There are three variants of the Sons Trauma Kit.
Originally designed to fit in the plate pocket of an armor vest the initial military variant was soon augmented with an LE version. Not long ago they realized you could carry the Sons Trauma Kit in the hydration sleeve of a backpack and the hunter/outdoorsman model was born.

215 Gear has introduced a couple of innovative new Kydex inserts.
The first is a medical insert that transforms a standard double 30rd mag pouch into an IFAK. The insert offers a smooth design that easily conforms to a mag pouch and the 3′ of bungee allow you to set the insert up for easy access to your medical items by routing it through the grid.
The second insert is for more general purpose items. Officially named the 6 x 8 GP Insert, Kydex, it has got your EDC items covered. You use the adaptive design of the rigid insert combined with 6′ of shock cord to customize the carry of gear you need ready access to whether stored in a pouch, pack or pocket.
