Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Advanced GP IFAK is a vehicle headrest first aid kit for drivers and fleets, carrying bleeding control and airway items alongside everyday first aid supplies in one pouch.

An adjustable buckle and strap fit most vehicle headrests, and a pull handle detaches the kit from its mount. The pouch sits on a removable hook and loop backing panel with MOLLE straps, plus two D-rings for clips or carabiners. Inside are a Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, a NuStat hemostatic gauze pad, an emergency trauma dressing, a vented chest seal and a nasopharyngeal airway, along with bandages, topicals and instruments.

Sized contents include a NuStat hemostatic gauze pad (4" x 4"), a burn dressing (4" x 4"), a 4" conforming gauze roll, a 5" x 9" trauma pad, 16 plastic bandages (1" x 3"), 4.5" iris scissors, 2 scalpels and a DEN-TEK dental repair kit. The pouch measures 5" L x 8" W x 9" H and weighs 2.1 lb. SKUs: FA185B-ADV Black, FA185OD-ADV Olive Drab, FA185R-ADV Red and FA185T-ADV Tan.

Keep the kit on the same headrest or mount, inspect it on a set schedule and after every use, and check any dates printed on the components. Restock every item used from the contents list before the kit goes back on its mount.

Field Application Steps

1. MOUNT ON THE HEADREST: Wrap the adjustable strap around a vehicle headrest and close the buckle so the kit hangs in a known, visible spot. The strap fits most vehicle headrests.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the pouch and check every item against the contents list, from the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet to the survival whistle, before the kit goes in the vehicle.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Note where the bleeding control supplies, the chest seal and airway items, the bandages and the instruments sit. Show every driver of the vehicle where the kit hangs and how the pull handle works.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Pull off the road where it is safe and watch for traffic before you step out. Call 911 or activate EMS for any serious injury or illness.

5. DETACH, OPEN, GLOVE UP: Pull the handle to free the kit from its mount, then open the pouch. Put on a pair of the nitrile exam gloves from the kit before you reach for any other item.

6. USE ITEMS BY NAME: Reach for each item by its name, such as the Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet, the NuStat hemostatic gauze pad or a plastic bandage. 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. Write down every opened item so the restock list reflects what left the kit.

8. RESTOCK AND REMOUNT: Replace every item used from the contents list and check any dates printed on the components. Close the pouch and return it to its headrest or mount.
