TacMed Solutions Bleeding Control Kit
What is the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit? A compact, red-bag hemorrhage-control kit for anyone who may encounter a life-threatening traumatic injury.
What It Is
The TacMed™ Bleeding Control Kit is a purpose-built response to the growing public-access bleeding-control movement.
When to Choose This Bleeding Control Kit
- Workplace first aid stations — Red bag provides instant visual identification alongside standard green first aid kits; the SOF® tourniquet, packing gauze, the Esmark and the Control Wrap cover the first minutes of a severe bleed — a limb tourniquet, wound packing and a wrap to hold pressure.
- Law enforcement patrol / vehicle kits — Choosing the Combat Gauze® option adds a evidence-based standard hemostatic gauze for officers who may encounter gunshot wounds in the warm zone.
- Community bleeding-control programs — Lower cost point than advanced tactical kits while still including a TacMed SOF® tourniquet; suitable for widespread community distribution.
- Public-access installation in schools and venues — Combine with the ETS Throw Kit for layered public-access hemorrhage control: red bag signals the location, laminated throw-kit instructions guide the user.
How the TacMed BCK Compares
| Kit | Notes |
|---|---|
| TacMed Bleeding Control Kit | SOF-T tourniquet + Combat Gauze® / ChitoGauze® / Compressed Gauze + Esmark + 4" Control Wrap + gloves + shears. Red nylon bag. Strong value for community and workplace programs. |
| NAR Public Access Bleeding Control Kit | CAT tourniquet + QuikClot Combat Gauze + Emergency Trauma Dressing. Higher cost, CAT preferred by many agencies. No pre-selected gauze option like TacMed's three-tier selection. |
| Basic Bleeding Control Kit | Varies by vendor. Most basic configurations contain a basic tourniquet, gauze, and gloves with no hemostatic agent. Lower cost but less capability than either TacMed or NAR kits. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit suitable for school resource officers?
A: Yes. With the Combat Gauze® option it carries a limb tourniquet, a evidence-based standard hemostatic gauze for packing, and an elastic wrap to hold pressure — the tools a school resource officer needs first at a school shooting. The red bag makes it easy for arriving EMS and fire to find.
Q: What is the Esmark Bandage and how is it different from an Israeli bandage?
A: The TacMed™ Esmark is a latex-free elastic bandage, 4 in. × 4 ft, with no wound pad. It holds pressure over gauze or packing and secures dressings. TacMed states it is not a tourniquet and should not be used as one. The Israeli bandage (The Emergency Bandage®) is a sterile wound pad sewn to an elastic bandage, with a pressure bar and a closure bar, so the dressing and the wrap go on as one piece. Neither replaces a tourniquet for life-threatening limb bleeding.
Q: Does the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit expire?
A: The gauze and other sterile components carry expiration dates on their packaging. For institutional staging, implement a quarterly inspection rotation to check component dates, and replace expired items with individual components available from MED-TAC.
Q: Can I add more items to the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit?
A: The red nylon bag has limited room but can accommodate small additions like a chest seal or additional gauze. For a more comprehensive bleeding-control loadout, consider pairing the BCK with a dedicated medical pouch from TacMed's IFAK Pouches collection.
