Phokus Research Group is excited to launch two new products—a waterproof option for it’s behind the plate and pocket trauma kits, as well as the second-generation Wound Cube™ simulator with five new wound patterns.
For more than a decade, Phokus has manufactured innovative medical kits and wound simulation training devices. Through the use of their individual first aid systems (IFAS), Warfighters always have lifesaving medical gear on them, regardless of their uniform.
Users have been requesting a waterproof version so they can take it into any environment. Now, with the addition of the patented TRU Zip waterproof zipper, Phokus Research Group’s trauma kits are waterproof.
Both their behind the plate split kit and pocket kits are tested dustproof and waterproof to IP67, meaning they withstand immersion in water one meter deep for up to 30 minutes.
Engineered to be undetectable to the wearer, the Extreme bladder shares the benefits from previous Phokus product lines, including total protection from water, dust and sand. It also gives the user full accessibility to the inside compartments in order to update contents or replace expired ones, meaning Warfighters can keep one kit throughout their entire career.
Advanced Behind the Plate Trauma Kit includes shaped bladder design with dual patented TRU Zip waterproof zippers, two separate chambers and a middle seam which keeps all contents in place.
The Low Vis Pocket Trauma Kit was made to fit easily and securely in the small of the back, inside a Cargo pocket, or Cummerbund pocket.
Additionally, the release of the second-generation Wound Cube™ wound simulator offers users five new, realistic wound patterns in a semi-transparent silicone cube for wet or dry training. The original Wound Cube was designed to increase muscle memory for students learning how to master the basics of stopping the bleed without the mess. Read Eric Graves of Soldier Systems Daily’s review of the first-generation wound cube.
The Gen 2 Wound Cube’s five new wound patterns include:
• Deep Laceration
• Gouge
• Exit Wound
• Flat Wound
• Large Bore
The cube design provides more effective training in any classroom setting, including the ability for a flashlight to be inserted in a wound channel to allow illumination of the wound from the inside.
