MED-TAC International Corp. was founded by Dr. Marco Torres, MD EMT-P — a clinician with training in both medicine and tactical emergency care. Our doctrine, The First Five Minutes, was built around the same principle behind the Hartford Consensus: the window between injury and definitive care is where lives are saved or lost. We build the kits and frameworks that close that window.
Officers are being asked to perform hemorrhage control in active threat scenarios. That requires a kit they can actually deploy under stress, training they can execute under stress, and a doctrine that's been validated. This guide covers all three.
