Medical Kits

We build IFAKs, tactical medical kits, and trauma kits for almost every kind of operator, from the minimally trained outdoorsman to the veteran combat medic or paramedic, and ranging in size from the smallest tactical IFAK to large fully-stocked BLS Trauma Kits; and for a variety of specialties including marine/watercraft safety to agency-specific needs.

It is important that the contents of your IFAK match your level of training and the type of injuries you are most likely to treat, so a careful review of contents lists is a must. Another consideration is the way it is packaged and contained—there is no point in paying for an elaborate thigh-rig if it is going to end up in a pack or vehicle. Check out our extensive I FAK trauma kits , or our EMS and First Responder medical kits to find what suits your needs.

FAQs

Please read our FAQ page to find out more.

What’s the difference between a trauma kit and a first aid kit?

A trauma kit is designed to manage life-threatening injuries such as severe bleeding, compromised airways or gunshot wounds. A basic first aid kit typically addresses minor injuries like cuts, scrapes, burns and splinting needs.

Do these kits meet TCCC or MARCH guidelines?

Yes, most of our kits are built around the MARCH protocol and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) standards, ensuring they include tools prioritized for hemorrhage control, airway management and more.

Can I customize the contents of a medical kit?

Absolutely. Many of our kits are modular and empty packs/ pouches are available, allowing you to add or remove components based on your training, mission or agency requirements. If you would like to build custom kits for your organization or agency, contact us. We’re happy to help with kit design, testing and production to meet your needs.

Are these kits good for civilians or only professionals?

We offer kits for all levels of training. Whether you’re a civilian looking for a vehicle kit, paramedic in need of a full BLS setup, or a prepared Law Enforcement Officer, you’ll find an option that fits your skill level and setting.

How often should I check or replace items in my kit?

We recommend reviewing your kit every 6 months. Items like gloves, medications, or hemostatic agents can degrade over time or become outdated, so regular checks ensure your gear is always ready.
