Product Overview

The RAP Stop the Bleed Kit distills battlefield hemorrhage control into a minimal-footprint, MOLLE-ready package aligned with the core principles of the national Stop the Bleed® public access campaign: get a tourniquet on arterial extremity bleeds, apply pressure to wounds, and pack and pressure-dress non-tourniquet-amenable injuries. All three kit components directly address these steps.

The centerpiece is the CoTCCC-recommended Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet™ (TMT™) by Safeguard Medical — a 2"-wide windlass tourniquet with co-poly resin acetyl band that accommodates limb circumferences from 5.75" to 38" and includes a quick-detach clip for single-handed application. The TMT's wider 2" band reduces occlusion pain and nerve compression risk relative to 1.5" band tourniquets, and its base plate includes two slots for the TQ-RAM accessory (not included in this kit, but available in the RAP Carrier Kit). The Emergency Bandage provides wound packing material and pressure dressing capability for injuries not amenable to tourniquet application — lacerations, scalp wounds, and torso wounds requiring sustained direct pressure.

The RAP Mollie Tourniquet Carrier stages all three items in a compact, MOLLE-attaching pouch that integrates with plate carriers, aid bags, chest rigs, and law enforcement duty belts. Its quick-access design prioritizes one-handed retrieval speed — critical in the first seconds of a traumatic bleeding emergency. This kit is appropriate for individual operator IFAKs, law enforcement belt kits, EMS jump bags, vehicle first aid setups, and public-access bleeding control stations where a trained or untrained responder may need to act immediately.

How This Kit Addresses the Massive Hemorrhage Step

Under the MARCH (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia) and THREAT (Threat suppression, Hemorrhage control, Rapid Extrication, Assessment, Transport) frameworks that govern TCCC and civilian active shooter response, hemorrhage control is the first priority. The RAP Stop the Bleed Kit directly serves this step: the TMT addresses extremity arterial hemorrhage; the Emergency Bandage addresses wound coverage and pressure for non-tourniquet injuries. Together, they form a minimum viable hemorrhage control capability that requires minimal training for a bystander or first responder to deploy effectively. For more comprehensive hemorrhage control kits including hemostatic agents, see MED-TAC's public access bleeding control kits and IFAK & first aid kits.

Upgrade to the RAP Carrier Kit (TMT + TQ-RAM) for extended capability. Compare with massive hemorrhage control kits and the full tourniquets & pouches collection. For hemostatic gauze and wound packing supplies, see hemostatic agents.
