PRODUCT INFORMATION

NAR IFAK · Lumbar / Low-Back Carry

Lumbar First Aid Kit — L-FAK

A compact, waist-mounted IFAK for operators who carry at the lumbar position — pull-tab one-handed access, MOLLE exterior, and a wound-and-airway load that pairs with a dedicated tourniquet.

0.88 lb · low-back Pull-tab access 3 configs · 3 colors USA-made

Belt-front and vest carry aren’t the only way to stage an IFAK. For vehicle crews, operators in seated work positions, and anyone who wants the small of the back free for a trauma kit, the lumbar position is real estate that’s otherwise wasted. The NAR Lumbar First Aid Kit (L-FAK) is a purpose-built, low-back IFAK: a 420-denier inner carrier that pulls open one-handed, inside a 500-denier MOLLE exterior that mounts to a rig, hip belt, or standalone lumbar platform.

Your tourniquet belongs somewhere fast. Why bury it in the same pouch as your gauze and seals?

NAR builds the L-FAK without a tourniquet on purpose. The design philosophy keeps the limb tourniquet in a faster, dedicated position — a separate C-A-T and holder — while the L-FAK carries the bulk of wound management and chest-seal supplies at the lumbar. The inner carrier’s single pull-tab opens the whole kit one-handed; the clear loadout means a partner can work your kit as fast as you can. Tourniquet sold separately.

Why This Kit

Lumbar Carry, Free Belt

Mounts at the small of the back, off the duty belt and chest — trauma supplies on the body without competing with holsters, mags, and primary gear.

One-Handed Pull-Tab

The 420D inner carrier deploys with a single pull-tab — one-handed access to the full loadout for self-aid on an injured limb.

CoTCCC-Recommended Contents

Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended HyFin Compact Chest Seal, with Combat Gauze — itself CoTCCC-recommended — in the Combat Gauze and Advanced builds.

Three Configurations

Basic, Basic with Combat Gauze, and Advanced — in Black, Coyote Tan, or Ranger Green — scale the wound-packing capability to mission and training.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the Lumbar First Aid Kit include a tourniquet?

No. The NAR Lumbar First Aid Kit (L-FAK) is intentionally designed without an integrated tourniquet. NAR recommends pairing it with a separate C-A-T® tourniquet and dedicated tourniquet holder, sold separately. This design philosophy keeps the tourniquet in a faster-access dedicated holder while the L-FAK carries wound management supplies.

What is the advantage of lumbar carry versus vest carry for an IFAK?

Lumbar carry positions the medical kit at the small of the back or waist — accessible without removing a plate carrier or body armor, especially during vehicle operations or in confined spaces. Some operators prefer lumbar carry because the kit is out of the way during shooting positions and still reachable by either hand. The L-FAK's pull-tab inner carrier allows rapid one-handed access in this orientation.

What is the difference between the Basic and Advanced L-FAK configurations?

The Basic includes 2 NAR Wound Packing Gauze rolls, HyFin® Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack, 4 in. ETD™ Mini Dressing, and 2 pairs of Bear Claw gloves. Basic with Combat Gauze adds a CoTCCC-recommended QuikClot® Combat Gauze Z-Fold hemostatic dressing. The Advanced configuration expands on the Basic with Combat Gauze with additional supplies for enhanced capability.

Does the L-FAK address the MARCH protocol?

The L-FAK Basic covers Massive Hemorrhage (wound packing gauze, ETD™) and Respiration (HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack). Combat Gauze variants add CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic capability. Tourniquet (M), Airway (A), and Hypothermia (H) supplies require separate carry. The L-FAK is designed as a complement to a dedicated tourniquet holder, not a standalone MARCH kit.

What colors is the Lumbar First Aid Kit available in?

The NAR Lumbar First Aid Kit is available in Black, Coyote Tan, and Ranger Green — all three in Basic, Basic with Combat Gauze, and Advanced configurations. All are compatible with MOLLE/PALS attachment systems for modular kit building.
