Frequently Asked Questions
What should every trauma kit include?
At a minimum, every trauma kit should include a tourniquet, gauze for wound packing, a pressure bandage, chest seals, gloves, and trauma shears.
What's the difference between an IFAK and a trauma kit?
An IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) is designed for one person and focuses primarily on life-threatening injuries. A trauma kit can be larger and support multiple patients or extended care situations.
How many tourniquets should I carry?
The general recommendation is to carry at least two tourniquets, as severe injuries may require more than one.
Do I need training to use this equipment?
Yes. We strongly encourage everyone to complete a bleeding control or first aid course, such as Stop the Bleed®, CPR, or first aid training.
