BUILT FOR SPEED

Pull the buckle. Kit in hand.

HEDR FAQ

What comes in the HEDR?

Hemostatic gauze, a pair of Hyfin vented chest seals, a mini compression bandage, compressed gauze, a polycarbonate eye shield, a mylar blanket, nitrile gloves, shears, and your choice of tourniquet.

What is the difference between Civilian and LE/FR?

The Civilian level includes QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing. The LE/FR level upgrades the hemostatic to QuikClot Combat Gauze LE for law enforcement and first responders.

Which tourniquet should I pick?

Every HEDR includes the tourniquet you select above: CAT Gen 7 or SOF-T Gen 5. Both are proven, widely fielded platforms. Pick the one you train with the most.

How does it attach to the headrest?

Attach the one-wrap to your headrest, secure the kit to it with the hook and loop backing, and cinch the retention straps. No tools, no permanent modification, and it comes back off just as cleanly.

Will it stay put off-road?

Yes. The retention straps exist for exactly that: they keep the kit stable on bumpy roads and off-road trails, while the quick-release buckle still frees it in one pull.

What colors does it come in?

Black, Wolf Grey, or Coyote Brown, so it can blend with your interior or stand out for fast identification.

Can I restock the kit after it is used?

A HEDR refill insert is available so you can restock the full medical loadout without replacing the pouch. 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, dressings, and chest seals carry expiration dates printed on their packaging. A yearly check keeps the kit ready.
