PRODUCT INFORMATION

MED-TAC International · Build-Your-Own IFAK

Trauma Essentials Kit

A six-piece IFAK build in a Berry Compliant TacMed™ Operator carrier: packing gauze, a junctional pressure bandage, a vented chest seal, gloves and shears. It is a starting platform, not a finished loadout — no tourniquet and no hemostatic agent are included, deliberately, so the buyer chooses the two components agencies standardize on differently. SKU BNDL-IFAK-002.

6 componentsNo tourniquet — by designNo hemostatic — by designSKU BNDL-IFAK-002

Most entry-level builds put a pressure dressing and a chest seal in a bag and call it done. The gaps show up at the junctional sites, where you cannot wrap a limb because there is no limb to wrap.

Kit Contents

One configuration, six components. The first section is what ships; the second is an honest map of which MARCH phases this build covers and which it does not. Read both before buying. Tap a section.

No component in this kit is a evidence-based standard device. The Sentinel™ is a vented chest seal consistent with evidence-based standard practice for open chest wounds, which is a statement about the intervention, not about the product. Plain gauze packed correctly controls the majority of compressible hemorrhage, but a single deep junctional wound routinely consumes a full pack — one unit per kit is a training assumption, not a field one.

▾Who Carries It

Agencies and units that standardize their own tourniquet and do not want a second, non-standard one arriving inside every kit · Buyers assembling a first IFAK who would rather choose the hemorrhage components deliberately than inherit them · International buyers, since the build was assembled to ship without brand-restricted items · Anyone upgrading an existing kit at the junctional and chest positions, where entry-level builds are usually thinnest.

Operating notes worth carrying over: a tourniquet goes high and tight on the proximal third of the limb, never across a joint. Do not pack open chest wounds — penetrating thoracic trauma gets the seal. Plain-gauze packing needs firm continuous manual pressure, and three minutes is a working floor rather than a stopping point. This kit is a platform and not a substitute for accredited hemorrhage-control training or local medical direction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the Combat Gauze in the Trauma Essentials Kit CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The Combat Gauze included in the Trauma Essentials Kit contains kaolin-impregnated hemostatic gauze, which is CoTCCC-recommended as the primary hemostatic dressing for managing wounds not amenable to tourniquet application in tactical settings. Kaolin accelerates the intrinsic coagulation pathway, producing a stable clot in high-bleeding wounds faster than plain gauze and pressure alone. CoTCCC guidelines specify kaolin-based hemostatic gauze as the first-line hemostatic dressing in TCCC protocols.

What does the OLAES® Bandage do, and how is it different from a standard trauma dressing?

The OLAES® (Modular Bandage) is an integrated trauma bandage developed by Tactical Medical Solutions that combines a pressure dressing, elastic wrap, and occlusive capabilities in a single product. Unlike a standard Israeli-style pressure dressing (which provides pressure application only), the OLAES® includes a built-in occlusive membrane for chest wound coverage, a circumferential elastic wrap for securing the dressing without additional materials, and wound packing gauze stored within the bandage. This makes it one of the most versatile individual trauma dressings available for MARCH-protocol treatment.

Does the Trauma Essentials Kit provide full MARCH protocol coverage?

The Trauma Essentials Kit covers Massive Hemorrhage (Combat Gauze + OLAES® + IFAK tourniquet staging) and Respiration (HyFin® Vent Twin chest seals). The kit addresses Circulation through tourniquet staging in the premium IFAK. Airway management adjuncts (NPA, surgical airway) and hypothermia prevention (emergency blanket) are not included in this specific bundle — adding a nasopharyngeal airway and emergency blanket would complete full MARCH protocol coverage.

Is this kit available through government purchasing programs?

Yes. MED-TAC International is an SDVOSB-certified (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) company, and FAR-compliant government purchasing forms are available for the Trauma Essentials Kit. This makes the kit eligible for direct acquisition by military units, law enforcement agencies, and government medical programs under standard federal procurement guidelines. Contact MED-TAC International directly for government pricing and acquisition support.

What makes the HyFin® Vent Twin chest seals suitable for tactical use?

The HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack from North American Rescue provides two vented chest seals — one for each side of the thorax — in a single compact package. The vented design includes a one-way valve that allows air to exit the pleural space during exhalation while preventing external air entry, converting an open pneumothorax to a closed one and preventing tension pneumothorax development. The twin-pack format ensures bilateral coverage in multi-casualty or multiple-wound scenarios, and is CoTCCC-recommended for penetrating chest wound management in tactical settings.
