A heavy-duty, full-body emergency shelter and casualty-warming system in a cargo-pocket package.
What is the TacMed Emergency Bivvy? A heavy-duty, full-body emergency shelter and patient-warming system from Tactical Medical Solutions. The exterior is coyote brown for concealment; the interior carries a heat-reflective thermally efficient coating. Velcro closures provide head-to-toe heat retention, and it deploys in seconds for hypothermia prevention or emergency patient warming. Folded pack size 5.5 × 2.5 in; open 48 × 84 in. SKU MEDTAC0026.

Why It Matters
Hypothermia is part of the lethal triad in trauma, alongside coagulopathy and acidosis — a cycle where each element worsens the others. In the field, heat loss from a trauma casualty occurs through conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation, with all four mechanisms potentially active at once in austere environments. The Emergency Bivvy provides full-body coverage that addresses all four pathways: the heat-reflective interior reflects radiant heat back to the patient, the heavy-duty outer shell blocks convective wind loss, and the head-to-toe Velcro closure minimizes conductive and evaporative loss.
The coyote brown exterior supports operational concealment in tactical environments — a feature absent from standard orange or silver mylar blankets that can compromise position awareness. Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Bivvy folds to just 5.5 × 2.5 inches — small enough for a cargo pocket or patrol bag — and deploys in seconds by unfolding and inserting the casualty, practical even in confined spaces.
Unlike disposable foil blankets or thin mylar wraps, the Emergency Bivvy is built from a durable material rated for rough handling in mission environments, resisting the tearing and delamination that would compromise thermal performance. It can also serve as a litter pad for short-distance patient movement, providing thermal protection and transport simultaneously.
