Does the MED-TAC Trauma & Bleeding Stocked Kit include CoTCCC-recommended supplies?
Yes. The kit includes three CoTCCC-recommended components: the NAR C-A-T Gen 7 tourniquet (the most deployed tourniquet in U.S. military history and CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control), QuikClot Combat Gauze Z-Folded (CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic gauze for wound packing), and the NAR Hyfin Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack Compact (CoTCCC-recommended vented chest seal for penetrating chest wounds). It also includes an NPA 28Fr for CoTCCC-recommended airway management.
What is the weight of the MED-TAC Trauma & Bleeding Stocked Kit?
The kit weighs 1 lb (454 g) when assembled. This lightweight form factor makes it practical to carry in a patrol vehicle, a concealed carry IFAK, a plate carrier, a range bag, or a workplace emergency kit. Despite its light weight, it covers all four primary CoTCCC intervention priorities: hemorrhage control (tourniquet + hemostatic gauze), airway management (NPA), chest wounds (vented chest seals), and hypothermia prevention (emergency blanket).
Who is the MED-TAC Trauma & Bleeding Stocked Kit designed for?
The kit is designed primarily for law enforcement officers, public safety professionals (security, fire, EMS supervisors), and prepared civilians who want a compact, CoTCCC-grade hemorrhage control and trauma kit. The contents align with TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) and Stop the Bleed protocols, making it equally relevant for civilian responders as for tactical operators.
Is the NAR C-A-T Gen 7 tourniquet in this kit authentic?
Yes. MED-TAC International is an authorized distributor of North American Rescue (NAR) products and sources all NAR products — including the C-A-T Gen 7 — directly from NAR or their authorized distributors. Counterfeit tourniquets are a known market problem; purchasing through MED-TAC ensures you receive a genuine NAR C-A-T Gen 7 with the quality and performance validated in clinical and operational settings.
Can I add this kit to an existing bag or pouch?
Yes. The MED-TAC Trauma & Bleeding Stocked Kit is a fill kit — the supplies are ready to be organized into your existing IFAK pouch, medical bag, or personal carry system. At 454 g, it fits comfortably in most standard IFAK pouches, plate carrier admin pouches, and vehicle medical bags. For a complete carried solution, pair with any of MED-TAC's IFAK pouches from our IFAK pouches collection.
