Wallet Trauma Kit – Slim EDC Pocket IFAK for Bleeding Control

The carry consistency principle: Bleeding control equipment only saves lives when it is present at the time of injury. The Wallet Trauma Kit maximizes carry consistency by fitting into the same routine, pocket, and habit structure as an everyday wallet — the most reliably carried everyday object in modern life.

Bifold Wallet Form Factor Designed to carry and present identically to a standard bifold wallet — same pocket, same profile, same carry behavior. Attracts no attention in a crowd, workplace, school, or public venue where visible medical equipment creates friction.

Four Scalable Configurations Choose the capability level that matches your training, environment, and budget: the Wallet Only carrier, Compressed Gauze configuration, QuikClot® Hemostatic Gauze configuration, or Celox Rapid configuration. Upgrade as your training and confidence grow.

CoTCCC-Recommended Option Available The QuikClot® Gauze variant includes kaolin-impregnated hemostatic gauze — CoTCCC-recommended for hemorrhage control and used by military medics, trauma surgeons, and prehospital providers as the gold standard for severe bleeding wounds.

Celox Rapid Variant for Anticoagulant Patients The Celox Rapid configuration uses chitosan-based hemostatic chemistry — an option specifically relevant for patients on anticoagulant medications (warfarin, NOACs, aspirin regimens), as chitosan works independently of the coagulation cascade.

HSA/FSA Eligible Eligible for purchase using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds — reducing the effective out-of-pocket cost for individuals and families managing medical preparedness budgets through tax-advantaged accounts.

Clinician-Designed by MED-TAC International MED-TAC International is clinician-founded and veteran-led — the Wallet Trauma Kit was designed by people who understand both the clinical requirements of hemorrhage control and the real-world carry behavior of non-clinical users in everyday environments.

Plain-Clothes & Civilian Appropriate No MOLLE loops, no IFAK branding, no tactical visual language. The Wallet Trauma Kit presents as a wallet because it was designed to carry as one — appropriate for environments from school hallways to corporate boardrooms to international travel.

Approximately 6 oz Carry Weight The wallet-only platform weighs approximately 6 oz — the addition of supplies adds minimal weight within the practical limits of a back-pocket carry item. There is no meaningful carry burden compared to a standard wallet.

Plain-Clothes Law Enforcement: Detectives, Investigators & Off-Duty Officers

Officers in plain clothes or off-duty status cannot carry a standard duty IFAK without revealing their professional identity or creating visual friction in civilian environments. The Wallet Trauma Kit provides discreet bleeding control capability that is present when needed — at a social event, in a mall, at a restaurant — without compromising concealed carry or plain-clothes status.

Medical Professionals in Non-Clinical Settings

Nurses, paramedics, physicians, and other clinical providers who want portable first-response capability outside the hospital or clinic benefit from a discreet carry option that doesn't require them to look like a field medic at the farmer's market. The QuikClot® variant brings clinical-grade hemostatic capability to civilian bystander response.

Prepared Civilians & Stop-the-Bleed Trained Bystanders

The Stop-the-Bleed campaign has trained millions of civilians in basic hemorrhage control — but only a fraction carry the equipment to act on that training. The Wallet Trauma Kit is the missing link: accessible, always-present bleeding control capability that doesn't require a dedicated gear mindset to maintain as a daily carry habit.

Security Contractors & Private Security Personnel

Personnel operating in environments where a full IFAK would be professionally or contextually inappropriate — executive protection, hospitality security, event security, corporate environments — maintain professional appearance while retaining core hemostatic response capability.

Travelers — Domestic & International

Travelers navigating airports, crowded venues, international destinations, or areas where medical infrastructure is uncertain benefit from guaranteed carry consistency and discreet access to bleeding control that requires no special packing, declaration, or explanation at security checkpoints. Check applicable regulations for your destination before traveling internationally with hemostatic supplies.

Parents & Families Building Everyday Preparedness

Parents who want their children or family members to carry basic bleeding control capability — at school, during commutes, or in daily life — benefit from the Wallet Trauma Kit's non-intimidating form factor. It is a practical gift for anyone who has completed a basic first aid or Stop-the-Bleed course and wants to carry the tools to act.

Training recommendation: Bleeding control capability is most effective when paired with formal training. Consider completing a Stop-the-Bleed course or similar hemorrhage control training to maximize the effectiveness of your Wallet Trauma Kit. MED-TAC International recommends that all kit users have at least basic hemorrhage control training before relying on this equipment in an emergency.

Wallet Only — The carry platform with no supplies. Best for users who already have preferred supplies they want to load themselves, or want to test the form factor before purchasing a kitted variant. Also ideal as a replacement wallet for someone who already carries a separate kit but wants a more discreet carry option.

Compressed Gauze Variant — Provides wound packing capability using standard compressed gauze. Appropriate for basic hemorrhage control scenarios and users seeking an entry-level kitted option. Compressed gauze is effective for direct pressure and simple wound packing.

QuikClot® Hemostatic Gauze Variant — The highest-capability configuration. QuikClot® Combat Gauze uses kaolin-impregnated gauze that activates the clotting cascade on contact with blood — providing significantly faster and more reliable hemostasis than plain gauze in severe bleeding scenarios. QuikClot® Combat Gauze is CoTCCC-recommended and is the most widely used hemostatic dressing in military and advanced prehospital care.

Celox Rapid Variant — Celox Rapid uses chitosan (derived from shellfish) as its active hemostatic agent. Chitosan works by physically binding red blood cells independent of the coagulation cascade — making it a clinically preferred option for patients on anticoagulant therapy. If you or someone you routinely respond to takes blood thinners (warfarin, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or similar agents), the Celox Rapid variant may be the appropriate selection. Consult a medical professional for specific clinical guidance.

Does the Wallet Trauma Kit replace a full IFAK?

No. The Wallet Trauma Kit provides core bleeding control capability in a discreet everyday carry format. It is not a substitute for a full IFAK in tactical or high-risk professional environments — it does not include a tourniquet, chest seal, or the supply redundancy of a dedicated IFAK pouch. For tactical operations, vehicle kits, or medical bag systems, explore MED-TAC's IFAK kits collection. The Wallet Trauma Kit is specifically designed for civilian everyday carry environments where a full IFAK is impractical to carry consistently.

Is QuikClot® gauze safe for non-medical users to apply?

QuikClot® hemostatic gauze is designed for use by trained responders and non-medical bystanders who have received basic hemorrhage control training. The application technique — pack the wound firmly, maintain pressure — is consistent with Stop-the-Bleed and basic first aid training. MED-TAC International recommends that all QuikClot® kit users complete a hemorrhage control course before relying on this equipment. QuikClot® is non-toxic and does not cause an exothermic reaction in the current Combat Gauze formulation.

What is CoTCCC and what does "CoTCCC-recommended" mean for QuikClot®?

The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) is the US Department of Defense advisory body that develops and maintains the TCCC Guidelines — the standard of care for battlefield trauma management. CoTCCC-recommended products have been evaluated and endorsed by this body for use in tactical combat casualty care. QuikClot® Combat Gauze is CoTCCC-recommended for hemorrhage control in wounds not amenable to tourniquet application — the same standard used to guide medical supply decisions for US military medics and special operations forces.

How do I use my HSA or FSA to purchase this?

The Wallet Trauma Kit is HSA/FSA eligible. At checkout on tactical-medicine.com, enter your HSA/FSA card as a standard payment method — most major HSA/FSA debit cards process as standard Visa or Mastercard transactions. If your card is declined, some administrators require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for trauma kit purchases — contact MED-TAC International for documentation support if needed.

Can I carry this on an airplane or through airport security?

TSA generally permits medical supplies in both carry-on and checked bags. Hemostatic gauze is not a prohibited item. Scissors or cutting tools that may be included in some trauma kits are subject to TSA blade-length restrictions — confirm the contents of your specific variant against current TSA guidelines. International travel may involve additional customs considerations depending on destination country regulations.

Which variant should I choose if I'm just starting with bleeding control preparedness?

For most new users, the Wallet with Compressed Gauze variant provides a practical entry point — it includes wound packing capability at an accessible price point, and compressed gauze application is straightforward with basic training. Users who have completed Stop-the-Bleed or equivalent training and want the highest level of hemostatic capability should select the QuikClot® Gauze variant. Users with specific anticoagulant concerns should consider the Celox Rapid variant.

Where is the Wallet Trauma Kit made?

The Wallet Trauma Kit is a MED-TAC International proprietary product, designed and sold by MED-TAC International of Pembroke Pines, FL — a clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified company. It ships from MED-TAC International's Pembroke Pines, FL facility. The hemostatic supplies included in kitted variants (QuikClot®, Celox Rapid) are sourced from their respective manufacturers or authorized master distributors.
