Blue Force Gear Trauma Kit NOW Medium

The Blue Force Gear Trauma Kit NOW! Medium is a one-hand-deployable MOLLE trauma pouch in service with every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and numerous allied militaries. The TKN!-MEDIUM ships empty — build your own IFAK loadout or configure it for any emergency medical protocol. The inner supply shingle pulls out with a single gloved hand via the BLIP™ pull tab, fast enough to matter when seconds do.

Key Features

• One-hand deployment: Inner shingle deploys by pulling the BLIP™ (Ball Loaded Index Point) tab up and out — operable with gloves in dark, cold, or wet conditions without looking at the pouch.
• Removable inner shingle: Six rows of heavy-duty elastic loops keep medical supplies secure and visible. Center VELCRO® loop field for pill packs or hook-tape items. Large rear pocket fits trauma shears, chest seals, or flat supplies.
• Outer MOLLE pouch with Helium Whisper® attachment: Patented BFG system. Lighter than traditional MOLLE by up to 40%, metal-free, fewer parts to fail, sits closer to the body.
• External tourniquet capability: Top MOLLE fields accept the BFG Tourniquet NOW! Strap or Tourniquet NOW! Pouch. Single MOLLE column also accepts a pistol pouch for a light, multitool, or other device.
• Mounts on a 3×3 MOLLE field — plate carrier, chest rig, battle belt.
• Ships empty — configure with your own supplies or your unit's IFAK protocol.
• Made in USA, Berry Compliant, with BFG's limited lifetime warranty.

Why It Matters in the Field

The TKN!-MEDIUM was originally designed around the Army IFAK contents, which is why the inner shingle dimensions match that loadout. Six rows of elastic loops hold hemostatic gauze, pressure dressings, a hypothermia blanket, compressed gauze, tape, and gloves visible and accessible. The large rear pocket accommodates trauma shears or chest seals flat behind the elastic field. The center VELCRO® strip handles pill packs or smaller items with hook tape.

The outer pouch is slightly tapered — a deliberate design feature that allows the inner shingle to be removed cleanly regardless of how full the kit is loaded. The shingle doesn't jam in a heavily loaded pouch. Pull the BLIP tab and it comes free.

The top of the outer pouch has MOLLE slots for mounting the BFG Tourniquet NOW! Strap directly above the trauma kit — keeping the entire bleeding-control response in one location on the kit. For LE, military, and serious civilian preparedness, that spatial discipline matters under stress.

The Helium Whisper® attachment system mounts on a standard 3×3 MOLLE field and is metal-free, reducing secondary fragmentation risk in environments where that matters.
