Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Tactical IFAK is a compact, belt-worn first aid kit for hunters spending a day afield and police officers working a shift, pairing a latex tourniquet and a BleedStop bandage with everyday first aid supplies.

The pouch has YKK zippers throughout. Two large straps with snaps hold it on belts up to 5" wide and keep it in place while you move, and it is MOLLE compatible for gear, packs or vests. Inside, bleeding control supplies share the pouch with plastic bandages, butterfly wound closures, a burn gel packet, ibuprofen tablets, trauma shears, tweezers, nitrile exam gloves and printed first aid instructions.

The pouch measures 3.5" L x 6" W x 8" H and weighs 1.25 lb. It holds 16 plastic bandages at 1" x 3", 5 butterfly wound closures, 3 sterile gauze pads at 4" x 4", a 5" x 9" trauma pad, a 3" elastic bandage, a cravat triangular bandage at 40" x 40" x 56", 8 BZK antiseptic towelettes, 2 ammonia wipes, 2 ibuprofen tablets and 6 safety pins. SKUs are FA142B-FAK, FA142R-FAK, FA142T-FAK and FA142OD-FAK. It is HSA/FSA eligible.

Keep the pouch on the same belt or MOLLE spot every outing, 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 pouch goes back into service.

Field Application Steps

1. MOUNT THE POUCH: Fasten the pouch to a duty or hunting belt up to 5" wide with its two large straps with snaps, or mount it on MOLLE gear, a pack or a vest. Pick the color that fits your uniform or gear.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Unzip the pouch and check every item against the contents list, from the latex tourniquet to the 6 safety pins. Close the YKK zippers when every item is accounted for.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Read the first aid instructions packed in the pouch and learn where the tourniquet, BleedStop bandage, gauze pads and trauma shears sit. Repack each item in the same place every time.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Check the scene for traffic, terrain, firearms or other hazards before you approach. Call 911 or activate EMS, then bring the pouch to the person who needs help.

5. UNZIP, THEN GLOVE UP: Unzip the pouch, then put on the nitrile exam gloves packed inside before you reach for any other item. The kit carries one pack of gloves, 2/pack, so keep extras on your restock list.

6. USE COMPONENTS BY NAME: Reach for each item by its name, such as the latex tourniquet, the BleedStop bandage, a sterile gauze pad or the burn gel packet. 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. Write down every item you opened so the restock list reflects what left the pouch.

8. RESTOCK AND LOG: Replace every item used or opened from the contents list and check any dates printed on the components. Log the restock before the pouch returns to the belt.
