Chinook Medical Gear

What Chinook Medical Gear does

Chinook Medical Gear, Inc. is a privately held U.S. medical equipment supplier headquartered at 12505 E. 55th Street, Unit B, Tulsa, Oklahoma, that designs, assembles, and distributes custom medical solutions for harsh and tactical environments. Its product portfolio is organized into four core categories — Kits, Modules, Packs, and Supplies — spanning tactical medical kits (TMK series, MARCH kit, Medical Operator Kit), fire/rescue/EMS kits, public access bleeding control kits (LIFE Kits/Stations), personal aid kits, vacuum-sealed procedure modules (airway, cricothyrotomy, blood transfusion, chest tube, wound closure, IV/IO), tactical packs and pouches, and more than 30 supply categories including hemostatics, tourniquets, bandages, PPE, oxygen, and wound management. Proprietary product designs include the Chinook IDPA pressure adjunct, the Medical Panel Insert Kit's overlapping hinge system, and the Officer Response Kit's one-handed opening system, with design reportedly informed by Special Operations community input and TCCC protocols.

The company is a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), which qualifies it for federal, state, and local government set-aside contracts and GSA procurement vehicles. Chinook operates as both an original assembler of its own kits and modules and as a multi-vendor distributor, reselling products from North American Rescue, Teleflex, TacMed Solutions, Bound Tree Medical, SafeGuard Medical, SAM Medical, McKesson, and 6:8 Medical Solutions.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales across two go-to-market motions: direct e-commerce self-serve ordering at chinookmed.com for individual consumers and professionals, and enterprise field sales via RFQ, GSA, and government set-aside channels for military, law enforcement, and fire/rescue institutional buyers. Pricing spans entry-level consumables (e.g., trauma shears at $6.99) to specialized systems (NAR WALK kit at $1,999.99, Golden Hour Medic Thermal Container at $1,594.06), with discount pricing programs for qualifying customers and multi-year government contracts. Customer segments span military/Special Operations, law enforcement, fire/rescue/EMS, public access/corporate, and consumer/personal aid. The company maintains a U.S.-only geographic footprint, an active e-commerce storefront, and a blog/newsletter marketing presence.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• McKesson: Massive U.S. medical distributor serving hospitals, pharmacies, and government; competes with Chinook on broad medical supply categories while also being a supplier (N95, gloves, CPR masks).
• Henry Schein: Large healthcare distributor with a public-sector and emergency preparedness division that overlaps with Chinook's institutional/government channel — broader catalog and substantially larger scale.
• Teleflex: Diversified medical device manufacturer whose tactical product lines (QuikClot Combat Gauze, EZ-IO) overlap directly with Chinook's hemorrhage control and IV/IO kits. Also a Chinook supplier.

Direct peers

• Combat Medical Systems: Tactical medical product manufacturer focused on hemorrhage control and TCCC-aligned solutions for military and law enforcement. Directly comparable product/customer base to Chinook's tactical line.
• North American Rescue: Direct competitor in tactical medical kits, hemostatic gauze, tourniquets, and combat casualty care supplies serving military, law enforcement, and EMS. NAR is also a Chinook supplier, making it both a competitor and a channel dependency.
• Prometheus Medical: UK-based tactical medical equipment supplier serving defense, law enforcement, and emergency services. Directly comparable product line (hemorrhage control, procedure packs) and customer type, but primarily operating in EMEA rather than the U.S.
• Rescue Essentials: Specialty supplier of tactical first aid kits, IFAKs, and trauma kits targeting law enforcement, military, and outdoor users. Closely comparable product set and customer segments to Chinook.
• Bound Tree Medical: Large EMS and pre-hospital medical supplies distributor serving fire, rescue, and law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Overlaps directly with Chinook's Fire/Rescue/EMS kits and supply categories; also a Chinook supplier.
• Adventure Medical Kits: Outdoor and travel-focused medical kit manufacturer; overlaps with Chinook's Personal Aid, Adventurer, and Traveler kits. Different primary customer (consumer/outdoor) but directly comparable product category.
• TacMed Solutions: Direct peer in tactical medical solutions, producing BLAST bandages, OLAES hemostatic bandages, and procedure kits designed for SOF, law enforcement, and EMS. TacMed products are also resold through Chinook.
