Description
Most people who buy a trauma kit end up leaving it in the truck or a range bag, which does exactly nothing when someone is bleeding out in front of you. The Micro Trauma Kit NOW! solves that by shrinking a genuinely useful bleeding-control loadout into a pouch about the size of a 6-inch Israeli bandage. It rides comfortably on an everyday pants belt or a 2-inch duty belt, tucks against a plate carrier, or disappears into a pack, so the gear actually goes where you go. This one comes in black with the Essentials fill already loaded.
What Sets the Micro TKN Apart
Blue Force Gear built this as a two-piece system: an outer Ten-Speed elastic pouch and a removable inner insert that keeps everything organized and snug. Pull the BLIP tab on either side and the whole insert slides free with one hand or even a single finger, left or right, which matters when your other arm is busy or injured. The laser-cut medical cross up front comes with a blue insert so it reads as a med kit at a glance, and you can pull that insert for a low-profile, color-matched look when you want to stay discreet. It earned an NRA Golden Bullseye Award for Accessory of the Year, and it shows in the details.
Inside the Essentials Fill
The Essentials loadout is aimed at folks with minimal or no formal medical training, focused squarely on the number one cause of preventable traumatic death: bleeding. You get a QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing (the over-the-counter hemostatic version), an H&H Mini Compression Bandage, a pair of Bear Claw nitrile gloves, flat-fold medical tape, and a mylar hypothermia blanket to help fight the shock that often follows a serious injury. Blue Force Gear recommends carrying your primary tourniquet separately so it stays reachable if you have to work on yourself.
Built Like the Rest of Their Gear
Construction is what you'd expect from BFG: ULTRAcomp laminate, Ten-Speed military-grade elastic, and CORDURA stitched with bonded nylon thread. It weighs next to nothing empty and stays flat enough to sit in a vehicle without digging in. Made in the USA and backed by their limited lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Micro Trauma Kit NOW! come with a tourniquet?
No, a tourniquet is not part of the Essentials fill. Blue Force Gear actually recommends carrying your primary tourniquet separately from the kit so it stays within reach if you have to apply it to yourself. Pair this with a CAT or SOFTT-W and you've got a well-rounded bleeding-control setup.
Will the belt mount version fit my duty belt?
Yes. The belt-mount uses two adjustable hook-and-loop tabs that fit just about any belt, from a regular pants belt up to a 2-inch duty belt. It can also be mounted on MOLLE if you'd rather run it on a carrier or pack.
How do you access the supplies in an emergency?
The kit uses a two-piece design with BLIP pull tabs on both sides. A single pull, with one hand or even one finger, slides the inner insert free from the outer pouch. That ambidextrous access is a big part of why it works well under stress or with limited mobility.
Who is the Essentials fill best suited for?
The Essentials loadout is built for people with minimal or no formal medical training who want to handle serious bleeding and prevent shock. It covers the fundamentals: hemostatic dressing, compression bandage, gloves, tape, and a hypothermia blanket. If you need chest seals or airway tools, look at the PRO or Advanced fills instead.
