Flight Medic Loadout: Every Piece of Gear You Should Carry

Flight medics work with limited space, weight, and time. Every tool has to earn its place on your person and in your bag.

On‑Person Essentials

• Gloves and eye protection.
• A staged tourniquet.
• Primary cutting tool – DLC‑coated ONE SHEAR® trauma shears.
• Penlight/small flashlight.

Why Better Shears Matter in the Air

In tight cabins and harnesses, you need a tool that cuts through layered flight suits, uniforms, harness webbing, and patient clothing without binding.

Placement & Carry

• Chest rig or plate carrier mounts.
• Flight suit pockets oriented for seated access.
• MOLLE panels for secondary/backup shears.

Dialing in Your Loadout

No two programs are identical. Build your loadout around your aircraft, protocols, and team so critical tools—including ONE SHEAR®—are always within reach.
