In this MyMedic hands-on review, we tested two complete MyMedic first aid kits and several standalone medical pouches. We found that MyMedic’s first aid kits are among the best on the market.
First aid is a critical component of any emergency preparedness, whether for minor accidents or catastrophic events. We field-tested these first aid kits and consulted frontline experts including ER nurse Teri and retired Navy medic Stan. Our team member Blake also has military training and has taught first aid courses.
I’ve had the opportunity to review several other first aid kits, but most left me underwhelmed. Initially, I didn’t have high expectations for MyMedic either. However, after thoroughly using their kit, I can confidently recommend them as one of the few companies offering a truly comprehensive first aid solution.
I keep their first aid kit in both my car and home for emergencies. We’ve also secured a 15% discount code for all readers. This offer is time-limited, so don’t hesitate—place your order now!

The MyMedic MyFak Mini Pro contains over 62 essential items, making it more comprehensive than the typical first-aid kits I usually find. Despite it’s name, it is not a small EDC kit. This is a full kit with everything I need for nearly every circumstance.
The kit is very well-organized, with a new folding page design that makes it easy to find what I need quickly. It has extra space inside, which allows me to customize it to my specific needs.
I like how the items in the kit are separated into “Mod” packs. For example, there is one for burns. If I am treating a burn I can go right to that pack, I don’t have to search the entire kit for what I need.
This kit is versatile enough to handle minor injuries and severe bleeding trauma. To my kit, I added more trauma-related gear. Since I am often shooting at the range, I added another pair of chest seals, and I added a CAT tourniquet.
Blake says “I prefer a CAT tourniquet over the RAT tourniquet. They are easier to administer and provide more even pressure.” Stan said, “I also prefer the CAT and it was what we trained with in the Navy.” So, I had to go with the experts and add one to my kit.
The MyFAK Mini Pro is compact enough to fit into my range bag, vehicle get home bag, or even a basic backpack. The Hypalon MOLLE panel is lightweight and durable, and the versatile straps make it easy to mount and store.
I like how I can just pull the clip on the front of the kit and it separates from the MOLLE panel. A shoulder strap also deploys so I can throw it over my shoulder if I am in a rough area or the patient is a distance away.
MyMedic products are generally well-organized and well-stocked, and the MyFak Mini Pro is no exception. It provides a baseline for my first-aid needs with various small but crucial items. However, I strongly recommend seeking training as first aid supplies can only help you so much without the knowledge to use them.
Luckily, MyMedic provides some first-aid training videos with the purchase of this kit.

The MyMedic MyFak Mini Pro works as a great base med kit that will get you prepared for most emergency medical situations. If you don’t have many medical supplies, get this.
In my personal experience, the Sidekick has been a reliable partner during my trips hiking, camping, and everyday life. I like how it is small enough to put almost anywhere, and the Hypalon MOLLE panel makes it easy to attach to my pack.
The Pro model is stuffed pretty full, but I was still able to add a few items that I want to have on hand. For instance, I added more pain relievers and antihistamines since I sometimes need these when I am out on the trail.
