First aid medical kits for everyday emergency preparedness.

It should come as no surprise that many of our users are medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, EMT’s, first responders, and search and rescuers (SAR).

Their input and feedback have helped us understand how critical medical training and effective organization are as important as a properly packed parachute. While well-stocked medical kits are often seen, the lack of organization in these medical bags is a common issue. Not having to waste time hunting for lifesaving supplies during an emergency adds critical seconds back to the ticking clock.

At Vanquest, we believe that maintaining critical supplies in an organized, protected, and easily accessible manner is a fundamental part of any medical kit. This focus drives us to keep enhancing the accessibility and comprehensiveness of our medical bag series.

Simple everyday carry medical kits for minor injuries.

Not everyone requires an extensive first aid kit capable of supporting multiple people. However, having a compact kit in a small organizer for simple scrapes and cuts is essential.

Being the smallest of our pocket organizers, PPM-SLIM pouch is a popular starting point for those who just need a basic 'Boo-Boo' kit in their everyday carry. A slightly more comprehensive setup includes larger dressings and common over-the-counter medications, which fit well into one of our larger organizer pouches such as the EDCM-HUSKY or EDCM-HUGE pouches, offering the ideal first step of building and carrying your first aid supplies.

If you travel often, you might want to keep more personally specific supplies and larger format items in an easily identifiable pouch, like our first responder red-colored FTIM 6x9 organizer. Keeping a basic medical kit in your backpack or car ensures you're prepared for minor injuries that may arise.

First Aid Trauma Pack (FATPack) medical pouches for injuries.

Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) used to be something primarily carried by special weapons and tactics (SWAT), search & rescue medics, wildland firefighters, and soldiers entering combat zones. However, we now see the widespread adoption of this essential and life-saving kit by a diverse range of individuals, including cyclists, hikers, hunters, and those enjoying outdoor activities.

With a focus on trauma medical supplies, our First Aid Trauma Pack (FATPack) series pouches offers a compact and organized IFAK solution. With three sizes available for your medical needs, you can easily build a compact range kit with a FATPack 4X6 to keep in your everyday bag, or a first aid kit with a FATPack 5X8 to go onto your hiking backpack, or a family-sized medical kit with a FATPack 7X10 to keep in your vehicle. These pouches have been refined over the years based on extensive feedback from medical professionals, ensuring they can withstand harsh conditions where reliable medical gear is crucial.

Comprehensive multiple-person trauma kits for your family and team.

When a major disaster strikes and overwhelms local emergency management agencies and healthcare systems, these incidents are referred to as Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs). If you have training and anticipate your local emergency medical services may be overwhelmed, you may assemble your own MCI kit to assist others and your group. Simply put, these larger trauma kits are designed to aid multiple people and best kept in a well-known and obvious place at home, workplace, or group settings and events.

Drawing inspiration from the our popular FATPack (First Aid Trauma Pack) pouches, we proudly introduce the FATPack-Pro large medical backpack. These purpose-built bags represent our most comprehensive and versatile medical packs to date, perfect for an MCI kit or group size trauma bag. Once set up your FATPack-Pro can be taken from home, into your vehicle, to your campsite or training event for mobile medical coverage. Developed with emergency medical professionals, these trauma packs offer ample space for gear while staying organized, modular, and highly durable.

The smaller footprint FATPack-Pro small medical backpack makes a perfect size vehicle based medical bag. This size is also popular among the overland and off-road community since it can double as a multi-purpose utensil/toiletry/tool kit in your vehicle during your outdoor adventures.

Tourniquet holder & medical patches: quick access & clear ID for lifesaving supplies.

In an emergency, quick access to lifesaving medical supplies is crucial. Tourniquets have been used to stop major bleeding since the Middle Ages, and with a great selection of these modern lifesavers, you can address a trauma with significant bleeding with prior training. When you apply a tourniquet early, it can save lives, and to do that, you must always have one with you.

Our TQ-1 Tourniquet Holder provides a compact and sturdy solution for most modern medical & combat-approved tourniquets (TQs). This pouch also accommodates a pair of shears, gloves, and a marker. With the ability to mount the TQ-1 Holder to MOLLE surfaces or external attachment points, you can ensure that your tourniquet is always within reach. It's the perfect addition to larger First Aid kits or for those who need to carry additional gear.

To further enhance your medical preparedness, we offer a variety of glow-In-the-dark medical patches that allow you to clearly identify your medical kits. From universally recognized medical crosses to MED patches and blood types,you can now easily distinguish your medical gear from other organizer pouches. This ensures that you can quickly identify the right kit when time is of the essence.
