Side by Side Comparison of: Medique vs Coleman

Needed a kit and this does the job

These were perfect for Veterans shelter donation. Thank you

This is a nice first aid kit for an apartment. It comes Nicky packed in a nice plastic hard case. Comes complete with everything needed for small cuts and scrapes.

This 336 piece set has everything you need to provide basic first aid to people in need. I am a baseball coach & mom of 2 sons & this convenient set with handle is a must! I leave mine in my car so I always have it handy and my son has his own for camping with the Scouts. You can count on us to clean up scrapes, apply the proper bandage & ointment to prevent infection. A must have!

This kit is extremely well-priced. It has everything you need for a basic vehicle / outdoors kit, except for a high-grade blood-clotting patch.You can spend a bunch more to get such a patch inside a kit, and it will have more items ... but you won't need them as they are mostly just duplicates of what you're already receiving.Just buy this and the biggest clotting patch which will fit (the 50g package seems like the winner, and is what I carry), and you'll come out way ahead on cost.

Exactly as described, great for the car. If you're trained in CPR this is one of the few at this price-point that have a CPR face mask, which is why I decided to go with this one.

Nice size for the camp gear and has a good amount of items.

Has everything you need for a first aid kit. Better than the cheap Wal Mart ones and just as cheap.

Decently priced, it has most of the necessary first aid items, such as sterile gauze, anti bacterial cut paste, band aids, etc.Bought 2 to keep one in the car, and one at home!

Great size for storing under the seat in my vehicle. I keep this along with a trauma pack with a quick clot sponge. Seems to be reasonably well stocked, but thankfully I have not had to use it in any kind of emergency.

Bought this as a backup for backpacking expeditions. I always look for the larger items in such kits as I can add small bandages easily. This was a decent price for the offering ad I didn't want to spend much as products inside do have an expiration date, and hopefully I don't need to use it much before then!The case seems durable and should hold up well in a pack.I did not receive a discount on this product for my honest opinion, I paid full price for the item.

AWESOME kit full of all needs for when you have a little toddler! My son is Mr. Jump-off-the-couch and Run-in-to-the-table resulting in all sorts of cuts and scrapes and this has yet to fail me on a need.

The expiration date is coming up at the end of the year, but it doesn't really matter for what's inside this box. And the price is very reasonable. The little tote will last forever and can be replenished as needed.

I already had an older Johnson&Johnson brand medical kit that I keep in my car. We tend to do a lot of outdoor activities and usually someone manages to get a cut or scrape.This kit is very basic, but will do the job. The case is very sturdy as well. If I had it over again I would have probably gotten the larger kit. That being said I still may get the larger set and throw this one in our secondary car.Overall its compact and perfect for throwing in the car to have when you need it.

I compared this to the Red Cross recommended list and other first aid kits. Items not in this kit are noted!What this kit is:Excellent for the small home, office, or the car. I managed to buy the missing items for real cheap on Amazon, they're also available on Red Cross website if you need refilling. This case is durable, smaller than expected, and fit everything I bought. I like that I can empty and dump everything out in case I really, really need something or just open it up for bandages or cream. It is definitely not a 100% complete case and that's what I wanted. Medications do lose efficacy over time and something like ibuprofen I'll take from my bathroom before thinking of digging through a first aid kit.What this kit is not:Outdoor hiking, long term camping, or a catch all. Extra items specific in my camping kit: waterproof matches, fire starter, compass, work gloves, pocketknife, emergency drinking water, and you get the idea. The "61 piece" is really deceptive since it includes a lot of band aids and q-tips that most people have around the house but it does contain some items I don't purchase often like a blanket or gauze. If you want a first aid kit to cover an entire family for almost any accident I suggest buying a larger more expensive one that isn't portable size. If you frequent hiking or camping for days at a time, get another for that.::RED CROSS RECOMMENDED LIST::Adhesive bandagesButterfly closure **Not includedGauze pad (3 x 3)Gauze pad (4 x 4)Guaze pad (5 x 9) **Not includedGauze roll (2 x 10 ft)Triangular bandage **Not includedCotton tipsCPR mask **Not includedScissorsTape rollTweezers **Not includedVinyl glovesCompass **Not includedFinger SplintGlowstick **Not includedMoleskin Dr. Scholl's Moleskin Plus 24" x 4 5/8" Padding Roll, 1 CountRaincoat 4 PACK EMERGENCY GOTTA HAVE IT!

I bought two of these, one for each of our cars. The kit is in a nice sturdy box that has most of the essentials, but it could use a few additions. There are not very many adhesive bandages and most of them are small. I added several larger ones, and also a few more small gauze pads. The biggest deficiency is the minuscule roll of paper tape provided, barely enough to hold one small gauze pad in place. I added a normal size roll (1/2" x 10 yds.). The included first aid guide and pair of scissors are useful. At first glance the scissors look very cheap and flimsy, but they actually cut quite well.

Haven't used this First Aid Kit yet. I hope we don't need it but if, (or when,) we do it seems well equipped with good quality items. The video included by another reviewer pretty well describes it. We especially like the included instructions. Even if we've been through lots of minor repairs with kids growing up, it's nice to be reminded of the latest thinking in first aid. Actually, we bought two kits, one to keep in the RV, and one for the house. At the price of these kits it wasn't worth the chance of using the first aid medications we had on hand, so we discarded them.

This is small, but it does pack quite a bit in it. I bought this a few months ago and have been adding to it a little at a time. It's a good starting point, but I'm not comfortable stopping with this kit. I checked my Red Cross Manual for items that should be included in a first aid kit, and this falls quite a bit short of that. This kit has a small first aid guide in English and Spanish. The guide covers bleeding, burns, drowning, electric shock, fainting, fractures, frost bite, gas poisoning, heat exhaustion, shock, stings, sunstroke, and choking. First it gives symptoms, and then it lists treatments. It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it's a very handy little guide. Only drawback with it is that the print is very small. I need reading glasses to see it. There's one cold pack included. There's burn cream and insect sting relief, so it's geared toward less serious first aid care. Other than the cold pack, there's really nothing in it that would treat anything serious.

compact, cute and necessary if you are going camping or want this in a car just in case of an emergency.

I was surprised with just how much stuff they packed in this little box. I got a few this for our boat and it'll have almost everything we need. I did add a couple packets of sugar (some family members have diabetes) and some After Bite which even will all the contents there was still room to add. The products seem very quality as well but like some bandages that will fall off in the water.

Pros: Soft and sturdy case, neatly organized, has most commonly used itemsCons: NoneThis is a great first aid kit for camping/backpacking, an emergency kit, or home/office kit. I noticed that it is missing disinfecting wipes, which is something that would be useful when running water isn't available for cleaning a wound. Upon further research, I think most first aid kids actually don't have any, so I can't dock any points here. The plastic tweezer is not very useful, but most kits only have plastic ones because they're cheap. Overall, it's a decent kit, and you can always add a few items to complete it.

I was a little worried when I read some of the reviews, but it has great variety of basic stuff, and it all fits in the case with ease. I even found it has a little room to fit a few extra things you might want to add, unlike what a other reviewer said. I'm very happy with this basic little first aid kit, and impressed with how much is actually in it.

Awesome case, lots of bandages, tweezers were cool but disposablemy only problem was that it comes with gloves that are not wrapped, they are just floating around the cases so they aren't sterileif that bothers you, you can just replace them, but this is a great kit

This has a variety of band aids and some room to add additional items to make complete. IE compression bandages, blood stopping pads, sewing, ace bandage and gauze, etc. Great as is for cuts and scrapes, minor boo boos kids will get.

Not a bad little first aid kit but nothing special. If you need something to aid minor cuts to youre fingers then this First Aid kit is okay....any other injuries great than that will be hard to take care of with this kit.On the other hand though the actual case is pretty decent and you can fill it with other first aid essentials bought elsewhere.

Nothing like what is pictured. It's a clear, plastic cheap box with a handle. Things inside are seemingly what was listed, but VERY small. I'll have to add a couple of things (if they'll fit) to make it state approved, but if you want this box and the handle to look like the picture, maybe you have to order the larger size. I need it for an inspection, otherwise, I'd be sending it back.

I needed a first aid kit for my barn. Should have listened to my wife and built our own. This is Cheesy and probably good for one incident at best. I added some 4X4s to supplement it. First Aid/Burn cream is useless and shouldn't ever be used. Not sure why they included Q-tips but whatever. It is what it is but you can build your own for better.

For what it's worth, it only has enough for something to keep in a car for a say a camping weekend or something minor like if your kids are accident prone and MUST have a band-aid along the way to keep them from having a total meltdown. I'd say the carrying case is nice touch to have, so if you are always out with the kids at the playground and they get into the woods, and scrape themselves up, this would be ok. Once you get an idea of what you really need, you can buy the those items in bulk and replace them in the compartmentalized case.

I put a great deal of care into forming my emergency bug-out bag, so I don't know what I was thinking when I chose this first-aid kit. I should have read the description more closely and certainly should have read the reviews.There are better and more comprehensive first-aid kits available. This is an inexpensive, minimally-acceptable kit for small cuts and abrasions... and not much more. Check the ingredients list; what is important is what it doesn't include:* Pain relievers of any kind* Wound closure gel (such as NuSkin)* Sufficient adhesive bandage (the tiny roll of tape is minimal)* Snakebite kit* Tourniquet of any kind (not even a rubber hose)* BENDABLE finger splints (the finger splints included are basically popsicle sticks... and other similar essentials. I'm going to do some serious research tonight and add items necessary to create a full-necessity kit for emergency bug-out situation. What this contains is sufficient for basic minimal first-aid, but not much more.

I bought it, I hope I never need to use it.It has "stuff" in it. Once I put it in the trunk, I dont remember what is in it.May be cheaper if you buy the things you need at a local discount store, throw them into a zip lock bag, and put it in your glove compartment.I wont buy another. One purchase of this item was enough for me.

Okay kit, but after using it during a moderately serious fall, I removed and replaced some of the contents. Lousy quality adhesive tape went out and was replaced by more high tech stretchy type, added some polysporin. Removed and replaced the old fashioned bandaids with good quality name brand ones that don't turn your skin wrinkly white, and some better gauze pads. I didn't mind the extra purchases, because it is a nice little kit. Just open it and look over the contents and add and subtract BEFORE YOU NEED IT.

This first aid kit is in both of my vehicles. Although the items listed are in the case, it is very small. If you are looking for a large first aid kit, this isn't it. It is a nice case though and compact enough to stash away in your car.

Average. The product isn't what I expected. I could have bought different sizes of gauze, bandaid, gloves, ibuprofen...etc to put this kit together myself. The antibiotic ointment comes in little package and cannot be resealed after single use.

Meh...a lot of stuff of questionable use, but ok to throw in the truck for the odd skinned knuckle and small cut...but it will not support any serious trauma repair or reduction. In retrospect, I should have purchased a military-style platoon level trauma kit...oh well. This kit is fine as long as you realize it is only for VERY minor superficial nicks and scrapes.

I love the concept of having a small and compact kit in the car. It came with a large variety of items for the price. Unfortunately the bandaids just slide off and don't do their job well. The case is very sturdy and holds a lot of items.

This kit has most of the essentials for minor emergencies. A small scissors and a metal tweeters would have been nice but there's room in the box to add your own. The medical tape is the cheap kind but here again you can replace it. Small size kit.

Barely a first aid kit doesn't even have regular size Band-Aids

OSHA.. No where on the package or insert does it mention OSHA approved , it might be designed to meet OSHA but but not sure it ready doesIts small is good for a couple of uses , most likely will not buy again

No big band aides although it says they are there.

It would so lovely to find a first aid kit that actually was designed to organize the first aid materials. It always feels like a company bought a bunch of supplies, bought a bunch of containers, and then shoveled supplies into the containers. Not helpful.

With 61 pieces you'd think you'd be ready for a number of small emergencies with this kit, but mostly what you're buying is the plastic box. Everything in the box is the smallest size available and 10 of those 61 pieces are Q-tips! Better to put the money toward something larger scale if you want to be ready for anything more than a scratch.

The items that did have an expiration date were due to expire in 1.5 months. So this first aid kit was already past it's shelf life. A first aid kit like this should arrive with items that are at least good for a year, if not two. I returned it and asked for a refund. As far as the kit itself, it had a good variety of items needed to treat any minor injuries. The latches on the case were a little flimsy but considering how seldom you need to open a first aid kit, I'm sure they would have lasted for years.

Nice kit however smaller than i imagined

Very small and not a lot of bang for the buck

Small, limited , deceiving looking on line

All the bandaids are latex-free (which is great if you're allergic, i suppose), and are, unfortunately, incredibly cheap. They stay on for about ten minutes. I'm tempted to dump the contents and just use the shell for my kit, but it seems a waste.

Just got mine in the mail.... Very small. Don't trust the picture view it's rather small. The case is generically made and stitching is already coming undone. Everything about this appears generic and crappily made. I will probably ditch most of the products in this and add my own. Good thing I had a gift card for this purchase. Would not recommend this. Would be better off spending more $ and building your own to be perfectly honest

ok 2 stars are all I can give it because the zipper broke the first time I opened it. but the name Expedition is a over statement. This is only good for miner cut and things. I can't say anything good about the case it is just crap.

should have measured this one. Smaller than a childs lunchbox and the only bandaids in it were tiny.

Missing all of the normal sized band aids it said were included.

more supplies and better price at Wall-Mart

One of the catches on the box was broken inside the shrink wrap. This case would never be a long lasting piece of equipment because it is just too flimsy. I also felt that the kit needed additional items. I wanted to use this to replace an older first aid kit in my truck, but I will have to buy a new box first. The design of the box catch is fragile and poor.

Arrived broken and was different than what was pictured.

I am disappointed with the opening of this box. When you open the kit, the two pieces that hold the box together fall off. Everything immediately falls out of the box.

very cheap looking

This is just an expensive box of band-aids. Yes it's 205 pieces, but 175 of those pieces are band-aids. Any emergency that can be fixed with a bandaid does not demand a first aid kit.

Literally the worst first aid kit I have ever seen. It's more of a paper cut kit with nothing useful at all, just lots of very small band aids that are not necessary.

Not what I expected. .

total ripoff...small little kit with teny tiny bandaids. Getting gouged big time paying for the coleman brand name...DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!

Sure wasn't expecting a first aid kit small enough that it could fit in my purse! Would not call this a semi hard case either. It's a soft case with sub-par items inside. Don't waste your money. If the band aids and tape actually stuck, then maybe. But you can assemble your own kit for a lot less.
