Quick Detach Individual First Aid Kit IFAK

Description

The QD IFAK exterior boasts front and side webbing for easy mounting and immediate access to your tourniquet and features a standard Velcro® patch panel. The mounting panel includes a Trauma Shear retention strap and mounting guides.

Once deployed from the closed position, the pouch folds out into a “middle stage” allowing rapid access to your trauma components. The further expansion releases your tear-away medical platform to full length creating an organized and retained display of your IFAK components. The entire platform can be quickly detached in either compact or expanded form for use anywhere your situation requires.

Durable elastic is spaced and sized according to a wide array of common medical and trauma supplies for easy customization and layout. Sections can be organized for medical situations such as Bleeding, Breathing, and Burns. Constructed from genuine 500D Cordura Nylon, and reinforced with heavy-duty Bar-Tack stitching on all webbing. Includes two MALICE CLIPS® for attaching to your MOLLE-compatible platform.
