Product Overview
The Belt Trauma Kit was engineered around a single insight: the best trauma kit is the one you have with you when you need it. By mounting directly to a standard duty belt, the BTK ensures that hemorrhage control supplies — not stowed in a bag or vehicle — are immediately reachable during an officer-down scenario, range emergency, or mass-casualty event. NAR designed the rugged black pouch to rotate 90° so it sits flush against the body without interfering with a holster, magazine pouches, or radio clips.
The Basic kit's Combat Gauze® LE Hemostatic Dressing is CoTCCC-recommended kaolin-impregnated gauze that is the most widely studied hemostatic agent in military and law enforcement use. The HyFin® Compact Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack addresses penetrating thoracic trauma — one for entry, one for exit — and its low-profile vacuum-sealed packaging resists dirt, moisture, and rough handling. The 4-inch Mini Emergency Trauma Dressing provides a pressure bandage option for extremity wounds where a tourniquet is not indicated.
The Complete BTK adds NAR's C-A-T® Gen 7 tourniquet and its dedicated holder, creating a fully self-contained hemorrhage control platform on the belt. For operators who already carry a tourniquet separately, the Basic kit fills the gap with chest seal and hemostatic gauze capability without redundancy. Both versions are compact enough to wear all shift without fatigue. Browse the full IFAK Kits collection or add a standalone C-A-T® Gen 7 tourniquet if equipping for multiple personnel.
