T.REX MED-H Pouch Fill Kit
What’s Included | Specs | Pictures | Restrictions
The T.REX MED-H Pouch is designed specifically to carry the medical items in this fill kit. This kit covers as much of the first three steps of the MARCH algorithm (Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respirations) as possible while maintaining a relatively portable size and weight. The tourniquet, elastic wraps, and hemostatic gauze address Massive hemorrhage needs, the NPA is used to establish a patent Airway, and the chest seals and Needle-D are used for Respirations care. To complete the kit, there are a handful of support items: gloves, combat casualty cards, trauma shears, duct tape, and a Sharpie.

NAR Enhanced ARS for Needle Decompression
- Air pockets or blood in the chest cavity is the second leading cause of potentially preventable combat death. This NAR-patented design improves the probability of success when faced with a tension pneumothorax.
- Rugged packaging protects the needle from damage during transport and deployment.
- Fenestrations show statistically significant improvement in tension relief and prevent distal catheter occlusion when compared to non-fenestrated catheters. In research investigations, fenestrated catheters were almost two times more successful than non-fenestrated catheters.
- Centimeter Markings include contrasting colors for safer placement and “thoracic depth control.”
- The flexible catheter is designed to decrease the incidence of catheter kinking.
- Modified Needle Tip features a bi-bevel, tapered, and “scalpel” sharp tip, improving tissue penetration control and reducing explosive entry into the thoracic cavity.
- Needle Hub has no flash chamber cap, ensuring immediate air release.
- The Catheter Hub is color-coded per ISO Standards for easy gauge size identification.
TERMINOLOGY
- Tension Pneumothorax: This is a condition where air accumulates in the chest cavity, creating pressure and potentially causing a collapsed lung. The Greek words pneumo & pneuma mean “lungs” or “air”. Therefore a pneumothorax is air in the chest cavity outside the lungs (also called the pleural space). In some cases, the pressure of both the lung and the tension pneumothorax can apply pressure to the heart muscle which could be urgent and deadly.
- Hemothorax: Blood in the thorax. The hema/hemo has roots in both Greek and Latin and means “blood.”
- Thoracostomy: The rescuer decompresses the tension pneumothorax by performing a needle thoracostomy or a needle chest decompression.
- Flashback: This is the first bit of blood that comes out due to blood pressure.
- Intercostal: Between the rib bones.
- Midclavicular Line: An imaginary line from the nipple to the mid-point of the clavicle (collarbone).
