This kit is recommended for crews with first aid training and ideally supplemented by telemedical support, enabling remote consultation with medical professionals when needed.
Kit Contents
The DOM is supplied in two rugged Pelicases to protect its contents in harsh marine environments, with an alternative option for soft bags if preferred. The kit is designed for up to ten crew members, with the option to expand for up to twenty crew by adding an adjunct bag.
The contents are logically arranged into modules, covering the most common medical situations encountered offshore. Additional specialist modules can be integrated, including:
