Water ruins a standard trauma kit. Cardboard-boxed supplies turn to pulp, adhesive backings fail, and nylon pouches wick moisture into everything inside. For boaters, surf and swift-water rescue, flood response, and any operation where gear gets wet, the kit itself has to be waterproof. The NAR Maritime Watertight Trauma & First Aid Kit (TFAK-W) packs a full trauma and first-aid capability into a custom drybag that keeps the contents dry through immersion, rain, and spray.
When the boat takes a wave and your kit goes under, will the gauze inside still be sterile and dry?
Six removable labeled mesh treatment pouches — Bleed, Airway, Wound Care, Misc. Meds, Splinting, and Lid — organize supplies by treatment category for fast identification under stress. The trauma core is a C-A-T tourniquet, HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal, wound packing gauze, and an ETD, backed by a full general first-aid complement for burns, eyes, splinting, and minor wound care. Belt, shoulder, and waist strap compatibility keeps it hands-free during active water operations.
Why This Kit
A custom drybag container keeps all contents dry through immersion, rain, and spray — where standard kits fail the moment they get wet.
Removable mesh pouches sorted by treatment category — Bleed, Airway, Wound Care, Meds, Splinting, Lid — for fast retrieval and easy restock.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet, HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal, and ETD — serious trauma capability, not just a marine first-aid box.
Belt, shoulder, and waist strap compatible — stays on the body and out of the way during active water operations.
