WHAT'S INSIDE

Trauma care and first aid in one kit.

The trauma side carries a CAT tourniquet, QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing, compressed gauze, a Hyfin chest seal pair, a mini compression bandage, nitrile gloves, and mini shears.

The first aid side handles everyday injuries: bandages in every size, butterfly closures, burn dressing and burn gel, sting relief, sunscreen, alcohol swabs, rolled gauze, gauze pads, and surgical tape.

TWO KITS IN ONE

Trauma on one side. First aid on the other.

Life-threatening bleeds and everyday scrapes do not need the same supplies. The Explorer keeps them organized on opposite sides of the pouch, so you reach the right components the moment you open it.

BUILT FOR SPEED

Pull the buckle. Rip it away.

The Velcro panel and retention buckle hold the kit securely to MOLLE gear until you need it: detach the buckle and pull, and the whole kit comes free. The rapid access pull tab opens it just as fast.

MOLLE straps mount it to packs, seat backs, and rigs, and front MOLLE webbing takes extra gear like a flashlight or a second tourniquet. Built in a durable 500D nylon pouch.

D.A.R.K. Explorer FAQ

What comes in the D.A.R.K. Explorer?

The trauma side: a CAT tourniquet, QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing, compressed gauze, a Hyfin chest seal pair, a mini compression bandage, nitrile gloves, and mini shears. The first aid side: bandages in multiple sizes, butterfly closures, burn dressing and burn gel, sting relief wipes, sunscreen, alcohol swabs, rolled gauze, gauze pads, and surgical tape.

Is a tourniquet included?

Yes. Every Explorer ships with the tourniquet you select above: CAT Gen 7 standard, or SOF-T Gen 5.

CAT Gen 7 or SOF-T Gen 5: which should I pick?

Both are proven, widely fielded tourniquets. Pick the one you train with the most.

Why the two-sided layout?

So you never dig through bandages to reach a tourniquet. Trauma supplies for life-threatening injuries live on one side, first aid for minor injuries on the other, and the kit opens flat so both are visible at once.

Where does it mount?

The Velcro MOLLE panel and retention buckle attach it to packs, seat backs, range bags, and rigs, and it rides loose in a vehicle or desk drawer just as well. Front MOLLE webbing takes a flashlight or a second tourniquet.

Is it good for a vehicle kit?

That is exactly what it is built for: vehicles, range bags, and workplaces, where one kit needs to cover everything from a cut finger to a serious bleed.

Can I restock the kit after it is used?

Check the kit once a year and replace anything used or past date. And under our Kit for Life Guarantee, components used to save a life are replaced free: email info@darkangelmedical.com with your story.

Do the contents expire?

Sterile components such as gauze, chest seals, and dressings carry expiration dates printed on their packaging. A yearly check keeps the kit ready.
