New TCCC guidelines recommend the use of a vented chest seal for tension pneumothorax. In response, North American Rescue has introduced the HyFin Vent chest seal twin pack. It is a modification of their standard HyFin chest seal.
The 3-channel design ensures that 1 channel is always pointing down.
Already proven successful with soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, Phokus Research Group developed the First Responder trauma kits for use with Law Enforcement.
First Responder Trauma Kit
The First Responder kit is packed around injury patterns in priority of treatment following LEFR-TCC protocols. The kit is machine sealed in medical grade vinyl and precision RF Welding produces a continuous waterproof seal; the kit is designed to last 24-30 months. A pull handle underneath the packaging allows for the kit to be easily retrieved from the small space beneath the user’s ballistic protection. A quick deploy ripcord allows the user to quickly open the pressure seal kit.
The First Responder Kit has three levels of kit contents – Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.
First Responder Low-Visibility Trauma Kit

The Low-Visibility Trauma Kit has two levels of kit contents – intermediate and advanced.

Z-Medica’s Belt Trauma Kit is designed specifically for the domestic First Responder – a compact and affordable alternative to a full-sized IFAK for First Responders limited on space, budget, and training.

CPR face shield
The kit can be worn vertically or horizontally on the belt as well as mounted on a go-bag, rifle sling, or body armor. A variant called the BTK+ adds a separate removable pouch that contains the customer’s choice of a CAT or SOFTT-Wide tourniquet.

Each Friday, SSD takes a look at another facet of FirstSpear’s ever-growing line of clothing and equipment. This week we’ll check out a few new medical items including a pack and two IFAKs.
The Medical Trauma Assault Pack (MTAP), Thin Profile features a large zippered pocket allowing access to the contents. It also integrates the bungee attachment points to secure odd sized items as well as three “tear out” pockets which can be tossed to others providing aid. An easily accessed grab handle will allow the pack to be hung in vehicles or airframes.
Below are some shots of the TMAP from a couple different angles.
Ranger Med Pouch is a two-piece design with the insert completely removable from its carrying component. The insert is secured in place with a stretch hook closure that will remain secure through parachute, fast-rope operations etc. A hook and loop attachment point on the insert allows for indication patch or IFF. Hooks to gear via FirstSpear’s MOLLE-compatible 6/9 attachment system.
Below, you can see it closed and open.
The ERK is a low profile IFAK carrier made from softshell fabric that can be mounted to your gear so that the direction of pull is either up or down. A maritime resistant plastic snap provides additional security to the activation handle and when yanked, the insert (sold separately) is pulled free from the pouch.
Below, the ERK is displayed ready for carriage as well as how it deploys.
As always, here’s Ronnie Fowlkes to tell you all about them.
All are Made in USA and offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam.

Developed by a former SOF Medic, the SWAT-T is a multi-function tourniquet and trauma care device. While useful as a tourniquet, the SWAT-T also can be used as a pressure dressing and elastic bandage, and can be applied more rapidly and higher into the groin and axilla than other more traditional tourniquets. The SWAT-T also takes less space, costs lest, and thanks to its intuitive design requires less training than traditional tourniquets. I gotta tell you, I like the SWAT-T. It’s the only occlusive tourniquet that I know about so it can be used as a tourniquet or a pressure dressing.

During last year’s SOMA, MATBOCK created this video that goes over their LIFT system. For those of you unfamiliar with the Lightweight Integrated Field Transport System, it’s well worth watching the video.
