Is the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit suitable for use by non-medical personnel?

Yes. The kit is designed for ease of use, making it effective for anyone with basic first aid training or emergency preparedness.

Can the items in the kit be reused?

Most items are intended for single use in emergency situations. It’s recommended to restock used components immediately to maintain readiness.

Does the TacMed Bleeding Control Kit expire?

Yes. While the pouch itself does not expire, items such as gloves, dressings, and the emergency blanket have expiry dates (generally 3–5 years). These should be checked and rotated regularly.

Is the Bleeding Control Kit workplace compliant?

The TacMed Bleeding Control Kit is not a replacement for a standard workplace first aid kit, but it exceeds standard requirements for severe bleeding control. Many businesses and organisations add it alongside their compliance kits for high-risk environments.

How does the Bleeding Control Kit differ from the Operator IFAK or larger trauma kits?

The Bleeding Control Kit focuses specifically on life-threatening haemorrhage management. It is more compact than an IFAK or full trauma kit, containing only the critical tools needed to stop severe bleeding until advanced care arrives.

Is the kit compact and easy to carry?

Yes. The kit is lightweight, vacuum-sealed, and designed to fit in vehicles, backpacks, and small storage spaces, making it practical for workplaces, travel, or personal preparedness.
