Stop the Bleed. Be Ready to Act.
The NAR® Bleeding Control Kit — STB puts professional-grade bleeding control within arm’s reach—so an everyday bystander can take action in the minutes that matter most, before EMS arrives. Severe bleeding can become life-threatening fast. This compact kit is built to help close that gap with the same C-A-T® tourniquet and QuikClot® hemostatic dressing technology trusted by the U.S. military and recommended by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma.
What It Is (and What It Isn’t)
This is a focused bleeding control kit—not a boo-boo kit. It’s purpose-built for major hemorrhage: tourniquet application, wound packing with hemostatic gauze, and direct pressure with a trauma dressing. It is not a general first aid kit for cuts, scrapes, headaches, or stomach issues. If you want trauma capability that’s ready when an accident, workplace incident, or roadside emergency happens, this is it.
Why It Belongs Wherever You Are
Most preventable trauma deaths come from uncontrolled bleeding, and they can happen anywhere—on the road, at work, on the job site, or in public. The STB kit is sealed in a ruggedized, vacuum-packed pouch that stows easily in a glovebox, desk drawer, range bag, or backpack and stays protected until the moment you need it. Illustrated “Just in Time” instructions give a clear visual reference under stress.

Common Questions
- “Is it the real thing?” Yes—genuine C-A-T® and QuikClot® components from North American Rescue, not off-brand substitutes.
- “I’m not trained.” The kit includes illustrated instructions, and we encourage Stop the Bleed®-style training. Skills make the gear work.
- “Will it fit where I need it?” The vacuum-sealed pouch is compact—roughly 7 × 5 × 2.5 in and about 8 oz—so it travels almost anywhere.
Who It’s For
Prepared families, commuters, teachers, coaches, range members, off-duty professionals, and CERT/SRO and community responders—anyone who wants to be ready to help in the first minutes of a bleeding emergency.
