The Core 4 (Complete Trauma/Medical Kit)

The Core 4 is four purpose-built modules, selected and assembled by a firefighter/paramedic with 23 years in the field. Not a curated list of popular items. Not a bag stuffed with whatever fits. A system organized around a logical sequence of care: stop the bleeding, clean the wound, close it, then manage what comes after.

The Core 4 brings all four functions together in one organized system.

Save $29.97 compared with purchasing all four modules separately.

Why The Core 4?

4 PURPOSE-BUILT MODULES
Hemorrhage Control → Wound Prep → Wound Closure → Medication & Hydration

PARAMEDIC-BUILT
Selected and assembled by a firefighter/paramedic with more than two decades of prehospital experience.

KNOW WHAT TO GRAB
Color-coded modules organize supplies by function, so there's no digging through one oversized bag.

INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED
Every module includes a paramedic-written Instructions for Use card as a reference for the supplies inside.

Module Sizes & Bag Selection

The Core 4 includes four individually packaged modules. Dimensions are length × width × thickness:

• M1, Hemorrhage Control: 11" × 7" × 3"
• M2, Irrigation & Wound Prep: 7" × 7" × 3"
• M3, Wound Closure & Minor Trauma: 7.5" × 7" × 3"
• M4, Medication & Hydration: 6.5" × 7" × 2"

Together, the modules represent approximately 10.3 liters of rectangular packing volume. A 15L or larger bag is a starting point, but fit depends on its usable interior dimensions, opening, and how the modules are arranged.

When choosing a carry bag, check its usable interior dimensions and zipper opening, not just its liter rating. Allow extra room for dividers and additional gear. Carry bags are sold separately.

Built to Open Fast or Built to Last

Module 1 uses a non-resealable vacuum-sealed pouch by design. When seconds count, you rip the top off and go. No zipper. No hesitation. Modules 2, 3, and 4 use heavy-duty resealable chamber pouches. Open what you need, zip it closed, and it's ready for the next day.

Every module ships with its own IFU card sealed inside. Clear, sequential guidance written for civilians with no medical background. When stress is high and time is short, the instructions are right where they need to be.
