TacMed Australia is now stocking the COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C.A.T)- G7. It has all the great features of the Gen 6 C.A.T but has added features including the NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards

COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (CAT) G7

The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a small and lightweight arterial tourniquet that completely occludes blood flow in an extremity. Used for the treatment of life-threatening bleeding, the C.A.T Tourniquet uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip. The C.A.T Tourniquet also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.

2. HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal - Twin Pack
3. SOFTT-W Tournquet

Attention ! NSW Police - Please contact TacMed to order the official NSW Police trauma kits (code: APICK) - contents slightly differ.

Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the biggest causes of preventable deaths in trauma.

The TacMed Bleeding Control Kit has been developed as either a stand-alone?kit or to supplement contemporary?first aid kits.

The contents of our Bleeding Control Kits have been carefully selected to include a tourniquet and trauma dressing used by Militaries & Police around the world.

Contents:

• SOFTT-W Tourniquet
• 6" OLAES Trauma Dressing (with packing gauze)

The BLAST Bandage is designed to provide the ability to quickly package traumatic amputations, burns, and large pattern wounds with minimal use of supplies and minimal effort. The BLAST Bandage provides a 50 cm x 50cm treatment area, which is packaged the size of a 4 combat bandage.

The large non-adherent wound pad can be easily wrapped around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. It provides a large sterile protective covering for shrapnel wounds or burns. With such a large coverage area, the Blast Bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most casualties.

The BLAST Bandage also offers a removable occlusive layer that will cover a 48 cm x 48 cm area or can be used to cover abdominal contents to minimise the loss of heat and moisture.

The bandage features "brakes" which help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high stress application, which are especially helpful during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping process- creating a more secure, effective bandage and decreasing the chance of wounds being exposed during movement.

Ideal for first responders, the QuikClot EMS 4x4 Dressing is a sterile non-woven 4-ply gauze pad that is impregnated with the active ingredient in all QuikClot's products: kaolin.

After years of 4wd'ing and camping around Australia with our mates and family, we finally decided to make a kit suitable for not just our hobby, but for driving to and from work.

We needed a kit that could not only treat our kids when they fall over exploring the bush, but it also had to have the right gear if we are the first on the scene to a serious motorbike accident, pedestrian hit by car or mishap with a chainsaw. 

This kit is the same contents as our ever popular Vehicle Trauma Kit, but instead packed inside our own Tacmed designed vehicle specific trauma bag, which includes ID tags for quick and easy identification of primary components, and the design of the bag facilitates easy visibility of all items.

The contents have been carefully selected by an ex-Army medic & Intensive Care Paramedic so you know it's not just full of cheap "fluffy" first aid items that fill just fill space or add to an item count.

The Aquatic Trauma Kit (ATK) has been developed using products tried and tested on the battlefields of Iraq & Afghanistan.

Used in the treatment of life-threatening bleeding in an aquatic environment, the Aquatic Trauma Kit can be used as a stand-alone kit or as a supplemental kit to standard first aid kits.

A casualty with major injuries (ie Shark Bite or Boat Propellor Injury) can bleed out in minutes if not treated quickly and effectively. Most conventional first aid kits do not have the appropriate equipment for controlling life-threatening bleeding and this is where the ATK comes in....

The Aquatic Trauma Kit comes complete with a large military style trauma dressing, an arterial tourniquet for life-threatening limb bleeds, an emergency blanket for the prevention of hypothermia and gloves and resuscitation face shield for personal protection.

The ATK is compact, rugged and vacuum sealed to protect the contents from water & sand. A must have for the boat, dive bag or car glove box.

The Tacmed Split IFAK is the perfect answer when you want to carry the same basic items for a Trauma First Aid Kit, but keep the size of the pack worn to an absolute minimum.

The split IFAK separates the Tourniquet off into its own pouch so the main pouch holding a flat packed 4" OLAES bandage, compact chest seal and Disposable CPR face shield, can be a smaller size. It also features a tearaway design. This means that when worn on a MOLLE vest fitting for example, the complete kit is contained within 2 smaller and thinner packs rather than 1 large pouch. Alternatively the main pouch could be worn on a belt with the Tourniquet fitted to a MOLLE vest or pack, or carried in a pocket or separate bag.

The IFAK pouch and Tourniquet pouch are designed to use with MOLLE fittings but can both be attached to a belt as well (Tourniquet pouch can fit a belt with a max width of 40mm).

The Tacmed Split IFAK Contains:

• Trauma Pouch
• Compact Chest Seal
• OLAES 4" Trauma Bandage
• Disposable CPR Face Shield
• MARCHE / IMIST Wallet Reference Card
• Tacmed Patch
• Tourniquet Pouch
• SOFTT-W Tourniquet

Note - due to current stock restraints, TQ colour may vary in kits.
