How many casualties can the MCI-WALK® treat?
The MCI-WALK® is equipped to provide initial trauma treatment for up to 8 simultaneous casualties. It includes 8 C-A-T® Tourniquets, 8 HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Packs, 8 Compressed Gauze rolls, 8 ETD Emergency Trauma Dressings, 5 Combat Gauze® hemostatic dressings, and 8 sets of gloves — plus 20 triage cards for casualty documentation.
What is the difference between the QuikLitter and Rigid MedEVAC Litter configurations?
The 8-QuikLitter configuration includes eight individual collapsible litters, one per casualty, enabling distributed simultaneous evacuation by multiple personnel or bystanders. The Rigid MedEVAC Litter configuration includes one full-size, quad-fold litter better suited for longer extractions or rough terrain where structural rigidity matters. Select based on your expected evacuation distance and team size.
Is the MCI-WALK® appropriate for law enforcement Rescue Task Force teams?
Yes. The MCI-WALK® is explicitly designed for RTF-style deployment where teams of two operators may need to treat 4–8 casualties in a warm zone before EMS has access. Its 8-casualty capacity, compact backpack form factor, and CoTCCC-recommended contents align with Hartford Consensus and TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) response doctrine.
Are the tourniquets in the MCI-WALK® CoTCCC-recommended?
Yes. The MCI-WALK® includes 8 C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®) in Black — a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet and the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army. The Combat Gauze® LE hemostatic dressings are also CoTCCC-recommended for wound packing of junctional and extremity hemorrhage.
How is the MCI-WALK® carried and stored?
The MCI-WALK® is packaged in a rugged, configurable nylon backpack that can be worn during scene response or stored in a vehicle trunk. The bag features a large main compartment with organized medical storage and a separate litter compartment. Black and Red color options accommodate tactical low-visibility or high-visibility identification requirements.
Does the MCI-WALK contain CoTCCC-recommended items?
Yes. The kit includes C-A-T® Combat Application Tourniquets and HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Packs, which are CoTCCC-recommended items for hemorrhage control and tension pneumothorax management.
What training is required to use the MCI-WALK?
All personnel who may deploy the MCI-WALK should complete at minimum a Stop the Bleed course covering tourniquet application, wound packing, and pressure dressings. Full RTF or TCCC-level training is recommended for the treating provider role. Contact NAR or your jurisdiction's training office for course options.
How does the QuikLitter configuration differ from the rigid MedEVAC?
The 8-QuikLitter build distributes one disposable litter with each treatment set so multiple two-person carry teams can move patients simultaneously. The 1-rigid MedEVAC litter build is for longer-distance extraction over irregular terrain where a rigid platform provides better patient protection.
Can the MCI-WALK be procured on a government contract?
North American Rescue products including the MCI-WALK are available through GSA and DLA/DIBBS contracts. Contact NAR directly or your authorized distributor for current NSN and contract vehicle information.
How many casualties can the MCI-WALK treat simultaneously?
The MCI-WALK is configured to treat up to 8 trauma casualties simultaneously — 8 C-A-T® tourniquets, 8 HyFin® Vent chest seal twin packs, 8 ETDs, 8 compressed gauze dressings, and 8 pairs of gloves, plus 5 hemostatic dressings and 5 NPAs for airway management.
