6:8 Medical Solutions · Compact Bleeding Control Ready Wrap™ Micro Bleeder Kit Three hemorrhage-control components in a low-profile multi-use carrier small enough to live on a belt, in a pack, or on a MOLLE panel — pack the wound, hold pressure, secure the dressing. What is the Ready Wrap™ Micro Bleeder Kit? A compact wound-packing and compression kit built around the Ready Wrap™ GRIP8™ elastomer compression wrap, Ready Gauze™ compressed S-fold gauze, and a mini trauma bandage, carried in a reusable 4″ × 6″ × 3″ multi-use pouch. It equips the wound-packing and compression phase of massive hemorrhage control. It contains no tourniquet and is intended to be carried alongside a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet, not in place of one. Key Specifications Manufacturer 6:8 Medical Solutions SKU MBK-MC (MultiCam) | MBK-BLK (Black) | MBK-ODG (Olive Drab Green) Carrier Dimensions 4″ W × 6″ L × 3″ H (approx. 72 cu in) Kit Weight 16 oz complete Mounting Belt, pack, or MOLLE-compatible platform Colors Available MultiCam®, Black, Olive Drab Green Tourniquet Included No — carry a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet separately Hemostatic Agent No — Ready Gauze™ is plain compressed gauze Medical Components Single-patient use; carrier is reusable and restockable Regulatory Manufacturer states FDA and CE compliant components What It Is Most compact bleeding control kits solve for the tourniquet and stop there. That leaves the wounds a tourniquet cannot address — junctional bleeding at the groin, axilla, and neck, and torso wounds where no circumferential device can be applied. Those wounds are controlled by packing gauze directly into the wound tract and holding sustained pressure over it. The Micro Bleeder Kit is built for that job specifically. The Ready Wrap™ uses GRIP8™ high-stretch, non-adhesive elastomer that grips against itself rather than the skin, so it can be applied over clothing, in wet conditions, or with gloved hands and still hold tension. Unlike an adhesive wrap, it can be unwound and reapplied without losing function if the first wrap is misplaced under stress. Ready Gauze™ is compressed into an S-fold with Surgrip™ packaging so it feeds cleanly into a wound tract without unspooling into a pile. The mini trauma bandage covers the smaller-wound case that does not justify committing the full gauze roll. The whole assembly weighs 16 oz and occupies roughly 72 cubic inches — small enough to ride on a duty belt opposite a tourniquet carrier, in a range bag, or inside a vehicle console. The carrier is reusable, so the kit is restockable after use or expiry rather than disposable. Operating notes. Pack gauze aggressively into the wound tract to the depth of the bleeding vessel — superficial packing does not control deep arterial bleeding. Maintain direct manual pressure for a minimum of three minutes before wrapping. Apply the Ready Wrap™ under tension over the packed wound to sustain compression once your hands come off. Reassess distal circulation and re-check the wound after movement or patient transfer. For life-threatening extremity hemorrhage, a limb tourniquet remains the first-line intervention — packing is not a substitute. This summary is not a substitute for accredited training or local protocol. Where It Fits This is a supplement, not a replacement for a full Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK). It carries no tourniquet, no chest seal, no airway adjunct, no shears, no gloves, and no thermal component. Use it as an everyday-carry bleeding control option, as a secondary kit paired with a tourniquet carrier, or as a resupply layer inside a larger trauma bag. Pair it with a CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet such as the C-A-T Gen 7 or the Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet (TMT). Restock the consumables with standalone Ready Wrap™ and Ready Gauze™, or step up to a complete IFAK. When to Choose This Kit Everyday carry where a full IFAK will not be carried consistently — at 16 oz and 72 cubic inches, this is the kit that actually stays on the belt instead of in the truck. Second-line pairing with a tourniquet already carried: adds junctional and torso wound-packing capability that a tourniquet carrier alone cannot provide. Workplace, school, and public-venue bleeding control programs needing a restockable, reusable carrier rather than a sealed disposable package. Uniform-matched agency deployment: MultiCam®, Black, and Olive Drab Green cover most duty and field loadouts. vs. The Alternatives vs. a tourniquet-only pouch: A tourniquet carrier solves compressible extremity hemorrhage and nothing else. This kit solves the packing-and-compression case a tourniquet cannot reach. They are complements, not substitutes — carry both. vs. a full IFAK: A complete IFAK adds airway, chest seal, thermal, and tourniquet capability at several times the volume and weight. This kit trades that breadth for a footprint that gets carried daily. vs. vacuum-sealed disposable bleeding control kits: Sealed kits protect contents and guarantee sterility until opened, but must be replaced entirely after any use or expiry. The reusable carrier here is restockable component by component — lower lifecycle cost for programs cycling training stock. vs. hemostatic gauze kits: Ready Gauze™ is plain compressed gauze with no hemostatic agent. Plain gauze correctly packed and held under sustained pressure is effective for most wound packing; hemostatic gauze is the escalation for high-flow junctional bleeding or anticoagulated patients. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the Micro Bleeder Kit include a tourniquet? A: No. This kit equips the wound-packing and compression phase only. For life-threatening extremity hemorrhage, a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet is the first-line intervention and should be carried alongside this kit. Treat the Micro Bleeder Kit as the capability that begins where the tourniquet ends — junctional and torso wounds where no circumferential device can be applied. Q: Is Ready Gauze™ a hemostatic gauze? A: No. Ready Gauze™ is plain sterile compressed gauze with no hemostatic agent. Correctly packed plain gauze combined with sustained direct pressure controls the majority of packable wounds. Hemostatic gauze is an escalation option for high-flow junctional hemorrhage or patients on anticoagulants, and can be substituted into this carrier if your protocol calls for it. Q: What is GRIP8™ and why does it matter for a compression wrap? A: GRIP8™ is a high-stretch, non-adhesive elastomer that grips against itself rather than bonding to skin, hair, or clothing. Because retention comes from self-adhesion under tension, the wrap can be applied over a uniform, in wet or cold conditions, or with gloved hands, and can be unwound and reapplied if the first attempt is misplaced — a meaningful advantage under stress, where adhesive wraps that have already contacted skin often cannot be salvaged. Q: Can this kit be mounted to a plate carrier or duty belt? A: Yes. The 4″ × 6″ × 3″ carrier is compatible with belt carry, pack stowage, and MOLLE-webbed platforms including plate carriers, patrol bags, and vehicle panels. Most users carry it opposite an existing tourniquet carrier so both capabilities are reachable with either hand. Q: Is the kit reusable after it has been opened? A: The carrier is reusable and restockable. All medical components inside are single-patient use and must be replaced after any use, after contamination, or at expiry. This makes the kit well suited to training programs that cycle consumables while retaining the carrier. Q: How much training does wound packing require? A: More than most buyers assume. Effective packing means driving gauze to the depth of the bleeding vessel and maintaining firm pressure for at least three minutes — a technique that degrades quickly without practice. Equipment without training is decoration. Complete a recognized bleeding control course and refresh the skill periodically.
