"There is no aid bag that every medic will agree upon"

That may be true, but our pack will get you close! The Difference is in the Details.

'Versatility', 'Customizable' and 'Modular' were the key focus in the design of this pack. Tactical environments and operations are fluid so you need to be flexible, and so does your gear. This is the next generation in medic packs. The CTOMS™ MED 2ndLine™ is a low profile aid bag with a surprisingly large capacity thanks to the efficient organizational layout. The slim profile of the pack allows the wearer to operate more effectively in confined spaces such as vehicles, aircraft and buildings. Should the pack capacity be too small for the given mission, the External Module can be quickly attached with two zippers and the existing compression straps, doubling the packs capacity. Both modules can be independently opened while the External Module is attached.

This is 2 packs in 1. The External Module can be used to carry personal items including a hydration bladder while the main bag contains medical equipment. It can also be used independently as an escape & evasion pack with the stowed low profile shoulder straps.

The internal layout of the pack is customizable with any variation in the use of the Book Folders, Quad Fold Pouches, MARS™ Panels or other accessories sold separately. The labels are left blank to allow the user to personalize them in any language or wording of their preference. The labels glow in the dark to allow backlighting the label text for fast recognition in low light.
