Description
When seconds count, fumbling with zippers is the last thing you want. The Micro Trauma Kit NOW! is Blue Force Gear's smallest trauma pouch, purpose-built so you can carry real bleeding-control gear every single day without it feeling like a brick on your rig. Pull the BLIP tab from the left or right side, even with a single finger, and the entire insert deploys in one motion. That ambidextrous design is a big deal when the person reaching for it might be injured, panicked, or working with their off hand.
What Makes the Micro TKN Different
The kit is built from two parts: an outer MOLLE-mounted pouch using Blue Force Gear's Ten-Speed elastic and Helium Whisper laser-cut webbing, plus a removable inner insert that keeps everything organized and ready to grab. The whole thing is made from ULTRAcomp high-performance laminate and 500D CORDURA, so it shrugs off abrasion and years of daily wear. Empty, the pouch runs around 6 by 3.5 by 2.5 inches and weighs next to nothing, which is exactly why it stays on your belt or plate carrier instead of getting left behind in a truck.
Inside the Micro Trauma Kit Essentials Fill
The Essentials fill level targets the number one cause of preventable trauma death: bleeding. You get a rolled pair of Bear Claw nitrile trauma gloves, a QuikClot bleeding control dressing, an H&H mini compression dressing, flat fold tape, and a Mylar hypothermia blanket. It's aimed at folks with minimal or no formal medical training, covering bleeding control and hypothermia prevention without loading you down with drugstore filler. A smart move is to pair it with a tourniquet carried separately, since you want that within reach if you ever have to work on yourself.
Carry It Your Way
The front cross panel takes swappable signal inserts. Run the reflective indicator so responders spot it fast, drop in a low-vis insert, or pull them all out for a fully pattern-matched front when you want to keep things discreet. Made in the USA and Berry compliant, this is gear built to the same standard the professionals trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open the Micro Trauma Kit NOW! with one hand?
Yes, and that's one of its best features. The BLIP pull tabs sit on both sides of the pouch, so you can deploy the entire insert with one hand or even a single finger from the left or right. That ambidextrous setup matters when you're stressed, injured, or working with your non-dominant hand.
What comes in the Essentials fill level?
The Essentials fill includes a rolled pair of nitrile trauma gloves, a QuikClot bleeding control dressing, a mini compression dressing, flat fold tape, and a Mylar hypothermia blanket. It's built around stopping bleeding and preventing hypothermia, which are the top priorities in trauma care. It's a solid fit for anyone with minimal or no formal medical training.
Does this version mount to a plate carrier or just a belt?
This is the MOLLE version, which uses Blue Force Gear's Helium Whisper laser-cut tuck strap webbing to attach to plate carriers, packs, battle belts, and other MOLLE-compatible surfaces. If you plan to run it on a standard non-MOLLE pants or duty belt, the dedicated Belt Mount version is the better pick.
Should I add a tourniquet to the Micro TKN?
It's a smart idea. The Essentials fill covers wound packing and compression but does not include a tourniquet, and Blue Force Gear recommends carrying one separately so it stays within reach if you ever have to treat yourself. Pairing the kit with a quality tourniquet gives you a complete answer to life-threatening extremity bleeding.
