MEDICAL KITS
We build IFAKs and tactical medical packs for almost every kind of operator, from the minimally trained outdoorsman to the veteran combat medic or paramedic and ranging in size from the smallest tactical IFAK to massive trunk-sized Recompression Dive kits. To get more news about

It is important that the contents of your IFAK are matched to your level of training and the type of injuries you are most likely to treat, so careful reading of contents lists is a must. Another consideration is the way it is packaged and contained—there is no point in paying for an elaborate thigh-rig if it is going to end up in a pack or vehicle. Please check out our extensive IFAK selection, as well as our EMS and First Responder offerings.
With so many options for battle belt IFAKs, it can be hard to sort through it all, but the Live the Creed Responder IFAK manages to provide the perfect package for virtually any loadout. Its non-traditional design and to-the-point equipment list covers virtually anything an operator (or mall ninja) could ever need.
Belt-mounted med kits must be compact, convenient affairs — something the Responder IFAK accomplishes with flair. In place of zippers, it features a single-buckle, sheath-and-sleeve design which allows fast access to life-saving equipment. This American-made kit includes all the MARCH essentials (minus a survival blanket), including an optional CAT tourniquet and holder mounted on the bottom. The backside features dual MOLLE-compatible mounting mounts with Maxpedition TacTie mounting clips that can double as belt loops, as well as a dedicated belt loop for mounting the pouch in a vertical position on up to 2.5-inch belts. The entire pouch consists of water-resistant, laser-cut laminate Cordura.
Unfortunately, the Responder is downright expensive, especially with the optional tourniquet and holder which are a package deal. Other drawbacks include the lack of a survival blanket, a potentially life-threatening omission for shock patients, and the fact that the tourniquet holster cannot be purchased and attached to the kit down the road. Users also reported that the buckle sometimes snags on the sheath during sleeve removal, although this is more a nuisance than an actual problem.
North American Rescue is a legend in the tactical medicine world, so it fits that the North American Rescue Eagle IFAK (Advanced Life Support) earned a spot on this list. While certainly comfortable on a battle belt, this emergency medical kit feels most at home mounted on your plate carrier.
The Eagle IFAK employs a clamshell-esque prominent loop handle and dual zippers down the front panel. Once secured to your vest with the dual rear-mounted MOLLE strips, the pouch can be ripped open with a single hand, and the Velcro-secured removable insert allows you to transfer your medical gear straight into your workspace. The insert features a large red pull tab for a quick, secure grip and secures the included medical equipment into place with a crisscrossing shock cord. This kit comes with nothing but the best, including a CAT tourniquet and vented HyFin chest seals, and the advanced life support (ALS) version that we recommend also includes Combat Gauze (instead of non-hemostatic S-gauze), a nasopharyngeal airway, and a decompression needle.
The Eagle IFAK’s biggest drawback is that it lacks a survival blanket, an odd omission considering the low cost, minimal space reduction, and life-saving potential of such an item. If you decide to purchase a second Eagle for your battle belt, you may be disappointed to find that it cannot be mounted horizontally. Lastly, North American Rescue requires a Medical Device Authorization to purchase the ALS version of this kit, an understandable yet annoying inconvenience.
