Blutungskontrollset – Stoppen Sie die Blutung

Is the B-CON Bleeding Control Kit CoTCCC-recommended?

The kit's core components — the C-A-T® Tourniquet and QuikClot® hemostatic dressing — are individually CoTCCC-recommended devices. CoTCCC recommendations attach to specific devices, not to assembled kits, so always verify component designations when fulfilling procurement requirements.

Does using this kit require medical training?

No advanced training is required. The kit is designed for lay bystanders and includes illustrated Just-in-Time instructions. North American Rescue recommends pairing deployment with a Stop the Bleed® course so users can apply the C-A-T and hemostatic dressing correctly under stress.

What is the shelf life and how should the B-CON kit be stored?

The vacuum-sealed pouch protects contents from environmental contamination. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Check component expiration dates annually — the QuikClot dressing and tourniquet are dated items. Replace the entire kit when any component expires.

Can the B-CON kit be purchased on a government contract or NSN?

Yes. North American Rescue products are available through GSA schedules and ECAT procurement channels. Contact NAR directly or MED-TAC International for institutional and agency pricing. Individual component NSNs (C-A-T, QuikClot) are separately established for unit-level resupply.

What dimensions and weight should facilities plan for when staging B-CON kits?

The vacuum-sealed B-CON measures H 7 in. x W 5 in. x D 2.75 in. and weighs 7 oz — roughly the footprint of a large smartphone. This allows placement inside standard AED cabinets, desk drawers, vehicle glove compartments, and MOLLE pouches without dedicated mounting hardware.
