What’s the difference between a first aid kit and a trauma kit?
Trauma Kits have fewer items than a First Aid Kit but the items need to be packed in a way that makes them easy to find in an emergency. First Aid Kits are designed to easily carry a variety of products but with no real system designed to simplify use in an emergency.

What does IFAK mean?
Individual First Aid Kit
Today, IFAK is usually understood to mean “Individual First Aid Kit”, or “Improved First Aid Kit”. But long before the acronym “IFAK” came into use, the military was issuing small kits designed to treat or prevent various illnesses and minor injuries.
Does a trauma kit have first aid supplies?
A first aid kit isn’t a trauma kit, though it can have some traumatic care items in it, and a trauma kit isn’t a first aid kit, by our definition. Having a first aid kit is just as essential as having a trauma kit because they both fill very specific roles.
