Mentioned several times by Ron Davis of EMS Newbie Podcast, the IPOK (Individual Patrol Officers Kit) is a kit for dealing with emergency medical situations that involve blood loss.

The Individual Patrol Officer Kit (IPOK) from North American Rescue is designed to provide personnel with a compact and durable individual hemorrhage control kit to treat bleeding from penetrating and other traumatic injuries. These kits are packaged for small cube space and designed to fit into a BDU pocket, vest pouch or individual bag, which allows personnel to keep a compact bleeding control kit on their person, where it is needed most. The contents are vacuum sealed in a durable package that is easy to open.

Kit Contents:

  • 2 x Black Talon® Nitrile Trauma Gloves (1 pr.)
  • 1 x C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®)
  • 1 x S-Rolled GauzeTM
  • 1 x ETDTM 4 in. Emergency Trauma Dressing

Specs:

  • Packaged: H 4 in. x W 6.5 in. x D 2.75 in.

As with all equipment, but especially emergency medical gear, we strongly suggest getting proper instruction and training before using the IPOK.
