Ranges have a predictable injury profile: penetrating ballistic wounds, blast injury from muzzle blast or propellant fragments, plus the eye trauma, burns, and sprains that come with any active range day. A generic first aid box doesn't cover it.
What's purpose-built for the range injury profile and grabbable by anyone on scene?
The Range Trauma Kit is engineered for exactly that environment — a mobile, high-visibility trauma platform a range safety officer can carry, stage at a medical station, or keep in the facility. The bright orange 1000-denier nylon bag with reflective trim stays visible in the chaos of a range emergency, and four carry modes (fanny pack, shoulder, hand-carried, or MOLLE/PALS) make it deployable by anyone on scene regardless of their own kit. Front-panel trauma-shear storage gives instant access without opening the main compartment. Its 19 components cover every major range injury category: two orange C-A-T® tourniquets for extremity hemorrhage, HyFin® Vent chest seal for chest wounds, Combat Gauze® or ChitoGauze® PRO for wound packing, four ETDs, SAM® splints for fractures, Burntec® burn dressings, and a full minor-injury complement. The NATO NSN (6545-01-610-5411) enables direct military procurement.

When to Deploy the Range Trauma Kit
- Shooting range safety officer kit: Carried by the RSO or staged at the medical station — provides coverage for the full range injury spectrum including penetrating ballistic wounds and blast injuries.
- Military and LE training range: NSN 6545-01-610-5411 enables direct procurement for unit ranges; the hi-vis orange bag is findable in the chaos of a range emergency.
- Gun club and competition events: Portable four-way carry gives event medical staff a mobile trauma platform they can deploy to any injury location on the range.
- Burn and blast injury response: Burntec® dressings and eye wash address muzzle-blast burns and propellant fragment eye injuries that generic first aid boxes miss.
- Firearm instructor personal staging: Instructors who prefer a dedicated personal kit over facility staging keep the Range Trauma Kit in their range bag — covers their own liability and enables immediate response.

How the Range Trauma Kit Compares
Range Trauma Kit (soft case) vs. Range Trauma Kit Hard Case: The soft-case kit is portable and multi-carry for roving RSOs and instructors; the hard case is the permanent-station version for fixed medical post, vehicle compartment, or wall-mount. Both contain the same clinical content.
Combat Gauze® vs. ChitoGauze® PRO variant: Combat Gauze® (kaolin-impregnated) is CoTCCC-recommended and the DoD standard. ChitoGauze® PRO (chitosan-based) is preferred by operators who prioritize non-animal-derived hemostasis. Clinical efficacy is comparable; choice reflects unit SOP and allergy considerations.
Range Trauma Kit vs. generic first aid kits: Generic kits lack tourniquets, chest seals, and hemostatic dressings — the critical items for ballistic injury. The Range Trauma Kit is purpose-built for the range threat profile; a generic kit is not a substitute.
Range Trauma Kit vs. individual IFAKs: IFAKs are personal kits for the individual operator; the Range Trauma Kit is a shared, multi-casualty platform for range-level response. Both should be present at a properly equipped range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Range Trauma Kit contain CoTCCC-recommended items?
A: Yes. The Combat Gauze® variant (80-299) includes CoTCCC-recommended Combat Gauze® hemostatic dressing and C-A-T® tourniquets (orange), both of which are on the CoTCCC list of recommended items. The ChitoGauze® PRO variant (80-213) substitutes chitosan-based hemostasis — check your unit SOP for preferred agent.
Q: Can the Range Trauma Kit be used by non-medically trained personnel?
A: The kit is designed for both medically trained and non-trained personnel. Tourniquets and pressure dressings can be applied by bystanders with basic Stop the Bleed® training. Some components (chest seals, hemostatic packing) are most effective when applied by trained individuals. NSO, RSO, and range staff should complete at minimum Stop the Bleed® and ideally a TCCC/TECC course.
Q: What is the NSN for the Range Trauma Kit?
A: NATO NSN 6545-01-610-5411. This enables direct military procurement through standard supply channels. Contact MED-TAC International for current pricing, CAGE code, and available contract vehicles.
Q: How do I choose between Combat Gauze® and ChitoGauze® PRO?
A: Combat Gauze® (kaolin) is the CoTCCC-preferred hemostatic agent and DoD standard. ChitoGauze® PRO (chitosan, derived from shellfish) is preferred where animal-derived products raise concerns or where unit SOP calls for it. Both agents are effective; consult your medical officer for guidance aligned with your unit's protocol.
Q: Does the Range Trauma Kit include eye wash and burn dressings?
A: Yes. The kit includes a 4 oz eye wash for chemical/debris eye injuries and two Burntec® burn dressings (5″ × 10″) for muzzle-blast burns. These address injuries common on ranges that standard IFAKs typically omit.
