IFAK

IFAK pouch (Individual First Aid Kit) is a compact case designed to carry basic medical supplies for an individual—soldier, operator, police officer, or airsoft player. It is built for quick access in case of injury and allows for immediate self-aid or buddy care. Whether you're a professional soldier, a police officer, an airsoft enthusiast, or a reservist, having your own IFAK pouch can be the difference between life and death in a critical situation.

Practical use of the IFAK pouch

In military settings, the IFAK is a standard part of every soldier’s gear. Its contents are tailored to enable bleeding control, treatment of gunshot wounds and burns until advanced medical care is available. In MilSim airsoft games, the IFAK pouch serves as a realistic gear accessory—either for storing game-related items (like "healing" cards), or actual medical supplies for treating real injuries in the field.

Why every soldier (or player) should have their own IFAK

Quick accessibility: In a crisis, seconds count—your IFAK is right there, no need to search for a medic.
Self-aid: Enables use of a tourniquet, pressure gauze, or bandage by yourself.
Standardized contents: Medics know exactly what’s inside and can use it immediately.
Realism and safety in airsoft: Even during gameplay, accidents happen—your IFAK can hold basics like band-aids, disinfectant, gauze, or cold packs.
