Ankle IFAK/Cargo Cuff

Description

The Ankle IFAK/Cargo Cuff is based on the wraparound band of our Renegade Ankle Holster. It expands your on-body carrying capacity for medical or EDC gear to a new level.

One of the most commonly overlooked categories of Every Day Carry gear is emergency medical supplies. You carry a handgun, reload, knife, light, multitool, and various other items, few of which will do much to keep all ten pints of blood right where it needs to stay. The inconvenience usually stems from the size and bulk of proper medical gear. Enter the Ankle IFAK. We designed it to carry a tourniquet (flat-folded SOFTT-W, CAT, SWAT-T, etc.), clotting agent, trauma bandage, nitrile gloves, folded chest seals, flat-folded medical or duct tape, and more — all in a comfortable and durable heavy-duty elastic webbing cuff. With 6 storage cells, you can increase your level of emergency self-reliance without awkwardly stuffing your pockets full.

Low-Profile Cargo Cuff Use

During travel abroad, relocating high-value items from the places they’re normally expected, pickpockets, thieves, and other extortionists are thwarted. If the occasion requires formal dress, jingling pockets full of gear is a no-go, but rapid access is still necessary. In today’s more security-conscious climate, while cursory searches and inspections regularly restrict access while possessing EDC gear, ankles are an often overlooked area of a search.

Made of our XHD elastic webbing, the Ankle IFAK/Cargo Cuff has 5 main storage cells and a 6th compact slip-pocket. Available in 4″ or 5″ band height (5″ shown). Designed with a wide range of adjustment, one size will comfortably fit nearly everyone. An additional field of loop material is stitched to the interior surface to create comfortable friction to keep the cuff in position. An optional pair of high-security retention straps with hook-and-loop closures are available as an option.

Ankle IFAK Supplies and Use

Our Ankle IFAK comes empty so you may choose the supplies to carry based on your own circumstances, needs, experiences, and training. We do offer our Ankle IFAK Trauma Kit Refill if you would like a pre-made trauma kit that is optimized to fit comfortably in our Ankle IFAK and contains only reliable, proven contents from top-quality manuafacturers. Availability and contents list may vary with availability and new product advances.

The Ankle IFAK/Cargo Cuff will fit a complete variety of trauma supplies, including:

• Tourniquet (compatible with CAT, SOFTT-W, and similar). We strongly recommend products approved by the CoTCCC (Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care)
• Compressed gauze, preferably hemostatic and compact (CELOX RAPID Ribbon, QuickClot Combat Gauze, etc.)
• 4″ pressure dressing/bandage (Israeli, Olaes, H&H, etc. will fit, but compact versions like the H&H H&H Mini Compression Bandage are recommended)
• Compact chest seal (HyFin Vent Compact, Fox, H&H Compact Wound Seal, etc.; may require folding, which is safe with current seals)
• Flat-packed or small roll of medical or duct tape (H&H Flat Fold Duct Tape)
• 1 pair nitrile gloves (recommend NAR Bear Claw gloves in large; very tough and buying oversize makes them less likely to tear under stress)
• Small or folding medical shears like Leatherman Raptor Shears, or strap/clothing cutter like the Benchmade #7, #8 Hook, or SOCP Rescue Tool.
