TacMed Vascular Access Kit
What is the TacMed Vascular Access Kit? An IV access and administration kit (SKU MEDTAC0388) providing components to gain peripheral vascular access and administer IV fluids.
The TacMed™ Vascular Access Kit goes a step beyond the Saline Lock Kit by including an IV administration set.
When to Choose This Vascular Access Kit
- Tactical Field Care IV fluid resuscitation — Includes 15 drip/mL admin set for connecting NS, LR, or Hextend once hemorrhage is controlled; appropriate for TFC phase when IV fluid administration is indicated.
- Combat medic supplemental carry — At 2 oz, fits in any dedicated IV compartment alongside a fluid bag; lighter than comparable IV kits that include the fluid.
- EMS and paramedic field kits — Complete peripheral access system in a sealed package; maintains sterility during extended field carry better than loose components.
- Training and simulation supply — Pre-packaged format supports skills labs and IV access simulation training at scale.
