It also gives the user full accessibility to the inside compartments in order to update contents or replace expired ones, meaning Warfighters can keep one kit throughout their entire career.

Advanced Behind the Plate Trauma Kit includes shaped bladder design with dual patented TRU Zip waterproof zippers, two separate chambers and a middle seam which keeps all contents in place.

The Low Vis Pocket Trauma Kit was made to fit easily and securely in the small of the back, inside a Cargo pocket, or Cummerbund pocket.

Additionally, the release of the second-generation Wound Cube™ wound simulator offers users five new, realistic wound patterns in a semi-transparent silicone cube for wet or dry training. The original Wound Cube was designed to increase muscle memory for students learning how to master the basics of stopping the bleed without the mess.
