The new Spider Pouch from Phokus Research Group is designed to offer a variety of carry options for the Shield Trauma Kit. Made by ForstSpear, it can be mounted to Belt, PALS, Velcro’d to another pouch as well as attached to the buttstock of a Carbine. Available in Black or Coyote.
SOTech proudly announces that the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has ordered close to 1000 SOTech Patrol First Aid Kits. 100 of those kits are modified for issue to LASD’s elite Special Enforcement Bureau (SWAT). Of special note, the LASD Patrol set includes a tourniquet belt pouch which will be added to the officer’s gun belt. This pouch slides over SOTech’s belt hanger adapter which LASD already issues to attach their Taser holster, and now their IFAK. In 2015 LAPD bought 2700 of SOTech’s Basic IFAK which is nearly identical to the LASD version, but LAPD has not opted to include a tourniquet belt pouch yet. Both the LASD and LAPD IFAKs mount using SOTech’s patented Speed Clip system which can attach to a belt, MOLLE vest or clip on as a thigh rig. SOTech sells numerous versions of the Speed Clip Rig including the IFAK, Taser and M4 magazine rigs.
The history behind this design and LASD and LAPD’s involvement dates back to 1999 when we developed our Patrolman’s Medical Thigh Rig with officers and deputies from both departments. Ironically we found two officers still using these original rigs over 15 years later. The PMTR was a basis of design for the 30,000 SOF IFAKs that SOTech produced for USASOC and SOCOM throughout the GWOT. So it was fitting that LAPD and LASD approached SOTech in 2012 to develop what was then either a vehicle or an individual mount. SOTech also supplied 5000 slightly modified versions of this design to a federal law enforcement agency.
These kits are offered filled or as the pouch alone. Check them out at SHOT in the SOTech Booth 20113.
Birmingham, AL. – Compression Works LLC announced today that it has hired Chris Richards as its new National Accounts Manager. Mr. Richards has extensive experience in medical device sales. His sales experience within multiple industries and proven success in business development adds critical capabilities as Compression Works broadens its sales.
“Chris is joining us at crucial time. The growing adoption of the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet in use by military and non-military organizations both in the US and globally has created a demand that we want to be prepared to respond to,” said Dr. John Croushorn, President of Compression Works.
Compression Works LLC makes the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT). The AAJT is a device that compresses large arteries in the groin, axilla or mid-abdomen to stop life threatening hemorrhage from blunt or penetrating trauma. The inflatable wedge-shaped bladder has made a lifesaving difference since 2012. It is the only junctional tourniquet to have saved life in upper and lower extremity junctional bleeding. It is simple enough for non-medical providers to reliably place. The AAJT is also currently the only truncal tourniquet approved by the FDA to control pelvic bleeding.

Harrisonburg, Virginia, December 4, 2015 – TSSi is pleased to announce the release of its newest
TACOPS product, the Rolling Mass Casualty Kit.
Close to a decade ago, TSSi provided our U.S. military forces with the first viable combat Mass Casualty Response Kit designed to provide emergency trauma treatment for 16-20 service members subjected to life-threatening injuries. It also included litter movement for six persons. This was closely followed by our Mass Casualty Incident Response Kit, which was specifically intended for civilian use. Both kit versions are currently pre-propositioned within the Department of Defense, in universities and throughout major cities with emergency responders and in locations where large groups of people gather.
Offering the first Rolling Mass Casualty Kit configured inside of a rolling duffle, TSSi once again exemplifies our motto of ‘Innovation, Not Imitation.’
The Rolling Mass Casualty Kit features shoulder straps for ease of movement on stairways and includes sufficient emergency medical components to treat more than 30 casualties having life threatening injuries. Like its predecessors, the new kit continues to provide litter transport for six persons.
For more information about the Rolling Mass Casualty Kit or TSSi’s capabilities, contact a Sales Representative at sales@tssi-ops.com or toll-free 877 535-8774.
