I came across a handy little product that I just had to add to my ems bag of toys.
It is the Streamlight Stylus LED Penlight.

The Pros

As you can tell its a flashlight and it works pretty good as a flashlight while onscene, not so much when trying to find an address. The width of this light is the same as an ink pen. The height is a little bit longer than a pen but still fits nicely in your shirt or cargo pocket. I was surprised when I was shown how this light makes the eyes look. What makes this light work great in EMS is the green LED (make sure to get the green and not the white). For what ever reason when the green light from the LED hits the eyes the iris appears dull and matted while the pupil really shines. You really can see the pupil clearly even from a distance.

Streamlight has a history of making quality flashlights. I have owned a few different ones and have always been happy with them. Streamlights are much brighter and last longer than most other lights. This particular light will set you back a good $15.00 but I would call that a pro as these lights were originally priced much higher.

The Cons

Since it the same size as a pen ask yourself if you have ever lost a really good ink pen that you were wanting to hang on to. If you have to stop at Wally World before each shift to purchase a pack of Bic pens then you will probably loose this little thing, although it does come with a clip for your pocket.

Does it make to the manifest?

The Streamlight Stylus LED Penlight definitly gets placed on the ambulance manifest. It combines the need for a flashlight and penlight as well as improves the results when examining the eyes. Now lets see how long I hang on to it.
