FAQ

What should a standard IFAK contain?

A working kit covers bleeding control, airway, and wound care. Our standard build ships a CAT-style tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, pressure dressing, chest seal, and trauma shears inside a tear-away pouch. Military and police units often swap one or two components, so we build the kit around your treatment protocol instead of a fixed catalog list.

What is your MOQ for tactical medical kits?

Our minimum order is 100 pieces per kit configuration. For agencies testing a new protocol we accept a trial order of about 50 pieces. Samples ship in 5-7 days and full production runs 20-30 days after artwork and component approval. Mixed contents inside one pouch count as one configuration, so you can split sizes across a single order.

Can we customize pouch color and contents?

Yes. Pouches run in black, coyote brown, ranger green, and MultiCam patterns, and every insert is swappable. You can drop the shears, add a second chest seal, or upgrade the gauze. Custom embroidery and printed logos add no tooling cost above 100 pieces. We send a photo proof before any fabric is cut.

Which tourniquets and gauze do you supply?

We supply windlass tourniquets tested to 1000 pounds of strap tension, plus flat-fold gauze and hemostatic dressings. Every tourniquet batch is pull tested and date coded for traceability. Buyers working from an approved device list can specify exact brands, and we source those through authorized channels so warranty coverage stays intact.
