Everything you need to know about Beacon kits, restocks, standards, and support.
Why did you launch Beacon?
Just like you, we got tired of the low-quality first aid kits generally available at big box stores. They are filled with dysfunctional items that fail when needed the most. Because of this, we launched Beacon.
We feel strongly that every household should have a medical kit filled with hospital-grade materials that is up to the task when disaster strikes — and we have created just the kit for you.
What makes Beacon different from other first aid kits?
Beacon kits are built by a board-certified surgeon and first responder using the same professional-grade supplies trusted by paramedics and emergency professionals. Our color-coded pouch system, intuitive organization, and rugged hard-shell cases are designed for speed under stress — not just shelf appeal.
We don't just sell supplies. We empower individuals, families, and businesses to stay calm, stay capable, and stay alive.
What is the Beacon Kit?
The Beacon Kit is the cornerstone of our product line — engineered for versatility, durability, and clarity in any situation. Thoughtfully organized with color-coded pouches and intuitive lid storage, it is designed for effortless access when every second counts.
- Green Bandage Pouch: Bandages in a variety of sizes, burn dressings, sterilization products, Steri-Strips, and Benzoin tincture for deeper cuts
- Blue Environmental Pouch: Hot and cold packs, mylar blankets, safety glasses and masks, eye wash, and emesis bags
- Yellow Ortho Pouch: Splints, wraps, tape, and pins for sprains and strains
- Gray Tools Pouch (Lid): Shears, tweezers, syringe bulb, digital thermometer
- Gray Meds Pouch (Lid): Individually wrapped doses of Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Tylenol, burn cream with lidocaine, antibiotic ointment
Each Beacon Kit contains a quick reference guide to help you use these products appropriately and easily.
What is the Beacon Kit PRO?
With the Beacon Kit PRO, you get all the advantages of the Beacon Kit, plus our life-saving Trauma Pouch — taking your safety to the next level and empowering you to make a difference in critical situations.
The Trauma Pouch includes:
- Chest seal to keep puncture wounds free from air and contamination
- High-quality SAM tourniquet to slow minor to severe bleeding
- CPR face shield to provide a barrier during CPR
- Conforming gauze roll for compression and support
- Trauma dressing to control severe bleeding from major wounds
- QuikClot gauze to accelerate blood clotting and stop severe bleeding
- Gloves to protect from contamination and exposure
How versatile is the Beacon Kit?
The Beacon Kit is engineered for versatility and durability. It is perfect to have at base camp while camping. If hiking, grab the green bandage pouch and/or yellow ortho pouch and toss them in your bag. They are light, portable, and great to have with you in case of blisters, scrapes, or sprains.
Whether stored in your home, vehicle, RV, boat, or workplace, the Beacon Kit is ready to perform wherever your path takes you.
What standards does the Beacon Kit PRO meet?
The Beacon PRO Kit is engineered to exceed OSHA 1910.151(b) requirements and ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class B Type IV standards for workplace first aid. These are the same hospital-grade supplies used by medical professionals and are appropriate for both home and workplace emergency readiness.
This makes it perfect for construction sites, businesses, churches, as well as your RV, boat, 4×4, car, and home.
Is the Beacon Kit suitable for professional settings?
Absolutely. The Beacon Kit PRO distinguishes itself with its inclusion of high-quality, advanced trauma supplies such as the SAM splint, quality tourniquet, and QuikClot gauze — items not commonly found in standard first aid kits. Its compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards further enhances its suitability for professional settings.
Can I restock my Beacon Kit?
Absolutely. The case and organizational components are designed to last a lifetime, but the contents are intended for use. While we always hope we never have to use them, if you do, you can purchase replacement supplies for your kit directly from Beacon Medical Preparedness.
We offer restock options for individual pouches at very affordable pricing, plus a Complete Kit Restock bundle for full-kit maintenance.
How does the Beacon Restock Program work?
Purchasing a Beacon Kit unlocks access to the Beacon Restock Program — a modular replacement system that keeps your kit mission-ready, year after year.
Every Beacon Kit is organized into self-contained, color-coded pouches. When you restock, you replace pouches, not kits. Each pouch drops directly into its designated slot. No sorting. No guesswork. No paying for a brand-new case when the one you have was built to outlast emergencies.
Available restock pouches:
- Green Bandage Pouch Restock
- Blue Environmental Pouch Restock
- Yellow Ortho Pouch Restock
- Gray Tools Pouch Restock
- Gray Meds Pouch Restock
- Trauma Pouch Restock (PRO kits)
- Complete Kit Restock Bundle (all 6 pouches)

Do you offer corporate or bulk customization?
Yes. We provide a corporate customization option for businesses, teams, and organizations looking to equip their people with professional-grade medical readiness.
