What is the MED-TAC Fill Kit ALPHA designed for?
The ALPHA kit is designed as a basic first aid refill or standalone supply kit for BLS-level care environments. It covers wound care, bandaging, minor burns, sprains and strains, eye irrigation, diabetic emergencies (oral glucose gel), insect stings, and minor soft tissue injuries. It is the entry level in MED-TAC's five-tier fill kit series and is appropriate for vehicle first aid kits, office first aid stations, school kits, and basic preparedness applications.
Who assembles the MED-TAC fill kits?
All MED-TAC Medical Fill Kits are assembled in-house at MED-TAC International's facility in Pembroke Pines, FL, by staff that includes current and former first responders. This hands-on assembly by people with field medical experience — rather than automated warehouse fulfillment — ensures practical supply selection and quality control. MED-TAC also offers custom kit assembly if the standard kits don't meet specific requirements.
What bags is the ALPHA kit compatible with?
The ALPHA fill kit is designed to fill any MED-TAC bag system, including the LXMB45 First Response Backpack and the Modular ALS Bag, as well as any third-party first aid bag of appropriate size. It is sold as a standalone kit and can be used to restock existing first aid kits that have been depleted or to start a new kit from scratch.
Does the ALPHA kit include a tourniquet?
No. The ALPHA kit does not include a tourniquet — it is a basic first aid kit designed for BLS-level care and common workplace injuries. For trauma-level hemorrhage control capability, the CHARLIE, DELTA, or FOXTROT kits in the MED-TAC series include a CAT tourniquet and hemostatic agents. Alternatively, a C-A-T® Tourniquet can be added to any kit from MED-TAC's hemorrhage control collection.
Can I customize the contents of the ALPHA fill kit?
Yes. MED-TAC International offers custom kit assembly for buyers who need a loadout that differs from the standard ALPHA kit. Their staff, which includes current and former first responders, will work with buyers to substitute, add, or remove items to meet specific clinical, regulatory, or operational requirements. Contact MED-TAC directly to discuss a custom fill kit build.
