of advantages with the Blast Gauge. It is compact and lightweight, offering immediate feedback to the Soldier. Additionally, it assists in triage and subsequent treatment options as well as overall research into blast overpressure.
If you’re a major league sports fan you’ve probably already heard of 2XU. They provide a wide variety of garments that offer muscle containment, increase circulation resulting in heightened proprioception meaning that the wearer becomes more alert and agile.
The human performance advantages of 2XU have already caught the eye of several SOF units who are in the process of trying garments out.
The CASEVAC panel is now a common sight in many helos and combat vehicles. What makes the ATS Tactical’s version different is that it isn’t just a panel of generic GP Pouches. Instead, they manufacture purpose built pouches like this one for bleed modules.
In fact, look for these panels packaged with new Polaris MRazr.
Rip Shears showed us a prototype Kydex sheath for their shears by Survival Sheaths. Naturally, it is designed specifically to fit shears fitted with the excellent Ripper which is used in a draw knife action to rapidly expose wounds and cut away equipment. Prototype sheaths include MALICE clip and Bladetech Tek-Lok attachment systems.
This will give you a shot of the Mystery Ranch SpadeLock Med Panel in a 3-Day Assault pack.
As you can see, the pockets are mounted via hook and loop to the SpadeLock making configuration and use a snap.
This is really more of a teaser for the new MultiMode IFAK from Marz Tactical. Officially launched at SHOT Show, the MultiMode IFAK can be mounted to a vest or carried in a pocket, or carried around the neck for a mass trauma event. It’s quite versatile but we don’t want to spoil the surprise.
Be sure to check it out at SHOT Show.
