A single bleeding-control kit in the console covers the driver and nobody else. The moment there is a second occupant — a partner, a prisoner, a family member, a casualty dragged to cover behind the vehicle — one tourniquet is not enough. The NAR Vehicle Headrest IFAK Kit mounts to the seat-back headrest posts and carries a deliberate two-tourniquet, dual-chest-seal, dual-ETD load built for more than one patient.
One tourniquet covers one limb on one casualty. What happens when there are two?
At H5.25 × W7.25 × D4.25 in and 1.62 lb, the headrest kit delivers maximum trauma capability in a minimal cabin footprint. The dual tourniquet load is a design decision, not a coincidence — one for self-aid on an injured extremity, one for immediate buddy aid or a second casualty at the vehicle. Paired with two HyFin Vent Chest Seals and two Emergency Trauma Dressings, it is configured against the leading causes of preventable traumatic death: severe hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax.
Why This Kit
2× C-A-T tourniquets, 2× HyFin Vent Chest Seals, 2× ETDs — built so a single responder can treat a self-inflicted wound and a second patient without rationing supplies.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet, HyFin Vent Chest Seal, and ETD — with a Combat Gauze upgrade option that is itself CoTCCC-recommended for hemostatic wound packing.
Headrest-post mounting keeps the kit off the seats and floor but visible and grabbable from the rear bench — ideal for transport and prisoner-handling roles.
Black and Coyote Tan shells match department vehicle interiors and gear standards; high-visibility C-A-T Orange tourniquets stay easy to locate under stress.
