Thomas EMS THS500 is the Thomas EMS Triage Pack, an economical and purpose-built pack designed around the START system (Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment) to assist EMS responders in quickly assessing and tagging patients during mass-casualty incidents or large-scale emergency events.
This triage kit typically includes:
Multiple color-coded flagging rolls for patient identification (e.g., red/yellow/black/green/orange)
Trauma shears for rapid access and cutting of clothing
N95 masks (large and small) for respiratory protection
Antiseptic cleansing towelettes for basic wound cleaning
A set of Berman airways for basic airway support
2" cloth tape and a Sharpie penlight for patient marking and visibility
The pack is designed to be spacious enough for additional triage or treatment items to be added according to agency protocols, and it typically features carrying options such as a waist belt or shoulder strap for ease of use in the field.
