Bleeding Control

The most critical category, severe bleeding is the #1 preventable cause of death from trauma.

CAT Tourniquet (Gen 7)

For limb bleeds that won't stop with pressure. The standard of care.

QuikClot Combat Gauze
×2 packs

Hemostatic gauze for wounds where a tourniquet can't be applied.

Israeli Bandage (6")
×4

Pressure bandage for large wounds. Faster and more effective than improvised dressings.

Nitrile Gloves (L & XL)
×10 pairs

Always glove up before touching blood. Keep multiple sizes.

Trauma Shears
×1 pair

Cut through clothing, boots, and tack quickly without moving the patient.

Fractures & Immobilization

Shorter version for wrists and ankles.

Sterile Saline Wound Wash (18 oz)
×2 bottles

Irrigate wounds to remove debris before bandaging. Do not use hydrogen peroxide.

Non-Stick Gauze Pads (4×4)

Primary dressing for open wounds. Non-adherent so removal doesn't reopen the wound.

Close small lacerations without sutures.

Antiseptic Wipes (BZK)
