Responder MED-Tasche

What is the capacity of the 5.11 Tactical Responder MED Pouch?

The Responder MED Pouch has a total capacity of 3.7 liters (226 cubic inches), housed in a 7.75" L × 6.5" W × 4.5" D form factor. Despite its compact size, the interior is organized with elastic bands and a slip pocket to efficiently stage first-aid supplies, medications, or assessment tools. It weighs only 0.31 kg empty, making it a lightweight addition to any responder kit.

Does the 5.11 Responder MED Pouch fit inside the Responder 48 backpack?

Yes. The Responder MED Pouch is purpose-designed as a modular companion to the Responder 48 EMS Backpack and the broader 5.11 Responder collection. Its 7.75" × 6.5" × 4.5" dimensions fit comfortably in the external pockets of the Responder 48, creating a tiered organizational system where high-priority supplies occupy the MED Pouch for immediate access while bulk kit remains organized in the main 35L compartment.

What does the interior of the Responder MED Pouch look like?

The interior features a high-contrast light-colored lining for improved visibility in low-light conditions, elastic bands for securing individual items in fixed positions, and an internal slip pocket for flat storage. The closed-cell foam construction protects fragile contents from impact. The full 180° clamshell opening exposes the entire interior at once, so nothing needs to be removed to access contents deep in the pouch.

Can the 5.11 Responder MED Pouch be labeled or identified easily?

Yes. The pouch features a 6" × 1" loop section that accepts standard hook-and-loop name tapes for crew identification, patient type labeling, or drug/supply categorization. Top and front grab handles allow rapid retrieval from inside a larger bag or from a staging area. This labeling feature is especially useful in multi-crew responses or mass casualty incidents where multiple identical pouches may be in use simultaneously.

How do you clean the 5.11 Responder MED Pouch after patient contact?

The Responder MED Pouch features a full wipe-down-friendly 900D TPU-coated polyester exterior that can be cleaned with standard disinfecting wipes. No submersion or special cleaning protocols are required for the exterior surface. The closed-cell foam interior resists fluid absorption, and the light-colored lining makes contamination easy to spot and target during decontamination.
