Best Emergency Kits and Crash Carts for Med Spas (2026): 10 Compared

For med spa owners, medical directors and clinical leads. Updated October 2, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not emergency kits or medical equipment, and none of the companies below is a Prospyr product or partner. Each summary reflects what the company publishes on its own website, checked October 2026. Kit contents, drug availability and prices change, so confirm everything in a written quote, and have your medical director sign off on what goes in the kit.

What should a med spa emergency kit include?

A med spa emergency kit holds the drugs and equipment your team needs in the first minutes of a reaction or complication, before EMS arrives. For an aesthetic practice that usually means three layers: an anaphylaxis and basic life support kit (epinephrine, antihistamines, oxygen, airway adjuncts, a bag-valve mask), an AED, and a filler complication supply led by hyaluronidase. Larger practices, and any practice offering sedation or surgery, add a stocked crash cart. Your medical director sets the exact contents, doses and protocols. The vendor's job is to supply the parts and help you keep them in date.

The 10 emergency kit and crash cart suppliers at a glance

How we chose this list

We looked for companies whose own websites show they sell what an aesthetic practice actually puts in an emergency kit or crash cart, then checked four things a practice manager can verify before a sales call:

• Fit for an office practice. Does the company sell to physician offices, clinics or dental offices, or only to hospitals and ambulances?
• Help keeping it in date. Does it offer expiration tracking, automatic replenishment or AED inspections?
• Published terms. Are prices, shipping minimums or warranties stated anywhere?
• Breadth. Can one vendor cover drugs, airway, oxygen and storage, or will you need several?

One honest gap: we could not verify a US company on its own website that sells a ready-made filler complication kit for med spas. Most practices build that part themselves from a pharmacy or distributor, under their medical director's protocol. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results.

1. HealthFirst

HealthFirst, based in Mukilteo, Washington, sells emergency medical kits, emergency medications, and compliance services to medical and dental offices. Its STAT KIT line includes essential (basic life support) models such as the SM5, SM7, SM10, 550 and 550-AI, and ACLS models such as the 750, 750-AI and Z-1000 Mobile ACLS.

What stands out:

• Automatic replenishment. HealthFirst states its kits include "automated medication and device replenishment before expiration," and it offers a crash cart auto-replenishment program.
• Tracking software. Its OnTraq system tracks, reports and replenishes kit contents, which is the part most practices let slip.
• Distribution. It lists Henry Schein, McKesson Medical-Surgical and Medline as distribution partners, so you may be able to order through your current supplier.

Right for: a med spa that wants a prebuilt anaphylaxis and basic life support kit with someone else tracking expiration dates. HealthFirst's site does not name med spas as a market, so ask how its medical kits map to aesthetic procedures.

Ask: which STAT KIT model fits a non-sedation injectables practice, what the replenishment program costs each year, and whether you can add hyaluronidase or other items your medical director requires.

2. Henry Schein Medical

Henry Schein Medical describes itself as "the largest provider of medical supplies, equipment, and services to office-based practitioners" in the US and reports serving 140,000+ physician offices. Its plastic surgery page names med spas directly ("Expand the reach of your Plastic Surgery Practice or Medspa"), lists Botox and dermal filler procedures among its cosmetic offerings, and catalogs crash carts for surgical practices.

What stands out:

• Aesthetic practices named. Unlike most medical distributors, it has pages for plastic surgery and dermatology practices.
• One account for most of the kit. Crash carts, emergency drugs and day-to-day supplies can come from the same distributor.
• Practice services. It also offers practice design, equipment sourcing and financing through its solutions hub.

Right for: practices that already buy supplies from a large distributor and want the emergency kit on the same invoice. Ask: whether a rep can help you build a crash cart list your medical director approves, and how drug expiration alerts work on your account.

3. McKesson Medical-Surgical

McKesson Medical-Surgical supplies physician offices and other care sites with branded and private-label products. Its site states that McKesson Medical-Surgical "is becoming Wellverse," so expect the name to change on invoices and in your ordering portal. Ordering requires a business account.

Right for: practices that want a large catalog and private-label options for gloves, airway adjuncts, oxygen supplies and first-aid stock. Ask: what license documentation you need to order prescription items such as epinephrine, and whether it can flag items nearing expiration.

4. AED Superstore

AED Superstore sells AEDs, pads, batteries and accessories, with a Healthcare option among its business types. It publishes prices: as of October 2026 its listed AEDs ran from $1,411 (LIFEPAK CR2 and HeartSine samaritan PAD 350P/360P) to $3,976.94 (ZOLL AED Pro). It also advertises an AED plan at $79.99 a month described as "everything included, everything managed."

Right for: practices that want to compare AED prices before a sales call, or prefer a monthly plan to a one-time purchase. Ask: what the monthly plan includes when pads or batteries expire, and the minimum term.

5. AED.com

AED.com sells new and recertified AEDs from Philips, ZOLL, Defibtech and Cardiac Science, plus pads, batteries, cabinets, CPR training and safety kits. It lists healthcare facilities and dental offices among its markets, reports operating for over 20 years, and offers AED program management and on-location AED inspections.

Right for: practices that want someone to own the AED checklist: inspections, pad and battery dates, and staff CPR training. Ask: what program management costs per year and how often inspections happen.

6. Harloff

Harloff designs and builds medical carts in Colorado Springs, Colorado, including "emergency crash carts," anesthesia carts and procedure carts. It states a twelve-year warranty and is joining the Capsa Healthcare family.

Right for: practices with a procedure room or surgical suite that need a lockable, labeled crash cart. Ask: lead time, which drawer layout and breakaway lock options suit a small practice, and how the Capsa change affects support.

7. Waterloo Healthcare

Waterloo Healthcare, in Phoenix, Arizona, states that it "has been solely focused on manufacturing medical carts for over 50 years," including crash carts, emergency carts, anesthesia carts and treatment carts in aluminum and steel. Its site speaks mostly to hospitals.

Right for: practices that want a dedicated cart maker and can wait for a quote. Ask: whether it sells directly to small practices or through a distributor, and what a basic crash cart costs.

8. Armstrong Medical

Armstrong Medical, in Lincolnshire, Illinois, reports serving the medical community for over 65 years and selling carts since 1971. It sells A-SMART aluminum carts (including a crash cart blue color), suction units, emergency pediatric resuscitation kits and laryngoscopes.

Right for: practices that want the cart and some airway and resuscitation equipment from one source. Ask: which cart configuration fits an office crash cart and whether it can ship the cart prestocked.

9. Dixie EMS

Dixie EMS (Dixie USA EMS Supply Co.) reports serving EMS, fire departments, hospitals and agencies for over three decades. It lists prices online, sells BLS and ALS bags, CPR kits and medication modules, and offers free shipping on orders over $175. Some drugs it lists, such as diphenhydramine vials, require a Prescription Drug Authorization Form on file.

Right for: practices that built their own kit and want to restock single items at published prices. Ask: what paperwork it needs for prescription items in your state, and current order delays (its site noted extra processing days when we checked).

10. Bound Tree Medical

Bound Tree Medical, based in Dublin, Ohio, is an EMS distributor that now serves former Emergency Medical Products (EMP) customers. It sells airway and oxygen equipment, AEDs, IV and drug delivery supplies, pharmaceuticals and suction equipment. Its site speaks to EMS agencies, not physician offices.

Right for: practices with an experienced clinical lead who wants EMS-grade airway and oxygen equipment. Ask: whether it opens accounts for med spas and what it needs to sell you prescription items.

Questions to ask any emergency kit or crash cart supplier

1. Who approves the contents? The vendor sells the kit; your medical director decides what is in it, at what doses, and writes the protocol your team follows.
2. How are expiration dates tracked? Ask whether the vendor tracks every drug and device, sends alerts, and ships replacements automatically, and what that costs each year.
3. Can you add aesthetic items? Ask whether the kit or cart can hold hyaluronidase, warm compresses and your other filler complication supplies, or whether you source those separately.
4. What paperwork do prescription items need? Epinephrine and other drugs require a licensed prescriber on the account. Confirm what the vendor needs and who receives the order.
5. What is the full cost? Compare the kit price, annual replenishment, shipping minimums and the cost of an AED plan against buying outright.
6. Who trains the team? A kit only helps if every provider and front desk team member knows where it is and what to do. Ask what training or mock drills the vendor offers.

Where Prospyr fits

An emergency kit is only ready if someone checks it. Prospyr's inventory management can help you track the products you stock, and workflow automation can remind a named team member to run the monthly kit check. Neither replaces your medical director's protocol or the vendor's own tracking. If you are reviewing your practice software too, book a practice demo.

Frequently asked questions

Does a med spa need a crash cart?

Not always. A practice doing injectables and non-sedation treatments often keeps an anaphylaxis kit, oxygen and an AED rather than a full crash cart. Practices offering sedation or surgery usually need a stocked crash cart. Your medical director, your state rules and any accreditation body you work with decide the standard.

Can I buy a ready-made filler complication kit?

We could not verify a US vendor that sells one on its own website as of October 2026. Most practices assemble their own under the medical director's protocol, with hyaluronidase sourced from a pharmacy or distributor. Note that the labeled indication on Hylenex's own site describes it as "an adjuvant to increase the dispersion and absorption of other injected drugs," not as a filler treatment, so the protocol matters. For training on complications, see our list of complication management courses.

How often should we check the emergency kit?

Most practices check it monthly and after every use. Write down who checked it, the date and what was replaced. Vendors with automatic replenishment reduce the work but do not replace the check, because an opened or used item will not show up in their system.

Where should hyaluronidase be stored?

Follow the storage directions on the product label. If the label calls for refrigeration and you keep it with your neurotoxin, use a monitored medical refrigerator. See our guide to medical refrigerators for Botox storage.

Want your company considered?

We review this list quarterly. Companies that sell emergency kits, filler complication supplies, AEDs or crash carts to med spas can send their website and what they offer practices to info@prospyrmed.com. Inclusion is editorial and not paid.
