Module 1 - K9 Hemorrhage Control Kit

Purpose-built canine hemorrhage control, selected and assembled by a licensed firefighter/paramedic with 23+ years in the field. Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the #1 preventable cause of traumatic death in dogs — Module 1 K9 is built to one standard: stop the bleed before veterinary care arrives, whether you’re in the backcountry, on a hunt, or at a training exercise.

Standalone kit — NOT included in the IFAK360 Complete Kit (M1–M4). Use alone or pair with any IFAK360 module. Not intended for human use.

Validated against K9-TCCC, K9-TECC, Joint Trauma System (JTS) K9 Tactical Medicine CPGs, MARCH hemorrhage control principles (canine-adapted), Veterinary Emergency Trauma Care protocols, Wilderness/SAR K9 Trauma Care, and Stop the Bleed® hemorrhage-control principles.
