Uncontrolled major hemorrhage can kill in minutes — often faster than EMS can arrive. The NAR RED (Ready Every Day) Personal Aid Kit puts the tools and the instructions to intervene into a 1.2 lb case small enough to carry everywhere. Built by the manufacturer of the C-A-T tourniquet used by militaries and law enforcement worldwide, the RED line is engineered specifically for the general public.
If a major bleed happened in front of you right now, is the tourniquet in your bag — or back home in a drawer?
At the core sits the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet, a Responder Compressed Gauze for wound packing, a 4 in. ETD trauma dressing for pressure wound care, and petrolatum gauze — the bleeding-control priorities behind the majority of preventable pre-hospital trauma deaths. A Bleeding Control instruction card guides correct application in the moment. Around that, a full everyday suite: burn gel, wound care, a targeted OTC medication set, a CPR mask, and an emergency survival blanket for thermal management. Light enough to live in a backpack, glove box, or desk drawer.
Why This Kit
At 1.2 lb it fits a backpack, glove box, or desk drawer — the trauma kit you actually have on you when it matters.
The same windlass tourniquet proven in the field and standard in civilian bleeding-control programs nationwide.
Bleeding control plus burn gel, wound care, OTC meds, CPR mask, and a survival blanket — one kit for the whole range of needs.
A Bleeding Control instruction card walks an untrained user through correct tourniquet application under stress.
