TacMed™ Medizinisches Set für Fallbeine

How does the TacMed Convertible Drop Leg Kit convert between carry modes?

The Convertible Drop Leg Kit uses a single pouch design that includes both drop-leg mounting hardware (leg strap attachment points) and MOLLE-compatible webbing on the rear panel. To switch between modes, the operator simply removes the leg straps and attaches the MOLLE panel to a vest or plate carrier, or vice versa. The kit contents do not need to be removed during conversion.

What is the OLAES® Modular Bandage and why is it included?

The OLAES® (Operational Local Anesthetic Elastic Splint) Modular Bandage by TacMed Solutions is a multi-function dressing that combines elastic pressure wrap, wound closure disc, and occlusive insert in a single compact package. It can be used as a pressure bandage, an improvised tourniquet, or an occlusive dressing for chest wounds. The inclusion of both 4-inch and 6-inch OLAES® bandages gives the medic/operator coverage for different wound sizes.

Is the Advanced version of the TacMed Drop Leg Kit available without a medical authorization?

The Advanced version includes a TPAK (14-gauge × 3.25-inch angiocath for needle chest decompression), which is a medical device restricted by U.S. federal law to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner. Purchase of the Advanced version requires authorization from a licensed medical professional. The Basic version has no such restriction and is available for qualified purchasers.

What tourniquet is included in the TacMed Drop Leg Kit?

The TacMed™ Convertible Drop Leg Kit includes the SOF® Tactical Tourniquet (SOF-T® or SOF-T Wide®), manufactured by Tactical Medical Solutions. The SOF-T Wide is a CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet that uses a windlass mechanism, similar to the C-A-T®, and has been validated in military and law enforcement use. TacMed Solutions is the manufacturer of the SOF-T family of tourniquets.

Does the TacMed Drop Leg Kit address the MARCH protocol?

The Basic configuration addresses Massive Hemorrhage (SOF® tourniquet, OLAES® bandages, Blast® bandage, compressed gauze), Airway (NPA with lubricant), Respiration (petrolatum gauze for basic chest wound coverage; no chest seal included), and Circulation (multiple pressure dressings). The Advanced version adds needle decompression for Respiration. A purpose-made vented chest seal (not included) would be recommended for full Respiration coverage.
