PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Lay-Responder Bleeding Control

Individual Aid Kit

A compact, vacuum-sealed bleeding-control kit built for the non-medically-trained caregiver. At H 5.75 × W 3.5 × D 2″ and 6.6 oz, its simple five-item loadout — compressed gauze, a Flat ETD™, petrolatum gauze, tape, and gloves — is chosen for ease of use by a bystander in a bleeding emergency. Single SKU, single configuration.

Lay-Responder FriendlyVacuum-Sealed6.6 ozPocket Footprint

Not every responder is trained, and not every emergency is an arterial limb bleed. Schools, workplaces, and community spaces need a kit a bystander can open and use under stress — without a tourniquet they may not know how to apply.

What does a layperson reach for when someone is bleeding?

The Individual Aid Kit answers that with a deliberately simple, minimal-training loadout suited to schools, workplaces, community centers, and individuals without formal trauma training. Five items cover the most likely lay-responder scenario: compressed gauze for wound packing, a Flat ETD™ for pressure, petrolatum gauze that doubles as an improvised occlusive cover for a penetrating wound, surgical tape, and nitrile gloves. The contents are vacuum-sealed — protecting them from moisture and contamination while letting a manager confirm the inventory visually, without opening the kit, during routine inspection of staged units. The compact footprint (5.75 × 3.5 × 2″, 6.6 oz) drops into a briefcase, backpack, glove box, or classroom emergency cabinet.

Build It Out

For limb-threatening arterial hemorrhage a tourniquet is essential. This kit is best deployed where a tourniquet is staged separately, or alongside a tourniquet-equipped kit. Step up when you need that capability:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the NAR Individual Aid Kit appropriate for untrained bystanders?

Yes. The Individual Aid Kit is specifically designed for non-medically trained caregivers. Its contents — compressed gauze, flat ETD™, petrolatum gauze, tape, and gloves — require minimal training to use effectively for basic wound coverage and pressure application. North American Rescue and MED-TAC recommend pairing this kit with Stop the Bleed training for maximum effectiveness.

Does the Individual Aid Kit include a tourniquet?

No. The Individual Aid Kit does not include a tourniquet. It is designed for wound coverage and basic bleeding control using pressure dressings and gauze. For life-threatening extremity hemorrhage (arterial bleeding), a tourniquet is required. If tourniquet capability is needed, consider the NAR Individual Patrol Officer Kit (IPOK), EDC Wallet Kit, or a full IFAK.

What is petrolatum gauze and when is it used?

Petrolatum gauze is gauze impregnated with petroleum jelly (petrolatum). It creates a non-adherent, moisture-retentive dressing that can serve as an improvised occlusive covering for penetrating wounds, including chest wounds where a proper chest seal is not available. It is not a substitute for a purpose-made vented chest seal but provides basic wound coverage for abdominal, thoracic, or penetrating extremity wounds in a minimal kit.

Is the Individual Aid Kit vacuum-sealed?

Yes. The Individual Aid Kit is vacuum-sealed in a clear package that protects contents from moisture, debris, and contamination. The clear packaging allows visual confirmation of kit contents without opening it — useful for regular inspection without consuming the kit. Opening the seal deploys the kit for use.

Where is the Individual Aid Kit best deployed?

The NAR Individual Aid Kit is best suited for public access locations: schools, office buildings, community centers, churches, sporting events, and vehicles. It provides basic bleeding control capability for first responders (bystanders) until trained EMS arrives. For higher-risk environments or tactical applications, a tourniquet-equipped kit is strongly recommended.
