Virtual Museum EMS History

Dyna Med was one of the first "full service" ambulance equipment suppliers. Founded by Glen Hare, inventor of the Hare Traction Splint, the company expanded, publishing one of the first EMS directed magazines- Emergency Product News. This later was shortened to EMERGENCY, and published from the early 70's to the mid 90's.

Dyna Med further expanded its unique EMS manufacturing offerings with leather scissor/light holsters, jackets, hard case trauma kit, oral screw, Choke Saver, and finally expanding to compete with Fernos Washington with their own line of ambulance stretchers and stair chairs. The company eventually was purchased by Galls Police Equipment, which continues the Dyna Med line of EMS products.
