A duty-grade windlass tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, compressed gauze, a pair of vented chest seals, EMT shears, nitrile gloves and a permanent marker, packed in a MOLLE pouch with a rip-away mount.
How it compares
The OHFAK is a bleeding control kit, not a general first aid kit; pair it with a boo-boo kit such as the Elite Mini First Aid Kit or a MyMedic MyFAK for everyday cuts. It is in the same class as the MyMedic TFAK and AMK MOLLE Trauma kits; step up to the Emerge Emergency Med Kit if you want trauma gear plus full wound care and medications in one bag.
Questions people ask
What is an OHFAK?
OHFAK stands for On-Hand First Aid Kit. It is a compact trauma kit meant to stay on your person or within reach, focused on stopping severe bleeding.
Does the OHFAK include a tourniquet?
Yes, a duty-grade windlass tourniquet, plus hemostatic gauze and compressed gauze. A Stop the Bleed course or similar training is recommended so you can apply them correctly under stress.
What are the chest seals for?
Vented chest seals are used to cover penetrating wounds to the chest, such as a gunshot or stab wound, until professional care arrives. Training is recommended.
Can I mount it in my car?
Yes. The 600D polyester pouch is MOLLE-compatible with a rip-away mount, so it can attach to seat backs, headrests, packs or belts and pull free quickly.
