Product Overview

Standard soft-pouch IFAKs are vulnerable to crush damage in patrol vehicle trunks, motorcycle saddlebags, and compartmentalized gear storage. The Eleven 10 RIGID R-FAK addresses this with a Pelican 1170 Protector Case foundation — the same crushproof, waterproof platform trusted for camera equipment, firearms components, and other mission-critical gear. This means your trauma kit contents remain protected and functional even after being pinned under vehicle debris, submerged in water crossings, or compressed in a crowded gear bag. The Pelican lifetime warranty covers the case housing, providing long-term confidence in kit integrity.

Eleven 10 engineered the interior with the RIGID R-FAK's Infinite Organization Panel in the internal zippered med pouch — a hook-and-loop interior that allows responders to customize component placement to their specific workflow. The lid organizer features dedicated slots for exam gloves and trauma shears, so protective equipment is always within immediate reach when opening the kit. A tourniquet tether keeps the two included CAT tourniquets secured until deployment, preventing accidental separation during transport or rapid extraction from pouches.

The three hemostatic gauze variants — Compressed Gauze, Combat Gauze (QuikClot LE), and ChitoGauze — each represent distinct approaches to hemorrhage control, allowing responders and agencies to select the product aligned with their protocols and training. Combat Gauze with kaolin is CoTCCC-recommended for use as the primary hemostatic dressing in tactical environments. The kit also includes bilateral chest seal management via the NAR Hyfin Compact Vent Twin Pack, making the RIGID R-FAK a comprehensive solution for the most common life-threatening injuries in the pre-hospital environment: massive hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax.
