Public access and individual bleeding control kits based on the Stop the Bleed campaign by the American College of Surgeons. Shop by deployment type -- each tile filters the grid below.
Public-access bleeding control kits. Essential equipment for bystander response to traumatic bleeding emergencies. Evidence-based bleeding control standards.
A national awareness campaign launched by the American College of Surgeons and the White House in 2015. The goal: train bystanders to control life-threatening bleeding before professional help arrives. Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after trauma.
Call 9-1-1 immediately. Tell the dispatcher the location, number of injured, and nature of the bleeding. Bystander intervention starts while you wait for EMS.
Look for life-threatening bleeding. Check the extremities, torso, and junctional areas (groin, armpit, neck). Remove or cut clothing to find the source.
Apply direct pressure with hands, then pack with gauze and maintain pressure. If bleeding is on a limb and uncontrolled, apply a tourniquet high and tight.
Basic kits include tourniquet, gauze, and pressure dressing -- the minimum to stop life-threatening limb bleeding. Intermediate adds chest seals and hemostatic agents. Advanced includes airway management and decompression capabilities. Public access stations contain multiple individually-sealed kits in a wall-mounted cabinet for rapid deployment across large facilities.
Schools, workplaces, churches, airports, and public venues are increasingly required to maintain bleeding control stations alongside AEDs. MED-TAC provides compliance-ready packages with cabinet hardware, signage, and training support. Individual kits are essential for first responders, security personnel, and prepared civilians.

Each component is selected based on published clinical studies, field performance data, and professional user feedback -- not manufacturer marketing. We evaluate the entire equipment ecosystem, including the 90% of effective gear often missed by limited single-vendor review scopes.
Single vendors excel in one category but underperform in others. We select the best tourniquet from one brand, the superior hemostatic from another, the top chest seal from a third -- optimizing kit performance over vendor politics. Result: 13% higher effectiveness vs. single-vendor averages.
Components selected on proven clinical function, evidence-based standards, and the MARCH framework. Government procurement documentation, competitive bidding support, and agency purchasing compatibility available. Component traceability and assembly quality control on every kit.
