Field Blood Transfusion Kit - FBTK - Complete

Immediate Field Transfusion Capability

The Field Blood Transfusion Kit - FBTK - Complete is built to enable rapid, controlled blood transfusion at the point of injury, offering lifesaving support when transport is delayed. Optimized for use by combat medics, pre hospital clinicians, flight medics, and prolonged care teams, the kit addresses severe hemorrhage and hypovolemia in austere settings. Everything needed to establish a direct transfusion flow is organized for quick access, reducing hands off time and simplifying the sequence of verification, connection, and transfusion. Compact packing and a lightweight profile keep this system deployable in casualty packs, vehicle medical caches, and forward aid stations, so trained personnel can restore circulating volume quickly, under pressure, with confidence.

Verification Driven Design and Technology

The kit integrates donor recipient modules to confirm blood type compatibility prior to transfusion, supporting safe decision making in the field. It also provides a means to collect donor blood samples for surveillance testing, without delaying care. Components and layout follow Joint Theater Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines, so procedures align with current transfusion protocols. At L 20 in. x W 13 in., and weighing 1.42 lbs, the system balances capacity with portability. Intuitive packaging groups verification tools and tubing access points to speed setup, while clear labeling reduces error risk during high stress scenarios, improving the odds of a successful, timely transfusion.

Rugged Construction for Harsh Environments

Designed for use where conditions are unpredictable, the kit is housed in a durable case that resists moisture and abrasion, keeping sterile items protected until use. Internal compartments secure instruments and verification modules, preventing movement during transport and ensuring components remain accessible. Materials were selected to withstand repeated handling, making the kit suitable for operational tempos common to military and EMS deployments. Packaging allows rapid decontamination of the exterior, supporting infection control between uses. Quality control focuses on consistency and reliability so teams can count on the system to perform in forward aid posts, ambulances, aircraft, and other demanding settings.

Multi Scenario Use Across Care Continuum

The FBTK supports a wide range of clinical scenarios, from point of injury transfusions in combat zones to prolonged care situations where evacuation is delayed. It is suitable for tactical medical teams, civilian EMS responding to mass casualty incidents, hospital rapid response teams conducting interfacility transfers, and austere clinic environments that require immediate volume resuscitation. The ability to verify donor and recipient types makes it practical for ad hoc donor situations during mass casualty events. This versatility ensures that a single, compact kit can bridge the gap between initial hemorrhage control and definitive care when time and resources are limited.
