Product Overview
The MED-TAC Bleeding Control Kit is 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 MED-TAC will not 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 U.S. military and law-enforcement service. 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 wound sites not amenable to tourniquet application.
Alignment with the TCCC MARCH algorithm means the kit addresses 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.
