COMPANY NEWS: SAVING THE WORLD, TWO STRAPS AT A TIME.

At the EMS Expo in Orlando this October, we saw an encouraging and notable shift in the way we interacted with our customers, old and new. We spent little time explaining the StatPacks philosophy. Attendees already seemed aware of the benefits of carrying gear on their back, rather than their side. I couldn’t help comparing the experience with our first show in 2003, when we had to sell the idea that backpacks are not just for search and rescue—two straps are better than one, even for an ambulance crew.

Since we first debuted StatPacks at the EMS Expo four years ago, we’ve used it to market each new year and to gather important feedback from our growing customer base. But this shift wasn’t limited to our customers—it affected our competitors as well. We noted many familiar product designs creeping into their product lines. Sure, we’d like a little credit, but we’re happy to see this as part of an encouraging shift in the EMS profession. After all, we recognize that this change is driven by medics in the field who believe in the new paradigm. We thank you all for your support and we look forward to a new year of even more progress.

You’re part of a team, and our latest products are designed to reflect that. We’re excited to introduce The Bolus and The Breather, inspired by valuable information from field medics like yourself. Their common purpose: to take organization to the next level, lightening the load on every member of your crew. Working side by side, they make your whole team faster.
The Bolus holds a large supply of oral and intravenous medications for basic and advanced life support. Allows easy organization of med vials and pre-filled syringes as well as IV set-ups and fluids. Versatile enough to meet local protocols for medication administration in many different departments and settings.

The Breather is an all-inclusive pack for airway control and oxygen therapy. Designed to hold the 02 Module with a “D” or Jumbo “D” size Tank, it also fits many basic and advanced airway adjuncts and oxygen delivery devices. Like its twin, The Breather can be adapted to meet local protocol for oxygen and airway requirements, allowing use in a variety of departments and settings.

Used together, the Bolus and the Breather can outfit a two-person team to arrive on the scene fully prepared without overloading either individual. As with all StatPacks products, shoulder straps get you in and out safely and hands-free. Learn more on the Statpacks corporate site> or order yours today at the StatpacksStore.com >

Sometimes, field testing means exactly that. During the recent Major League Soccer season, the Real Salt Lake (RSL) athletic trainers became the latest medics to put StatPacks products through the rigors of a high-profile sporting event, on the sidelines of Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium.

“It is crucial for us to test our packs in different environments,” said Scott Nelson, the former EMT who founded StatPacks and still spearheads product development, relying on field tests from the streets of Baghdad to stands at the Superbowl. “There’s no substitute for actual experience. Working with the RSL trainers will help us to build gear that solves real problems for other sports medics.”

That’s exactly what drew Jake Joachim, the team’s head athletic trainer, to StatPacks: a specific need for his staff. “We don’t have a permanent training field yet, so we have to carry our gear to different sites,” he said. “I don’t have a stadium with an AED down on the field or in the locker room. It’s too old.”

After spotting StatPacks in action on the sidelines of an Arena Football League game, Joachim visited the company’s booth at a Las Vegas trade show, where he set his sights on the QuickLook AED. “This is perfect because it holds the AED, it’s very accessible and it comes in a backpack so it’s easy to carry around,” Joachim said.

Specifically designed for rapid access to an AED during the first ten crucial minutes of a cardiac emergency, the QuickLook AED comes with three sub-pack modules for additional supplies. Testing has already led to one improvement, making it easier to pull the AED out of the pouch. “We added a coating to the Neoprene fabric that made it a little smoother on the action,” Nelson said.

Inspired by these ongoing field tests, StatPacks has created new products designed specifically for sports and event medics. Currently in prototype and testing mode, these products are slated to hit the market in spring 2008.
