This kit is exceptional for several reasons.
Initially of all it can be used as advertised: travel to third world countries to make sure they use sterile needles on you should you need medical care.
Field medics might also appreciate this kit. It will enable you to administer drugs while in isolated locations. The kit is waterproof, so you can take it pretty much somewhere, even in extreme environments.
Nursing/medical students can use this kit to get ONE syringe and needles of several sizes to practice injecting. It is hard to get syringes/needles, especially without prescription, but this kit has what you need to practice at home.
It also comes with an 18 gauge intravenous catheter for IV cannulation. Keep in mind this catheter is pretty huge, and it is usually used for blood infusions and emergency infusions. But, it is just as excellent to practice inserting IV catheters if you’re a student. (Keep in mind you’ll still need a tourniquet).
Other than the syringes & IV, nothing else in the kit is of much value. It comes with a pair of gloves, and a few antiseptic wipes, but nothing much. For the price, I reckon the convenience of needles without the prescription are worth the price.

2 things I wish this kit came with: Neosporin (or similar), and Needle Grips. But, both can be bought seperately and probably fit in the bag well enough.
Kit includes:
5-0 Nylon Suture w/Needle (nylon does not disolve)
1cc Syringe w/Needle
3cc Syringe
25ga x 5/8″ Needle
21ga x 1.5″ Needle
18ga x 1.5″ Needle
18ga Intravenous Catheter
Antiviral Towlets (3)
Nitrile Barrier Gloves

I admire the seller of this product for compiling a set of sterile medical equipment for the public, but I reckon they are doing a disservice by charging such a large mark-up for the very limited amount of goods provided.
I have built a similar kit piecemeal from other vendors, not for travel – simply to be prepared. My total out of pocket price was less than $7.00, and I really got multiples of all of the items contained. The needles and syringes are unfilled at nearly any farm store, and are the same quality. Also, the needles included in this kit are far too long for most purposes, 1″ or 3/4″ would be preferable.
I’m not sure what the catheter would be used for in an emergency situation without an adapter plug or administration set, but I’m sure the intended consumer can buy that along with a couple of liters of fluids in another kit from this vendor…
Comparable RETAIL prices, not wholesale – bulk prices are much surpass:
Sterile 3cc syringes, Google shopping = less than $14 per box of 100 with your choice of needles, $0.75 each blister packed with no needle.
Sterile 18G x 1″ needles, farm supply store = $5.30 for a box of 100
Sterile 21G x 0.75″ needles, farm supply store = $2.14 for a blister pack of 10
Sterile 25G x 0.75″ needles, farm supply store = $2.38 for a blister pack of 10
Sterile 18G x 2″ or 1.25″ Terumo catheter, Google shopping = $0.94 each – $0.72 each in boxes of 50. Chinese medical supply manufacturers above typically send an assortment with their marketing materials if you question for a quote – best deal around!
Sterile 1cc syringe with needle = Do you know someone with diabetes? Very likely they’ve got one to spare. Otherwise, it’ll cost you about fifty cents.
Sterile gloves, Google shopping = $25 for 20 pairs, manifold varieties.
Sterile prep kit, army surplus = $1.29, includes 4oz pot of povidone or chlorhexadine scrub, 20+ squares of sterile gauze, and a small fake bucket for dilution.
Carbon neutral bag = What? This must be where the price comes from. I can recycle some other product packaging for free, but thankfulness anyway…
Suture is harder to come by for the non-medical public, but manifold Chinese OEM suture suppliers place forward samples for the makings customers to review for FREE. Also, 5-0 suture is pretty thin – in the unlikely event that I need to break out suture, I feel 3-0 would probably be a surpass all-around choice. Although, if you’re traveling to a foreign people and need superficial repairs, 5-0 would probably be adequate.
As far as the actual renovate instruments go, driving suture through skin without instruments is tough business, even for the tiny needle on this suture. In an emergency, a leatherman tool will work, but isn’t really ideal. The excellent news is that you can pick up a clad minor surgery kit from most army surplus stores for less than $30.
Wraps for the pack can be constructed from linen or even a high quality pillowcase in a pinch. A difficulty canner with a gauge can be used to steam sterilize the double-wrapped pack, or you can question a friendly tattoo artist to run it through a sequence in their autoclave for a nominal fee.
Just my two cents – I really reckon you can do surpass than this if you need and know how to use these products. Including this extremely limited bundle of “medical equipment” in your luggage for travel to a third world people seems unlikely to improve the quality of medicine you would receive there, and will take up extra space that could be place to surpass use.
