MedicPack©

When saving lives, only the best equipment is good enough.

Close protection work brings you together with a wide variety of clients: Some are avid outdoor-fans and practice exotic hobbies, others prefer the comfort of urban surroundings. Depending on their age, your protectees may have health conditions and regularly take medication. Health emergencies can therefore occur anytime, anywhere.

Defending clients against all dangers thus includes preparing yourself for a medical worst case scenario. Even if such scenarios are relatively rare. It will enable you to deal effectively with heart attacks, multiple trauma or strokes, among others.

Content and Functions of the  MedicPack©

The MedicPack© has been developed as an easy-to-carry backpack in order to allow for maximum mobility. Although it has been designed with sturdy, heavy-duty materials all over, its carbon finish makes it look no different than any other high-end piece of luggage and thus allows for a low-profile. Its main compartment is protected with SK1-class soft-ballistic Kevlar; the bottom compartment features SK2-class hard-ballistic Kevlar. When we developed the MedicPack©, we designed it specifically for comfortable wear, especially with a view to long assignments.

Close protection officers can choose to wear the backpack with full or partial equipment modules:

  • Full Version – for car-bound assignments
  • Standard Version – for duty on foot
  • Minimal Version – for concealed carrying under a suit (ankle pack)

The MedicPack©‘s main component is a backpack containing various interior compartments. The equipment inside is separated according to the sequence of patient care. The Stifneck cervical support is placed in a compartment in the outer front. Above the main compartment sits a bag that is removable by zipper.
