What It Is

Mass-casualty incidents — active-shooter events, explosions, vehicle attacks — create a critical window in which bystanders are often the only people on scene capable of acting. The Throw Kit was engineered around this reality: a hemorrhage-control kit compact enough to be thrown to a victim or untrained responder, with laminated illustrated instructions that guide someone with no medical training through applying a tourniquet and pressure bandage correctly.

The tourniquet is the CoTCCC-recommended SOFTT-W-R in Rescue Orange — a high-visibility color chosen to help untrained responders identify the correct device under stress. The OLAES® Modular Bandage provides a multi-function pressure dressing for wounds not amenable to tourniquet use. A petrolatum gauze — or chest seal in the “Throw Kit w/Chest Seal” variant — addresses penetrating thoracic wounds. An emergency blanket reduces hypothermia risk while help is en route, and a brightly colored 1 × 1 foot casualty marking card alerts additional responders to the location of a downed casualty.

The laminated instructional card is the kit's defining feature for public-access deployment. Unlike clinical instruction sheets, it uses brightly colored, high-resolution illustrated steps designed for stress-impaired cognitive function — the same design philosophy used in accredited bleeding-control curricula. Packaging in a heavy-weight resealable bag supports training reuse, quality inspection, and long shelf-life staging in Emergency Trauma Stations, classrooms, vehicles, and public venues.

Deployment Applications

• Emergency Trauma Stations (ETS) — staged alongside AEDs in schools, offices, and public venues for bystander activation.
• Active-shooter / hostile-event response — throw-to-victim capability when direct access is unsafe.
• Law enforcement patrol — staged in vehicle trunks for rapid deployment to civilians at the point of wounding.
• Mass-casualty pre-positioning — cache multiple kits in a resupply bag for rapid distribution at MCIs.
• Training programs — the resealable bag supports repeated classroom or tabletop use without replacing the kit.
