North American Rescue Trauma & First Aid Kits

Q: What's the difference between an IFAK and a bleeding control kit?

A bleeding control kit is a sealed, single-purpose kit: usually a tourniquet, hemostatic or compressed gauze, a pressure dressing and gloves. It's built so an untrained bystander can follow the pictures. An IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) is a wearable pouch with more trauma supplies, organized for fast access on a belt, vest or pack. For home and vehicles, a larger kit such as the RED Kit or Patrol Vehicle Trauma Kit covers both serious bleeding and everyday injuries.

Q: What do Basic, Combat Gauze and Celox mean on kit options?

Many NAR kits come in levels. Basic uses standard gauze and dressings. With Combat Gauze (QuikClot) or with Celox Gauze adds hemostatic gauze, which helps blood clot when packed into a wound. With Bleeding Control Dressing adds a QuikClot bleeding control dressing.

North American Rescue FAQ

Who is North American Rescue?

North American Rescue (NAR) makes trauma and casualty-care products for the military, federal agencies, law enforcement, EMS and civilian responders. Its products are designed and tested around the military's Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines. Its staff includes former Special Operations medics, experienced law enforcement, SWAT and EMS providers, and former senior military medical officers.

Is Mountain Ready an authorized North American Rescue dealer?

Yes. We buy directly from North American Rescue, so every C-A-T, dressing and kit here is genuine NAR product. Counterfeit tourniquets are common online, so buy from an authorized dealer.

Why don't I see every NAR product?

Some NAR items and kit levels are sold only to licensed medical professionals, who need an NPI number to order them. We carry NAR's public-access range: every product and kit level on this page can be bought without a license.

Which tourniquet should I buy?

Start with the C-A-T Gen 7 in Black or Orange. It's the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army and is designed for one-handed self-application. Trainer Blue is a practice tourniquet: use it for training so your real one stays sealed and ready. To carry the tourniquet on a belt, choose the version with a Rigid Case.

What's the difference between an IFAK and a bleeding control kit?

A bleeding control kit is a sealed, single-purpose kit: usually a tourniquet, hemostatic or compressed gauze, a pressure dressing and gloves. It's built so an untrained bystander can follow the pictures. An IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) is a wearable pouch with more trauma supplies, organized for fast access on a belt, vest or pack. For home and vehicles, a larger kit such as the RED Kit or Patrol Vehicle Trauma Kit covers both serious bleeding and everyday injuries.

What do Basic, Combat Gauze and Celox mean on kit options?

Many NAR kits come in levels. Basic uses standard gauze and dressings. With Combat Gauze (QuikClot) or with Celox Gauze adds hemostatic gauze, which helps blood clot when packed into a wound. With Bleeding Control Dressing adds a QuikClot bleeding control dressing.

Do I need training to use these kits?

Bleeding control kits include illustrated instructions, but hands-on training makes a real difference. A free Stop the Bleed class teaches tourniquet use, wound packing and direct pressure in about an hour. Practice with a trainer tourniquet so your real one stays sealed.

How should I store and check my kit?

Check your kits every few months. Look at expiration dates on hemostatic gauze, chest seals and burn dressings, and make sure the packaging is intact. Avoid storing kits in extreme heat or direct sun, which degrades adhesives. Vehicle kits need checking most often. Replace anything you use, including in training. NAR sells resupply kits for its IFAKs and burn kits.
