Product Overview
Law enforcement officers increasingly operate in environments where penetrating trauma — gunshots, stabbings, blast fragments — requires immediate self-aid or buddy-aid before EMS arrival. The CORE Kit addresses this reality with the simplest, most evidence-backed configuration possible: the #1 CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet, the #1 CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic dressing, and an effective pressure bandage — all in a package small enough to fit in a BDU pocket, uniform vest, plate carrier, or go-bag.
The C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®) has been validated through millions of military and law enforcement applications as the most effective and reliable windlass tourniquet for extremity hemorrhage. Combat Gauze® LE uses kaolin to activate the body's natural clotting cascade for rapid hemorrhage control in wounds not amenable to tourniquet application. The 4 in. flat ETD provides a versatile pressure dressing for wounds across the body.
With sterile component shelf life up to 5 years and vacuum-sealed packaging that prevents damage during everyday carry, the CORE Kit is designed to be on the officer's person at all times — because the golden hour starts the moment injury occurs, not when EMS arrives.
