Instant Access When Every Second Counts The Elite First Aid Patrol Trauma Kit Level 1 is an advanced individual first aid kit (IFAK) engineered for high-stress environments where speed is critical. Unlike standard zippered pouches that require two hands and fine motor skills to open, this kit features an innovative Rip-Open Design.

A single downward pull deploys the entire medical loadout instantly, allowing for one-handed access to life-saving tools while keeping your eyes on the threat. Packed with advanced trauma gear including a Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet and NuStat Hemostatic Gauze, it is the ultimate rapid-response solution for law enforcement, tactical operators, and prepared citizens.

Key Features

  • Rip-Open Deployment: Designed for single-motion access, allowing you to deploy the kit with one hand in seconds—essential for self-aid during injury.
  • Advanced Hemorrhage Control: Equipped with a Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, NuStat Hemostatic Gauze, and an Israeli Bandage to stop severe arterial bleeding immediately.
  • Penetrating Trauma Care: Includes a Vented Chest Seal to treat open chest wounds and prevent tension pneumothorax, a critical capability for gunshot or stab wound management.
  • MOLLE Compatible: The rugged pouch features integrated MOLLE straps, making it easy to mount securely on plate carriers, battle belts, or vehicle headrest panels.
  • Compact & Organized: Weighing just 1 lb, the internal layout uses rugged elastic straps to hold every item securely in place, preventing contents from spilling when the kit is ripped open.

Why It Matters In a tactical emergency, fine motor skills degrade. Fumbling with zippers can cost lives. This kit solves that problem with its gross-motor-friendly rip cord mechanism. It provides a complete trauma loadout—stopping the bleed, sealing the chest, and wrapping the wound—in a package that is smaller than a standard magazine pouch.

How to Use & Problem Solving This kit is built for speed.

  1. Mount: Secure to your vest or belt where it can be reached with either hand.
  2. Rip: Pull the handle firmly downward to break the seal and drop the panel.
  3. Tourniquet: Grab the Quick-Tight Tourniquet first for limb blasts.
  4. Pack: Use NuStat Gauze for deep junctional wounds.
  5. Seal: Apply the Vented Chest Seal to torso entries/exits.
  6. Wrap: Finish with the Israeli Bandage to secure dressings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the rip-open design of the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit faster than traditional IFAKs?

The Elite First Aid Patrol Trauma Kit features an innovative single-motion rip-open mechanism that allows one-handed deployment in seconds, unlike traditional zippered or Velcro IFAKs that require two hands and multiple steps. This rapid-access design is critical during high-stress emergencies when every second counts. The MOLLE-compatible pouch stays securely closed during transport but tears open instantly when needed, giving you immediate access to the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, NuStat Hemostatic Gauze, and Israeli Bandage without fumbling with closures.

Does the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit FA144 include NuStat hemostatic gauze or a different brand?

Yes, the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit (SKU FA144) includes one NuStat Hemostatic Gauze Pad 4" x 4", which is specifically designed to control severe bleeding by promoting rapid clotting. NuStat is a trusted hemostatic agent used by EMS and tactical professionals. This is paired with a Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet and a 4" Israeli Bandage, giving you multiple hemorrhage control options in one compact IFAK weighing just 1 lb.

Can I mount the Elite IFAK FA144 on my plate carrier and vehicle at the same time?

The Elite Patrol Trauma Kit comes with MOLLE-compatible mounting straps, so you can attach it to any MOLLE/PALS webbing on plate carriers, tactical vests, belts, or backpacks. If you need one for both your plate carrier and vehicle, we recommend purchasing two kits—one stays mounted on your gear, and one remains in your vehicle emergency kit for rapid deployment. The compact dimensions (6.25" W x 3.25" D x 9.75" H) make it easy to store in glove boxes, center consoles, or door pockets.

Why does the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit include a vented chest seal instead of a standard occlusive dressing?

The vented chest seal included in the Elite FA144 IFAK is specifically designed to treat open chest wounds (sucking chest wounds) while allowing air and fluid to escape, preventing tension pneumothorax—a life-threatening condition. Standard occlusive dressings don't have this one-way valve feature. This makes the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit ideal for range safety, law enforcement, and remote outdoor environments where penetrating trauma is a risk and advanced medical care may be delayed.

Is the Elite First Aid Patrol Trauma Kit suitable for civilians with no medical training?

While the Elite Patrol Trauma Kit contains advanced trauma supplies like the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, NuStat Hemostatic Gauze, and vented chest seal, we strongly recommend basic first aid or Stop the Bleed training before use. These tools are designed for serious injuries and are most effective when the user understands proper application techniques. Many community organizations, fire departments, and shooting ranges offer free or low-cost training. The kit is HSA/FSA eligible, and investing in training ensures you can confidently use these life-saving tools in an emergency.
