Phokus Highlights Integrated Medical Systems from Discreet Carry to Surgical Care at SHOT Show 2026

Tuesday, January 13th, 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV — Jan 20-23, 2026, Phokus Research Group will present a selection of integrated medical systems at SHOT Show 2026, exhibiting in the ADS Inc. Booth #32103 / Law Enforcement Hall, where the company will showcase scalable solutions spanning discreet everyday carry, individual trauma response, advanced surgical support, and realistic medical simulation products. In addition to the featured products, Phokus will debut more than 20 additional new products across its medical, training, and support product lines during the show.

The lineup reflects Phokus’ role as a medical systems integrator—bringing together in-house design, mission-driven configuration, and strategic manufacturing partnerships to deliver medical solutions built for real-world operational environments.

Discreet / EDC Medical Systems

Vertx Gamut 18L Sling – Phokus Trauma Configuration

Designed for environments where overt medical or tactical equipment is inappropriate, the Phokus Trauma Configuration of the Covert Aid Sling (CAS) provides discreet, organized medical readiness in a low-profile everyday-carry platform. Built on the Vertx Gamut 18L Sling chassis, the system enables rapid access to critical items for trauma management while maintaining a non-descript appearance suitable for civilian, corporate, and executive protection environments.

The configuration prioritizes mobility, intuitive layout, and immediate visual clarity during critical incidents. Offered in scalable trauma loadouts, it allows users to align medical capability with operational risk without changing platforms or compromising discretion—supporting prepared civilians and protection professionals operating in dynamic, public-facing settings.

Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) – Modular & Combat-Proven

ORK IFAK (Operator Response Kit)

The ORK IFAK (Operator Response Kit) is a Phokus-configured individual first aid kit built around the High Speed Gear Med Pak pouch, a battle-proven platform recognized for durability, modularity, and rapid access. By leveraging the Med Pak’s established design, the ORK provides a flexible foundation for organized medical carriage across a wide range of operational roles.

Phokus configures the ORK in accordance with Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines to support mission-driven medical readiness, emphasizing consistent access under stress and a customizable internal organization. Features include a quick-access pull tab, MOLLE compatibility, and a rigid internal organizer panel that is configurable with shock cord and elastic retention, allowing users to tailor the medical carriage while maintaining speed and reliability during self-aid or buddy-aid.

Manufactured by High Speed Gear in the United States and Berry-compliant, the ORK IFAK pairs a trusted pouch platform with Phokus’ configuration expertise to deliver a dependable, operationally relevant medical solution.

Medic & Role 1 Level Systems

Phokus Surgical Ruck (Patent Pending)

The Multi-Mission Medical-Surgical Ruck (M3R-SURG) is a collaboration between Phokus and High Speed Gear, engineered for damage control resuscitation (DCR) and damage control surgery (DCS). Developed to address the demands of advanced care for teams operating in austere, mobile, or forward environments, the system features an external aluminum frame to enhance load carriage. Unlike other solutions on the market, the Surgical Ruck was also designed to store personal sustainment gear (food, water, warming layers), critical for extended operations.

The Surgical Ruck is scalable, agile, and rapidly deployable. It features modular, clear pouches mounted on rigid back panels, enabling teams to configure layouts according to mission requirements. Intended for austere surgical sites, the Surgical Ruck enables the rapid setup of a DCR/DCS capability through internal hanging bags and instrument panels, supporting an efficient transition from movement to advanced care delivery.

Training & Simulation

Wound Torso – In-House Research & Development

Phokus will also showcase its patent-pending Wound Torso task trainer, developed through in-house research and design to support realistic training in hemorrhage control and trauma management. The upper-body task trainer is anatomically configured to simulate complex, high-threat injuries commonly encountered in both military and civilian critical incidents, with emphasis on junctional and non-compressible hemorrhage.

Designed to reinforce TCCC and NREMT principles, the Wound Torso enables responders to train on anatomically relevant wound patterns, treatment priorities, and decision-making under stress. The modular wound cover options allow instructors to tailor scenarios to specific training objectives.

SHOT Show 2026

Phokus Research Group will be exhibiting at SHOT Show 2026 in ADS Inc. Booth #32103 / Law Enforcement Hall, where attendees can view these products in person and engage with the Phokus team on application, configuration, and system integration.

EOTECH Launches Super Short 4-12×36 Vudu Scope

Tuesday, January 13th, 2026

Plymouth, MI (January 2026) – EOTECH is proud to add to its family of super short optics, with the release of the Vudu 4-12×36 First Focal Plane rifle scope. The 4-12x shares similarities to EOTECH’s wildly popular 3-9×32 launched in 2025, but its first focal plane design gears this optic to the more tactical or professional user.

The 4-12x’s overall length is only 7.1”, making this optic ideal on even the shortest rifle or AR-pistol designs. &The scope body is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum to be a compact, lightweight, but still incredibly durable package that is fog, water and shock resistant. Its 36mm objective lens allows for excellent light transmission, even in low-light, or dusk and dawn conditions.

A wide power band on the eyepiece makes transitioning from low to high magnification quick and easy and a substantial boss feature on the power ring makes it even faster. An adjustable diopter allows for precise focus for the individuals vision.

The scope’s turrets offer .1 MRAD adjustments and are both capped to protect from inclement weather or inadvertent adjustments. And, once the scope is zeroed, the turrets can quickly be reset to zero.

A rotary dial located on the left side of the optic provides an illuminated reticle with 10 brightness settings to help in dusk and dawn lighting conditions. A CR2032 is located next to the rotary dial providing roughly 300 hours of operation. The 4-12x sports the same XC high density, low dispersion multi-coated glass as its predecessors for excellent light transmission and scene clarity.

But what makes the 4-12x stand out from other magnified optics is its mounting interface. To minimize the overall length, EOTECH reduced the tube area typically used for mounting rings. Instead, a machined interface located at the bottom of the scope will adapt to the included EOTECH mount, or any aftermarket mini-ACOGÒ mounts, and mount directly on a mil-standard rail. This provides a 1.53” height above more, clearing most rear iron sights.

The first focal plane is preferred by more tactical users because the design allows quick range estimation and trajectory compensation at any magnification. In this design, the reticle and its sub-tensions, maintains its size relative to the target image. For those wanting a non-magnified solution, EOTECH offers an optional ring mount that can be attached to the slim, front tube section to mount an EFLX or other compatible micro sights. It can be positioned at the 12 o’clock position or at 45-degree offsets to give you immediate transitions for close or moving targets.

In the tactical world, size and weight are major factors in equipment decisions. The super short 4-12x is small in size, lightweight, packed with features, and ideal for any shooting situation. To learn more about this or any other EOTECH product, visit eotechinc.com

EOTECH Launches the OGL-C Commercial Laser System

Monday, January 12th, 2026

Plymouth, MI (January 2026) – EOTECH is proud to introduce the OGL-C. This commercial variant provides all the features and benefits of the standard OGL but with eye-safe visible and IR lasers and IR illumination.

Available in either Black or Tan, the OGL-C can be mounted on any side of the rifle’s handguard, but the primary position is on the top rail. Ample separation between the lasers and the IR illuminator ensures no interference with front iron sights. Only slightly larger than a deck of cards, the housing incorporates strategic cuts and channels to reduce unnecessary weight.

“We are excited to get the consumer friendly OGL out into the market” said Mark Miller, EOTECH Product Manager. “This product was designed and developed with ergonomics in mind, as well as a feature set that is sure to satisfy the more sophisticated tactical user.”

Stacked vertically on the front of the OGL-C are the visible and IR lasers. Both lasers are co-aligned and share windage and elevation adjustments, making the zeroing procedure easy. Positioned on the other side is an adjustable illuminator that provides quick beam divergence from a close-range flood to a long-range spot using the sliding adjustment lever. Powered by (1) CR123 battery, the 515-nanometer green visible laser is 6 times easier to see than red lasers and offers .5 milliwatts of power on HIGH. It’s 850-nanometer IR laser provides almost .7 milliwatts at high power. And finally, the 850-nanometer IR illuminator can quickly shift from an approximate 105 MRAD flood to an approximate 30 MRAD beam. Both the lasers and illuminator come equipped with lens covers that provide diffusion.

Additional features include a large, raised, tactile laser fire button that can be located easily, even in the dark, and pressed for momentary operation, or a quick double tap for constant on. At the rear of the OGL-C is an industry standard remote jack that takes most pigtail switches or hot buttons. Selecting the laser or laser illumination combination is easy with the tactile mode selector streamlined to the rear of the housing.

The OGL-C is eye-safe, consumer friendly and the new standard for on-gun laser systems and stealth operations. MSRP is $2,999.

Helikon-Tex Launches Chocolate Chip Desert Pattern for 2026

Friday, January 9th, 2026

Each year Helikon-Tex introduces a classic camouflage pattern to their line up of modern combat clothing and equipment. For 2026 it’s the US 6-Color Desert Pattern, popularly referred to as “Chocolate Chip” due to its distinctive coloration.

Developed in the wake of the series of the Arab-Israeli conflicts of the 60s & 70s, the pattern was based on research conducted in the US southwest with its rocky desert environment rather than the vast sand dunes of the Arabian peninsula.

This logic explains its distinctive construction: six colors and very specific “chips.” The base is a light sand color, overlaid with a slightly darker shade (sand with a faint greenish tone), plus two browns—light and dark—and white, intended to represent pale pebbles. Finally, black appears as the “shadow” of these small elements. Hence the nickname “Chocolate Chip,” because the arrangement of white and black specks reminded many people of chocolate pieces in a cookie.
