The IFAK is specifically designed to make life-saving hemorrhage control products easily accessible at the point of wounding. The kit comes equipped with two C-A-T® Tourniquets, a proven 100 percent effective one-handed tourniquet, as well as one Z-Fold Combat Gauze LE Hemostatic Dressing, an effective, simple, safe-to-use hemostatic dressing.
The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The C-A-T® utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity.

Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T®’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

QuikClot® Combat Gauze LE™ is a soft, white, sterile, non-woven 3 inch by 4 yards, Z-folded gauze impregnated with kaolin, an inert mineral that does not generate heat. The gauze is individually wrapped in an easy rip, military grade foil pouch. Indicated for temporary external control of traumatic bleeding, QuikClot® Combat Gauze LE™ is flexible and pliable and contours to all wounds. Effective, simple and safe to use when trying to control life-threatening hemorrhage from wounds that are not amenable to tourniquet application.
