Most people who carry a vehicle trauma kit carry it in the wrong place. A kit in the trunk is useless to a driver pinned behind the wheel. A kit in the center console means leaning, twisting, and digging at the exact moment seconds matter. The NAR Vehicle Door Panel First Aid Kit solves the staging problem by living where the driver’s hand already falls — integrated into the door panel, low-profile, invisible until deployed.
If you took a round, a frag, or a windshield laceration right now — could you reach your bleeding-control gear without unbuckling?
This kit answers the four leading causes of preventable prehospital death — massive hemorrhage, tension pneumothorax, and the bleeding that kills before EMS arrives — from a slim envelope that occupies zero seat, console, or trunk space. It stays installed and out of the way until the instant it is needed for self-aid, buddy aid, or care of a civilian casualty at the vehicle.
Why This Kit
Mounts inside the vehicle door panel so the kit is reachable from the seated, belted driving position — the single most common point of injury and the worst place to be searching a trunk.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet, Emergency Trauma Dressing, and HyFin Compact Chest Seal — the same hemorrhage and chest-trauma tools carried at the point of injury downrange.
The w/Bleeding Control Dressing variant swaps in NAR’s hemostatic Bleeding Control Dressing for heavier junctional and deep-wound hemorrhage where plain gauze runs short.
Equally at home in a patrol cruiser, fire apparatus, EMS unit, military vehicle, or a personal vehicle — one staging discipline across the whole fleet.

Who Fields It
Cruiser door staging puts bleeding control within reach for self-aid after a vehicle ambush or a roadside contact gone bad.
A clean, fixed location for crew bleeding-control gear that does not migrate around the cab between calls.
Highway crashes, roadside violence, and motorcycle-down calls all happen at the door. Stage the kit where the injury happens.
Build It Out
The door-panel kit is per-seat bleeding control. Round out the vehicle with higher-capacity platforms and a fleet-wide tourniquet standard.
Higher-capacity cab trauma platform for multi-casualty and extended care.
Dual-tourniquet headrest-mount kit for rear-seat and passenger coverage.
Standardize one CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet across every vehicle and IFAK.
The Kit, Up Close
Door-panel mounting keeps a CoTCCC-recommended trauma load at the driver’s hand — not in the trunk, not in the console.
