Product Overview

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

The tourniquet included is the CoTCCC-recommended SOFTT-W-R in Rescue Orange — a high-visibility color chosen to help untrained responders identify the correct device quickly 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 is placed in the victim's doorway or staging area to alert 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, the TacMed instructions use brightly colored, high-resolution illustrated steps designed for stress-impaired cognitive function — the same design philosophy used in Stop the Bleed® curricula. The kit 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: Staging 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: Resealable bag design supports repeated classroom or tabletop use without replacing the kit

All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the TacMed Emergency Trauma Station Throw Kit designed for untrained bystanders?

Yes. The ETS Throw Kit was specifically designed for untrained bystanders, concerned citizens, and non-clinical first responders. It includes laminated, brightly colored, high-resolution illustrated instructions that guide the user through hemorrhage control steps without medical training. The design reflects Stop the Bleed® principles, optimizing for stress-impaired decision-making common in mass casualty scenarios.

What tourniquet is included in the ETS Throw Kit?

The kit includes the SOFTT-W-R (Rescue Orange) CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet. The Rescue Orange color was deliberately chosen to help untrained responders quickly identify the device under stress, distinguish it from other kit contents, and confirm application visually from a distance. The SOFTT-W (Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet Wide) uses a dual-windlass system suitable for one-handed self-application.

What does the casualty marking card in the Throw Kit do?

The brightly colored 1-foot × 1-foot Casualty Marking Card is placed at the victim's door, staging area, or point of injury to alert additional responders — including law enforcement, EMS, and fire rescue — that there is a wounded casualty in that location. This improves casualty location visibility in chaotic mass casualty scenes where victims may be behind closed doors or in areas not yet reached by professional responders.

Can the ETS Throw Kit be used for training without replacing the components?

Yes. The heavy-weight resealable bag packaging is specifically designed to support training, familiarization, and quality inspection reuse. The laminated instruction card also resists deterioration from repeated handling. For consumable training, TacMed Solutions offers separate training versions; however, the resealable bag design allows instructors to walk through kit contents without consuming sterile or single-use items.

How does the Throw Kit w/Chest Seal differ from the standard Throw Kit?

The Throw Kit w/Chest Seal variant substitutes a chest seal for the standard petrolatum gauze. A chest seal is specifically designed to create an occlusive dressing over a penetrating thoracic wound (gunshot wound to the chest), preventing air entry into the pleural space. This variant is appropriate for active shooter scenarios where gunshot wounds to the torso are the primary anticipated injury pattern.
