US Customs & Border Protection Casualty Response Kit

US Customs & Border Protection Casualty Response Kit

This compact IFAK was built from specifications provided by Fire Arms and Defensive Tactics Instructors with the US Customs & Border Protection. The Rescue Essentials first aid engineers took a Condor M14 Magazine Pouch, secured a NAR Combat Application Tourniquet® to the outside for rapid access and filled a durable, vacuum sealed pouch with the necessary supplies to treat major trauma.

The SWAT-T® Tourniquet is useful as a pressure bandage and also can be applied higher into the groin and axilla than other tourniquets.  The Hyfin Vent Chest Seal is a sterile occlusive chest wound dressing for treating open pneumothorax and preventing tension pneumothorax that result from gunshots, stab wounds, or other penetrating chest trauma. Vents allow air and blood to escape while preventing the re-entry of either, thereby eliminating any unwanted gas or liquid exchange at the trauma site.  The NAR CAT® Tourniquet is simply the best tourniquet on the market for self-aid, and the Black Talon® Gloves are the gold standard for nitrile gloves.
