Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Enhanced IFAK Advanced is a drop leg first aid pouch for tactical and field users, built around a Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet with an emergency trauma dressing, a compressed gauze roll and a nasopharyngeal airway.

The pouch rides on the thigh on adjustable leg and belt straps, and a detachable buckle system lets it come off the belt or leg when the setup changes. Inside, elastic straps hold the supplies in place, each with a pull tab in the center to lift it. The load pairs the bleeding control supplies with lubricant jelly for the airway, trauma pads, tape, bandage shears and nitrile exam gloves.

Contents are one Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, one emergency trauma dressing, one 4" compressed gauze roll, a nasopharyngeal airway, lubricant jelly, 2 trauma pads, 5" x 9", hypoallergenic tape, 1" x 10 yd, bandage shears and 2 packs of nitrile exam gloves, 2/pack. The pouch measures 2.5" L x 7.5" W x 7" H and weighs 1.75 lb. Colors are Black, Olive Drab and Tan.

Inspect the pouch, straps and buckle on a set schedule and after every use, and check any dates printed on the components. Restock every used item under its elastic strap before the pouch goes back on the leg.

Field Application Steps

1. FIT THE POUCH: Set the pouch on your thigh and adjust the leg and belt straps for a stable, comfortable fit. Fit it with the belt and gear you wear on duty, and adjust it again whenever your setup changes.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the pouch and check every item against the contents list, from the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet to the nitrile exam gloves. Record anything missing or damaged before you wear the kit.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Learn where each item sits under the elastic straps inside. Lift a strap by its center pull tab to insert or retrieve an item, and return each item to the same strap after every restock.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Check the scene for hazards before you approach the person. Call 911 or activate EMS as your protocol directs.

5. OPEN, THEN GLOVE UP: Open the pouch on your leg, or release the detachable buckle to take it off the belt or leg first. Then put on a pair of the nitrile exam gloves packed inside before you reach for other items.

6. USE COMPONENTS BY NAME: Lift each elastic strap by its pull tab and take the item by name, such as the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, the emergency trauma dressing, the compressed gauze roll or a trauma pad. Use each one as its own packaging directs and as your training allows.

7. REPORT AND HAND OFF: Tell the arriving EMS crew what happened and which items you used. Set opened packaging aside so the restock list reflects what left the pouch.

8. RESTOCK AND REFIT: Replace every item used or opened from the contents list and check any dates printed on the components. Seat each item under its elastic strap and refit the leg and belt straps before your next shift.
