EXTERNAL FEATURES

FRONT SIDE:

The Lazarus is fully made from XPAC fabric, which offers superb material qualities such as great weight-to-strength ratio and extreme tensile strength.

Offering a modular surface, the front of the Lazarus is fully covered with lasercut PALS. A full-size slot pocket bellows out gently and can hold items such as transfusion kits, splints or documents.

It also features a loop velcro panel for attaching ID patches and unit markers.

THE SPINE OF THE PACK

The whole of the pack is surrounded by 25mm (1 Inch) laminate loops that can take buckles for tie-down straps or shock cord.

Along the spine of the pack, two rows of PALS slots provide mounting space for soft litter pouches, tourniquets or other rapidly accessible items.

The waterproof YKK® AquaGuard zippers protect the contents of the pack from moisture and dust.

INTERNAL FEATURES

THE INSIDE:

The pack opens horizontally into two equal halves. This allows for easy access with low spatial dispersion of gear compared to vertically opening packs, meaning the maximum distance between items in the pack is smaller.

The outcome: The medic has better access under stress in confined spaces such as vehicles, buildings, aircraft or tunnels.

GRAB HANDLES:

Internally attached grab handles allow for rapid movement between patients without fully zipping up the pack.

When zipped up, the handles lay flat against the inside of the pack, reducing the snag hazard.

Additionally, these handles can be used to hang the pack vertically when mounted on a wall.

MOUNTING SOLUTIONS

ON THE PACK

Since medics often carry large packs to sustain themselves in the field, the Lazarus is specifically designed to work with such equipment.

Using MOLLE-to-zipper adapters, the Lazarus can be directly attached to any PALS capable ruck. This method offers rapid-detach capability for fast deployment when needed.

Additionally, the 25mm (1 Inch) loops can be used to attach the pack to the large ruck using removable buckles or any other 25mm webbing.

ZIPPED IN

Used like an assault panel, the medic might choose to run the Lazarus attached to an armor vest using the integrated YKK® Vislon #10 (Crye® AVS compatible) zippers if applicable.

This is especially useful when straps would hinder the primary mission, such as VBSS, vertical rope access or hoisting operations.

While not primarily intended for this carrying method, a medic with readily available team members can consider this option.

THE PROBLEM

Today's forward-deployed medic must face a complex and multi-faceted challenge in the current operating environment. Operating in a remote area with a small team of people usually means that carrying large amounts of sustainment gear is necessary.

The medic must carry his equipment, including sleeping gear and shelter systems, clothing, food, water, navigation equipment, communication tools as well as additional equipment dictated by the environment and the mission.

That usually means that the medic will have to carry a large rucksack to contain all these items. However, medical work at the point of injury requires a lightweight and compact loadout to maintain agility and flexibility. Large rucks are cumbersome and not feasible in these situations.

These diametrically opposed requirements put the medic in a challenging position. Carrying a dedicated, lightweight medical bag for work at the point of injury is often very difficult while already being loaded out with large rucks and sustainment gear. A serious challenge that has not been sufficiently addressed so far.

THE SOLUTION

To enable the medic to efficiently carry his sustainment gear as well as to allow for rapid access and detachability of his medical equipment, we have designed a medical pack that can be integrated into an existing loadout using a multitude of attachment methods.

Its attachment system makes it compatible with most current military rucksacks as well as plate carriers utilizing the Crye Precision zipper attachment system. It can easily be adapted to fit a wider variety of packs using interchangeable buckle adapters and lashing points.

The pack can be rapidly detached from its mounting solution and then independently employed at the point of injury.

It is designed to be used in conjunction with other medical equipment such as medical waist bags or MARCH belts. It is supposed to provide the medic with higher-level procedure capabilities such as fluid resuscitation, airway and respiration management as well as point-of-care diagnostics such as POCUS, pharmacological capabilities, and other procedures in the medic’s scope of practice.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

FAQs

What role is this pack suited for?

The pack was designed to be carried during direct action missions and operations where mobility and compact size are the primary requirements. It can also be carried attached to a large rucksack, making it a versatile and multi-use pack for both short-term and longer-duration missions.

This pack is so compact. Can it fit all the necessary gear?

The pack is designed to fit all the gear necessary for tactical field care such as resuscitation and ventilation equipment as well as diagnostics. Basics like bandages and other IFAK-level gear can be carried in a medical waist bag, MARCH belt, or chest rig or distributed to your teammates' IFAKs to reach a higher supply saturation in the team.

What mounting options does the pack provide?

The pack can be carried as a traditional backpack with the included detachable straps. Using the attachment loops it can be either carried as a traditional backpack or as a slinger bag using just one strap. It also includes a multitude of lashing points that can be used to attach the pack to any object using 25 mm (1") webbing and buckles. In addition to that, the pack features two Crye AVS-standard #10 zippers that can interface with any zipper attachment system with the same parameters. The pack comes with zipper adapters that allow you to zip your pack into your large rucksack or plate carrier.

Which Packs are compatible with the zipper adapters?

Using the molle-to-zipper adapters, the Lazarus Pack can be mounted to any MOLLE surface that is 5 Molle rows tall and 6 molle rows wide (like the back of a standard ESAPI-size plate carrier). This makes the pack compatible with large rucks such as the USMC FILBE, US Army MOLLE 2 Large, or any other pack accepting molle pouches of that dimension.

Will other zippers such as the Spiritus Systems ones work too?

This pack was specifically designed to interface with Crye Precision-standard size zippers. Other brands using the same zipper standard as Crye Precision will be compatible. However, Spiritus Systems and other manufacturers using proprietary zipper sizes will not be compatible with the EURMED pack. To enable full cross-platform compatibility, the Lazarus comes with a pair of molle-to-zipper adapters.

Note: Ferro Concepts Zippers will generally work with the Lazarus, however, due to the different zipper lengths of the Ferro Concepts products you might be facing some overhang when attached. Nothing some good old 550 Cord can't fix.

Can my unit order a custom color or fabric?

Yes. If your unit requires a special version of our Lazarus Medic Assault Pack, custom arrangements can be made. Please contact DEFTEX via eMail and they will get in touch with you.

Will other pouches fit the Lazarus Pack?

Yes. The Lazarus is fully lined with loop velcro and can therefore accept any hook-velcro-backed pouch that fits the dimensions of the Lazarus. Aftermarket accessories will therefore be compatible.
