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.

Thursday, February 20th, 2014The Safariland Group Adds Innovative Sons Trauma Kit to its Life-Saving Offerings
Sunday, January 19th, 2014When we walked into the Safariland booth at SHOT Show, I was really surprised to see Phokus Research Group set up right in the middle. And, they were being bombarded by potential customers. The SONS Trauma Kit is a perfect pairing with a plate carrier and Safariland offers several.
ONTARIO, California – The Safariland Group announces today an agreement with Phokus Research Group to distribute the innovative Sons Trauma Kit to its public safety customers. These kits feature a low-profile, flat design at only one-half inch thick and about one-half pound in weight, and offers quick accessibility for life-saving first responder treatment. They are extremely durable and uniquely carried comfortably and securely behind the operator’s ballistic trauma plate or under concealable armor and easily removed when needed. The Sons Trauma Kit is offered in two standard sizes with a total of five varieties to offer kits for various missions or team preferences.
“The SONS Trauma Kit is a perfect complement to our body armor solutions,” said Todd Mackler, Vice President of Body Armor for The Safariland Group. “This innovative kit frees up valuable duty space for operators while providing essential life-saving tools. This product is a true innovation that changes the playing field in terms of carrying first responder life-saving trauma kits, as this product is not merely carried, but it is “worn” as an extension of the user’s ballistic vest.”
Packed in heavy-duty medical-grade vinyl and machine pressure sealed with RF-welded seams, it creates weatherproof protection for the critical medical supplies inside. The Sons Trauma Kits follow all Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Guidelines and Protocols and feature high-quality, combat-proven components. The contents are packed around injury patterns in order of priority for care and the patent-pending design includes a pull?tab and rip?cord for quick deployment. These highly durable trauma kits are immediately accessible, allowing for fast treatment when seconds count. All kits are designed to last 24-30 months. The Sons Trauma Kit has been proven in Afghanistan and Iraq for four years and now this product is available for tactical teams and law enforcement patrol officers.
The First Responder Trauma Kit is 9” x 12”, less than one-inch thick and weighs approximately one-half pound. This version is ideal for tactical teams to wear in their vest plate pocket behind the operator’s ballistic plate. The First Responder Low-Visibility Trauma Kit is 6” x 9”, less than one-inch thick and weighs approximately one-half pound. This version is ideal for patrol officers to insert into the soft trauma plate pocket of their concealable vest, store in a glove compartment, insert into a cargo pants pocket, or keep in a gear bag.
The Sons Trauma Kits will be available at dealers and distributors of the Safariland Group in February. MSRPs are as follows.
Model Description MSRP
FRTK-1 First Responder basic kit 55.00
FRTK-2 First Responder with Occlusive 100.00
FRTK-3 First Responder w/Clotting Gauze & Occlusive 140.00

NOLATAC Training And Consulting – M3T Multi-Mission Medical Taco
Thursday, January 9th, 2014
NOLATAC’s M3T – Multi-Mission Medical Taco is designed as a versatile and adaptable platform for users to carry and deploy their IFAK. The M3T was designed for use with the NOLATAC ITK (Individual Trauma Kit), although adaptability to accept other medical insert components was built in from the start. Two separate side pockets are designed for use with a tourniquet or other items such as medical shears and chem lights. When not in use these pockets can also be tucked out of sight. The M3T features completely ambidextrous mounting options on PALS webbing, G-Code RTI System, or up to 2″ belts in a vertical or horizontal configuration; it comes standard with 2 MALICE clips. Independent shock/bungee cord retention allows for security, low-profile, user field maintenance, and repair. A Velcro panel allows for the attachment of a medical marker. Made in the USA.

Announcing Cleer Medical LLC
Thursday, January 9th, 2014For the past year, Eleven 10 LLC and Raven Concealment Systems have been collaborating behind the scenes on a new enterprise.
This new joint-venture is CLEER Medical LLC, based in Cleveland, Ohio. CLEER Medical combines Eleven-10’s operational experience and medical expertise with Raven Concealment’s advanced design/manufacturing capabilities and their expertise in developing gear for low-visibility/no-visibility missions.
Remember that Low-Viz Blow-Out Kit that we previewed in May? That is one of the products they have been working on.
The focus of CLEER will be to make TCCC-compliant medical products that are smaller, lighter, and more effective than anything presently on the market, without compromising effectiveness.
Making life-saving items smaller and lighter means those items will be able to be taken to more places, and in greater quantity.
CLEER Medical will be unveiling their first product at SHOT 2014. You can find their products at booth #561 (with Raven Concealment Systems). Those who wish to learn more can sign up for their email newsletter at www.cleermedical.com.
