TacMed™ Field Blood Transfusion Kit
Compact, self-contained whole-blood collection and transfusion system for the walking-blood-bank model in austere care.
What is the TacMed™ Field Blood Transfusion Kit? A compact, self-contained whole-blood collection and transfusion system (FBTK) for special-operations medics and austere-environment care providers. Available in vacuum-sealed pouches or MOLLE-compatible color options (Coyote Tan, Multicam, Ranger Green, Black), it includes Donor and Recipient modules to support a complete walking-blood-bank transfusion without returning to a higher echelon for supplies.
Field whole-blood collection and transfusion is an advanced procedure performed by clinicians trained and credentialed within their scope of practice, under unit protocols. This page describes the kit and its modules — it is not a procedural how-to, and it is not a substitute for accredited clinical training. Donor screening, typing, compatibility, and administration are determined by the treating provider.

Product Overview
The TacMed™ Field Blood Transfusion Kit was developed at the direct request of Special Operations Forces medics who needed a compact, tactically deployable solution for whole-blood transfusion in austere environments. Unlike hospital-based transfusion protocols requiring refrigeration, cross-match labs, and banked inventory, the FBTK supports a walking-blood-bank approach: a screened, voluntarily donating unit member provides fresh whole blood to a critically bleeding casualty in the field.
The Donor and Recipient module architecture separates the collection and administration supply sets into distinct, systematically organized groups. That reduces confusion during high-stress casualty care and lets one provider work the donor side while a second manages recipient access — or a single medic complete both tasks sequentially without rummaging through an unsorted supply collection. Each module includes blood-type screening via the Eldon card system for rapid ABO/Rh compatibility verification before transfusion.
Available in a lightweight vacuum-sealed resealable bag or durable MOLLE-compatible pouches in four colors (Coyote Tan, Multicam, Ranger Green, Black), the FBTK integrates with existing MOLLE-equipped medical kits and plate carriers. The 6.5 in × 5 in footprint fits standard MOLLE medical pouches for seamless integration into a tactical medical loadout.
