Compact IFAKs

Compact IFAKs — Pocket-Size Trauma Kits

Small-format IFAKs (Individual First Aid Kits) for EDC, vehicle, and pack carry. Essential trauma and wound-care supplies in a package that fits your pocket or pouch — because the trauma kit you have on you is the only one that matters in an emergency.

What compact IFAKs cover

• Tourniquet — usually compact CAT or SOFTT-W
• Hemostatic gauze (QuikClot, Combat Gauze, or generic)
• Pressure dressing for serious bleeding
• Chest seal (vented if budget allows)
• Trauma shears and gloves

Carry it where you can reach it

A pocket IFAK in your glove compartment is no good when you're standing on the side of the road. Body-carry options sit on a belt, plate carrier, or sling pack — where you can deploy them one-handed under stress. Pick a carry method, then train deploying it.

Pair with broader medical

Compact IFAKs are starting points. Pair with First Aid Kits for larger backup, Med Pouches for carriers, Trauma First Aid for supply categories, and Bleeding Control for specific hemorrhage gear.

On body. Accessible. Ready when seconds matter.
