We’ve made it easier to kit your gear with a kitted individual first aid kit
IFAK is an acronym for Individual First Aid Kit, it was invented to be a medical trauma kit that was carried around by the military with the intention of being used by others to treat that same person if they were injured or to treat other persons. IFAK kits contain items for haemorrhage control and other trauma treatment.
In the 2003 – 2004 IFAK’s became standard issue across the board for all soldiers, since standardising the IFAK’s the percentage of preventable deaths in combat was significantly reduced from 7.8% to 2.6% in 2011. <1>
