Designed specifically for LE first responders to render basic aid, the Trunk Kit was modified from a sub kit in the CASEVAC system. This bag configuration includes stopping bleeding, CPR and and prevent hypothermia. While the IFAK will support one person, the Trunk Kit supports up to six patients. The overall form factor will Velcro into place in a trunk, hence the name. It opens fully to expose all of the contents which can be customized based on local protocols.

Think of the IFAK as small, Trunk Kit as Medium and for a Large medical kit, Tribalco offers a Mass Casualty Kit.

    SOMA – Tribalco / Peke

    Wednesday, December 10th, 2014

    Manufactured by Peke, the Tribalco Bio Containment Kit was developed to contain everything needed to enter into an austere gross bio contaminated environment to retrieve and isolate a casualty. Although, Peke makes other pod and suit models, this kit is specific for military use by Tribalco who also offers new equipment training during fielding.

    The pod is designed to provide an isolated micro environment for treatment and living indefinitely but typically 24 hours. The pod itself is climate controlled and containing ports for medicine, food, and water in and waste out. It provides bilateral access to the patient. As you can see, it features clear panels for patient examination and management.

    The full kit has all of the ancillary items needed for the extraction and isolation. This includes a new bio suit as well materials to deal with bio hazard waste associated with such threats as Ebola. Conversely, the pod can become a positive pressure system to protect burn patients during long transits.

    The pod will fit on a NATO STD stretcher and accommodates up to 350 lbs and is 2.7 m in length. Peke also offers shorter models for pediatric use as well as longer versions.

    SOMA – SOTech

    Tuesday, December 9th, 2014

    SOMA isn’t just about military tactical medicine. It also showcases products and services for the LE and first responder community.

    IMG_0170.JPG

    One example of this is SOTech. Back in 1999 they developed belt hanger with zapped Clip pouches for LE (left above). Earlier this year, they modified the system in order to allow the pouch to attach directly to the belt (center above) but they split the belt attachment in order to make it PALS compatible. Now, they’ve adapted this to a new pouch called the MAG-MED rig.

    The MAG-MED rig is part of their MACTAC line which supports LE. This drop leg rig holds four magazines plus a full IFAK. Primarily focused on Active Shooter scenarios, the medical gear ingeniously sits in front of and below the magazines.

    Tuesday, December 9th, 2014

    Every 18D makes his own Articulating Splint during the Q Course. Most, never see it again once the get to their ODA. Former 1st Group medic, Zak A took the concept and developed the Suspected Orthopedic Fracture Splint or SOF Splint.

    Zack built the splint he wanted to use. It’s highly adaptable and can be applied to a wide number of orthopedic injuries. He sees it as a lighter alternative to other options. Made in the USA by SOTech and comes with a PALS compatible carrying case.
