Once you have training, you need a little bit of basic gear. It needs to be on your body and you must be able to access it.  The Micro TKN is constructed to be worn horizontally and is less bulky than the typical pouch, which makes it ideal for everyday carry by law enforcement professionals, low-profile mission sets and prepared civilians.

Using the Micro TKN, deployment of critical first aid supplies can be done with one hand or a single finger from either the left or right side by pulling the BLIP featured pull tabs.  The Micro TKN consists of two main components – the outer MOLLE or Belt mounted pouch utilizing the Ten-Speed technology, and a removable insert that keeps medical supplies organized.

 

This Trauma Kit was designed around a specific medical supply load out specifically designed for small form, low bulk applications.  This is everything you need with nothing extra. That is how they make it so small.

The Micro TKNTM has two main components: the outer MOLLE or belt-mounted pouch using the Ten-Speed technology; and a removable insert to keep medical supplies organized. Blue Force Gear highly recommend purchasing the “filled” kit to get the greatest protection and usability.  The “filled” version contains:

ADVANCED KIT SUPPLIES

1) QuickClot Combat Gauze
2) HyFin Vent Chest Seal (2 seals included)
3) Cleer Medical Trauma Bandage 4” Flat Pack
4) Decompression needle
5) Six 2” x9” Frog Tape
6) Size 28 Nasopharyngeal Airway
7) Heavy Duty Medical Gloves in tan (1 pair)

BASIC KIT SUPPLIES

1) Hemostatic dressing for wound packing/clotting (1 included)
2) 4″ Emergency Trauma Dressing (1 included)
3) 9″ Medical Grade Easy Tape (6 included)
4) Tourni-Kwik Compression Tourniquet (1 included)
5) Heavey Duty Medical Gloves (1 pair of large sized gloves)

The front outer pouch features a laser cut cross with several signal indicators – black insert, red, or highly reflective glow-in-the-dark insert.  The end user can decide which indicator works best for their use or leave all the inserts out for a pattern matched front for maximum stealth.

 

 

 

The Micro TKN Belt Pouch is available in two attachment / wear methods.  The “Belt Pouch” version features two adjustable hook and loop tabs that can fit on almost any belts – from every day pants belts to 2″ duty belts.  The Belt Pouch version can also be mounted on MOLLE. This version can be found here.

You can get your very own Micro TKN from Blue Force Gear
