When Jez first started designing TacMed trauma kits, he wanted them to survive everything. From the beach bag to the back of a ute or the backyard workshop. Dust, rain, humidity, heat – all the things that can compromise your medical gear fast.

So, we started vacuum sealing them.

Every vac-sealed kit we make is protected against the elements, built for extended shelf life, and keeps your gear ready to respond when you tear open the pack.

Do you carry one of our vac sealed kits? If so, let us know in the comments where you keep it 👇

These tourniquet mistakes still show up in real emergencies (and they cost precious time).

1. Commercial tourniquets come sealed for transit, but that packaging isn’t meant to stay on. If your TQ is still wrapped when you reach for it, you’re already behind. Stage it so it’s ready to deploy quickly.
2. There’s a lot of conflicting advice online about tourniquet placement. Always follow the instructions from your tourniquet’s manufacturer.
3. If the bleed is arterial, on a limb and amenable to a tourniquet—don’t wait. Get the tourniquet on quickly!
4. Leather belts are too rigid to use with a windlass, and improvised tourniquets without a windlass are unlikely to generate enough pressure to occlude arterial bleeding.
5. Counterfeit tourniquets are unreliable and they put your patient at serious risk.

A commercial tourniquet, staged properly and applied confidently, saves lives. You can find the tourniquets we trust and recommend here:

For life-threatening wounds on a limb, we know that getting a tourniquet on quickly is critical. But what about when the wound is in a junctional area where tourniquets are not amenable? This is where wound packing becomes an essential life-saving skill in your trauma care toolkit.

If you want to learn more about wound packing - we have a comprehensive guide over in the TacMed Learning Centre. Find it here:

Stay safe, TacMed Nation!

Healthcare providers have long faced a fundamental challenge when treating tension pneumothorax - how to objectively confirm a successful needle placement, especially in chaotic, noisy emergency environments.

Listening for a “rush of air” in a real world scene (sirens and traffic and high-stress scenes) makes it almost impossible to hear.

That's why the Pneumeric Capnospot is a game-changer.

It provides clear, visual confirmation of successful needle placement. No guesswork, no waiting for secondary signs. When it changes colour from blue to yellow, you know you’re in.

The Pocket BVM is trusted by professional first responders worldwide. It gives you full-size resuscitation capability but takes up 75% less valuable space in your kit.

It's compact, reliable, and intuitive to use and we believe it's a game-changing airway management solution, especially for those who work in challenging environments.

As Troy T put it: "Great product, I bought two — one for my trauma kit and one for the extended care kit. They've freed up so much real estate compared to the old ones. Should have done it ages ago. Do yourself a favour and get one… or six!"

The days are getting warm but, remember, summer doesn't mean hypothermia isn't a risk! Even on warm days, your patients can lose body heat fast.

Here's 3 reasons why you should pack a thermal emergency blanket in every trauma kit:

1. Shock from blood loss – Major trauma shuts down the body's ability to regulate temperature. A thermal blanket prevents further heat loss while you manage the bleeding.
2. Near-drowning incidents – Even in warm weather, extended exposure to water can rapidly drop core body temperature. Wrapping your patient will help stabilise them until you get them to hospital.
3. Sun exposure or long extrications – If you’re treating a casualty outdoors, you can use a thermal blanket to create shade or protect them from direct sunlight.

With 7 of the world's 10 most venomous snakes calling Australia home, knowing how to respond to a snake bite can make a real difference to patient outcome.

The Pressure Immobilisation Technique works by slowing the flow of lymph (the pathway venom uses to enter the bloodstream). By applying a firm pressure bandage and immobilising the limb, you're slowing the spread of venom and buying critical time until the patient reaches definitive care.

The Premium Snake Bite Bandage from Aero has rectangular indicators that turn to squares when correct compression is achieved, taking the guesswork out of your technique. You can find it on our website either individually or part of our TacMed Snake Bite Kit, which has everything you need in a handy vacuum sealed kit for less than 20 bucks.

Spring is snake season. Make sure you're prepared with the right kit and the right knowledge.
