Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Platoon IFAK is a compact, MOLLE compatible first aid pouch with 70 pieces in one compartment behind a buckle closure, made to ride on a range bag, duty belt or pack.

The single-compartment layout keeps all of the contents together, and a buckle closure secures it. Dressings come in several sizes: trauma pads, a gauze compress, conforming gauze rolls and sterile gauze pads. Plastic bandages, an elastic bandage, tape, BZK antiseptic towelettes, antiseptic pads, first aid/burn cream packets, ibuprofen tablets, lip balm, a cold pack, scissors, tweezers, nitrile exam gloves and first aid instructions fill out the load.

Contents include 5 trauma pads (5" x 9"), a 4" gauze compress, 2 conforming gauze rolls (4"), 5 sterile gauze pads (2" x 2"), 16 plastic bandages (1" x 3"), an elastic bandage (2" x 5 yd) and 10 ibuprofen tablets. The pouch measures 9" L x 3.25" W x 8.25" H and weighs 1.05 lb. SKUs: FA181B-FAK Black, FA181OD-FAK Olive Drab, FA181R-FAK Red and FA181T-FAK Tan.

Keep the pouch in the same spot on your gear, inspect it on a set schedule and after each use, and check any dates printed on the components. Restock every item used from the contents list before the pouch goes back on your gear.

Field Application Steps

1. MOUNT OR STAGE IT: Attach the pouch to a range bag, duty belt or pack using its MOLLE compatibility, or stage it in one known spot. Tell everyone who works or trains with you where it rides.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the buckle and check every item against the contents list, from the 5 trauma pads to the first aid instructions. Close the buckle when the count is complete.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: All 70 pieces share one compartment. Pack them in the same order every time, with the nitrile exam gloves on top and the dressings, packets and instruments each in their own spot.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Check the scene for hazards before you approach. Call 911 or activate EMS for any serious injury or illness, then bring the pouch to the person.

5. OPEN, THEN GLOVE UP: Release the buckle and open the compartment. Put on a pair of the nitrile exam gloves from the pouch before you reach for any other item.

6. USE ITEMS BY NAME: Reach for each item by its name, such as a trauma pad, the gauze compress, a plastic bandage or the cold pack. Use each one as its own packaging and the first aid instructions direct, and as your training allows.

7. REPORT AND HAND OFF: Tell the arriving EMS crew what happened and which items you used. Note every opened item so your restock list is complete.

8. RESTOCK AND CLOSE: Replace every item used from the contents list and check any dates printed on the components. Close the buckle and return the pouch to its spot on your gear.
