Mass Casualty Trauma Kit
How to Build an Active Shooter Trauma Kit for Your Facility
In a mass casualty event, the injured won’t be in one place. Neither should your trauma gear. The Mass Casualty Trauma Kit is a self-contained pouch stocked to treat 2–6 critically injured people — built so you can stage several around your building and hand one to every trained responder.
$309.99 per kit · Black or Red bag
- Bleeding, chest-wound, and airway control — no band-aid filler

- Pairs with our free Emergency Trauma Response course
#1 preventable cause
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after traumatic injury.
Minutes, not hours
Severe bleeding can become fatal within minutes — often before EMS can safely reach victims.
Bystanders act first
The people already in the room are the ones who can apply a tourniquet before help arrives.

The strategy
Distributed Kits Beat One Big Bag
Most facilities buy a single large trauma backpack. It looks prepared — until casualties are spread across a sanctuary, a lobby, and a parking lot.
One large bag
- All supplies sit in one location
- Trained responders converge on the bag, not the victims
- One person carrying it can only treat one area
- If that area is unsafe, the whole kit is out of reach
Several self-contained kits
- Each pouch can treat 2–6 critical casualties on its own
- Multiple responders move to multiple victims at once
- Stage at a security desk, spread through the building, or carry several in a larger bag
- Easy to add coverage as your occupancy grows

What's not inside — on purpose
Every Dollar Goes Toward Keeping Someone Alive
Your building already has phones, and paramedics are typically minutes away. You won’t need to splint fractures or move patients — you need to keep critically injured people alive until EMS gets there.
So we left out everything that doesn’t do that job. If you also want everyday first aid on hand, stock it separately so responders aren’t digging past band-aids to find a tourniquet.
- Band-aids
- Burn cream
- Pain relievers
- Splints
- Immobilization gear
- Filler & fluff

A Kit Is Only as Good as the Hands Using It

Maintenance
Know When to Refresh
We recommend refreshing each kit every 5 years. The tourniquets and NPAs are rated longer, but the chest seals, hemostatic gauze, and gloves set the clock. Inspect kits on a regular schedule and replace anything opened, damaged, or used.
Individual components are sold on their own, so you can restock a used kit without buying a new one.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Mass Casualty Trauma Kits does my building need?
Base it on peak occupancy: 1 kit for 20–50 people, 2 for 51–100, 4 for 101–200, 6 for 201–300, and 1 more for each additional 100 people. Use the calculator above for a quick count.
Why several small kits instead of one large trauma bag?
In a mass casualty event, victims are often spread across rooms, floors, or buildings. Several self-contained kits let multiple trained responders treat multiple victims at the same time instead of all converging on one bag.
Where should we store the kits?
It depends on your layout and security plan. Common options are staging them together at a security desk, placing them at strategic points throughout the facility, or carrying several in a larger bag with your security team.
Does our team need training to use the kit?
Tourniquets and pressure bandages can be used with brief instruction, but we strongly recommend everyone responsible for the kits complete our free Emergency Trauma Response course. Some components, like nasopharyngeal airways, should only be used by trained responders.
How long do the supplies last?
We recommend refreshing each kit every 5 years, set by the shelf life of the chest seals, hemostatic gauze, and gloves. Replace any component that has been opened, used, or damaged.
Can we order for an organization or with a purchase order?
Yes. For larger orders or purchase orders, call or text 720-807-2181 (M–F, 7am–4pm Mountain) or email support@mountainmanmedical.com.
