Introducing the Direct Action Response Kit (DARK) - the ultimate trauma kit that stands as our #1 best-seller. When it comes to stopping the bleed, the DARK is unrivaled in its effectiveness. Trusted by military, law enforcement, and agencies worldwide, it thrives even in the harshest conditions.
Designed for everyday use, the DARK is a versatile companion that excels in various settings. Whether you're on the road, exploring the great outdoors, or working in schools or offices, this kit has got you covered.
Key Features:
- External Tourniquet for immediate access in critical situations
- Pull handle for lightning-fast deployment when seconds count
- Vacuum-sealed insert to protect your life-saving contents
- Crafted from durable, military-grade nylon for superior strength (Proudly Made in the U.S.A)
- MOLLE Straps for easy attachment to your gear
- Belt loops for both vertical and horizontal mounting options
- External shears for added convenience
The D.A.R.K. Complete Kit includes a specially designed pouch with shear retention straps on both sides and a 1" PVC Medic patch. Alongside trauma shears and the Gen 7 CAT, the kit comprises vacuum-sealed components, such as:
- 1 x Pair of HALO Vented Seals
- 1 x Hemostatic Gauze (QuikClot Combat Gauze Civ, LE, MIL, or ChitoGauze XR Pro)
- 1 x NPA**
- 1 x Emergency Bandage
- 1 x Compressed Gauze
- 1 x Pair of Nitrile Gloves
- 1 x Mylar Blanket
- 1 x Polycarbonate Eye Shield
For civilians, the kit includes all the above-mentioned contents.
The LE/FR level features the same components as the Civilian Standard level but upgrades to the QuikClot Combat Gauze LE hemostatic gauze (12') for added efficacy.
The ChitoGauze XR Pro level includes the same components as the LE version but upgrades to the ChitoGauze XR Pro hemostatic gauze (12').
The MIL-SPEC Version matches the LE version but takes it a step further by including the QuikClot Combat Gauze MIL, TCCC Casualty Documentation Tool, and a ARS Decompression Needle.
All kits offer the option to upgrade to RipShears, a superior alternative to standard trauma shears.
Additionally, you have the choice to substitute the CAT with the highly regarded SOFTT-W tourniquet.
Please note: The MIL version includes the advanced practice medical device, the ARS Decompression Needle, which can only be utilized by appropriately licensed individuals. By purchasing the MIL "level" kit, you affirm that you are a medically licensed individual authorized to obtain this kit.
Dimensions: 3" x 3.5" x 8" | Weight: 17 oz (add 1.5 oz for optional Pouch Insert)
DARK P.I. (Pouch Insert): If you prefer not to have your components vacuum-sealed in a 5 mil poly bag, we offer the option of substituting the pouch insert. The D.A.R.K. P.I. (Pouch Insert) keeps your emergency components within easy reach for quick access. Its robust nylon construction includes elastic bands sewn inside to secure the components, while the red pull handles ensure swift deployment from your D.A.R.K. or D.A.R.K. Slim Pouch. Once deployed, simply unfold the insert, and all your products are readily available for immediate use.
Please note: The original photo showcases the DARK with upgrades such as the TQ Holder and the Rip-away panel, which can be added separately for enhanced functionality.

This kit is packed with all the essentials,and is quite compact. The quality of the bag itself outstanding, and ie made from very tough material. I plan to order another one, just to keep in my truck.

The D.A.R.K. LE/First Responder Kit is great!
I’ve become so so used to having this kit attached to my fire pack, that I had to purchase a second kit that rides in my “go-bag” during the off season. It’s an excellent kit in a small accessible package that I never leave home without. Thanks so much!

Excellent Trauma Kit in a Small Package
My kit arrived within a few days and has all I need to hang on the back of my battle belt. Don't leave home without it!

Good quality. Personal touch with my order
I am not a first responder. Nevertheless, I am impressed with this kit and I am a repeat customer. I think everything in this kit is US-made and it seems to be well thought out. My kit had several upgrades and I believe that this is as good a deal as one would get on materials such as this. As usual, there was a hand written thank you note included. I have no doubt that if I were to need some sort of customer service, I'd be taken care of.

Great product
This is a well put together product with easy and quick opening pouches. I hope I don’t have to review how well the contents work because that would mean either I or someone else was hurt. I do carry it with me in my patrol car. While I was in the army I went through the tactical combat casualty care class so I am used to the items inside. Just hope I don’t need to use them.

Perfect!!!!

Best Product/Best Service
Recently purchased 4 D.A.R.K. Trauma Kits for work. We're on the range A LOT and safety is always of the upmost importance. The D.A.R.K Trauma Kits have everything you need and nothing you don't in a conveniently sized carry case. Perfect for wearing on your person (which you should) or to keep handy in your range bag. The products and services provided by Dark Angel Medical are second to none. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a trauma kit or training.

They have my future business based on my first order!
While I did expect a great product based on the numerous reviews on this site (and others), I was surprised with how fast it arrived. Approximately 72 hours later I open the box to a well put together kit, with the added class of a hand written "thank you" on the receipt. I sold on Dark Angel!
