IPOK (Individual Patrol Officer’s Kit)

Mentioned several times by Ron Davis of EMS Newbie Podcast, the IPOK (Individual Patrol Officer’s 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 rugged, durable package that is easy to open.

• 2 x Black Talon® Nitrile Trauma Gloves (1 pr.)
• 1 x C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®)

As with all equipment, but especially emergency medical gear, we strongly suggest getting proper instruction and training before using the IPOK (Individual Patrol Officer’s Kit).
