The Offshore Kit

Bluewater medical kit for crews 24+ hours from definitive care. Diagnostics, advanced airway, expanded wound and medication coverage. Tether Medical integration ready.

The MMG Offshore Kit is the kit you carry when help is more than a day away — bluewater passages, transpacific crossings, Hawaii runs, Caribbean transits, expedition cruising. Your operating model isn't 'stabilize until EMS arrives' — it's 'manage this patient onboard for 24 to 96+ hours, with telehealth as your scope of practice.'

That changes what goes in the kit. We add diagnostics so you can actually trend vitals: digital thermometer, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, pulse oximeter, and glucometer. We add advanced airway: pocket masks, OPA and NPA sets, and a manual suction unit for an unconscious patient who can't protect their own airway. We expand life-threat coverage to two CAT tourniquets, two QuikClot hemostatic packages, and two vented chest seal twin packs. Wound management gets a skin stapler with remover for scalp and limb closures that won't hold with Steri-Strips, plus burn-specific coverage with twelve burn cream packets and dedicated burn dressings.

The medication panel is the OTC complement you need for a multi-week voyage: pain, fever, allergic reaction, motion sickness (with Sea-Band as a non-pharmacologic backup), full GI suite, anti-fungal for the head and feet, swimmer's ear drops, aloe for sunburn, and Afrin for nasal congestion.

Where Offshore is designed to integrate is Tether Medical. The kit is built to accept the Tether prescription panel — antibiotics, advanced anti-emetics, Rx-strength pain control, scopolamine — fulfilled after a physician consult and labeled to fit the divider system. The kit also qualifies for annual Tether certification: freshness audit, expiration replacement, and an onboard certificate that documents the kit's standard of care for charter and insurance use.

This is a serious kit for serious distances. 

Best for / Not for

Best for:

• Bluewater voyages, transpacific, transatlantic, international 

• Expedition cruising, charter operators, professional captains

• Crews 24+ hours from definitive care for any portion of the route

• Operators integrating with Tether Medical for prescription augmentation

Not the right kit if:

• Coastal weekenders — the Coastal Cruiser is appropriately sized

• Untrained operators — many specialty items require training

• Day boats — the Dinghy Kit is the right cost-to-coverage match
