Product Overview

The MED-TAC Bleeding Control Kit is designed for individuals who understand that hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from traumatic injury and want a professionally curated, protocol-aligned kit for immediate response. Unlike generic first aid kits that omit or substitute critical components, the MTI-BCK is built around the two items that MED-TAC will never compromise on: the genuine North American Rescue Gen 7 C-A-T® tourniquet and the Safeguard Medical Emergency Trauma Bandage.

The CAT Gen 7 is the CoTCCC-recommended windlass tourniquet and the most widely fielded tactical tourniquet in the U.S. military and law enforcement. Its single-routing buckle, self-adhering band, and time-stamp window enable fast, reliable one-handed self-application under stress. The Safeguard Medical ETB provides the pressure dressing capability — an integrated pressure bar and elastic retention wrap for single-handed, consistent compression on any wound site not amenable to tourniquet application.

The kit's alignment with the TCCC MARCH algorithm ensures it addresses the full preventable-death triad: massive hemorrhage (CAT + ETB + gauze), and hypothermia prevention (thermal blanket). Trauma shears enable rapid exposure of injuries, and the permanent marker documents tourniquet application time directly on the patient — a critical data point for receiving medical personnel. At 1.0 lb, the kit is compact enough for vehicle kits, backpacks, range bags, and workplace emergency supplies.
