PLATINUM 10 MEDICAL
Having been witness to multiple traumatic injuries while working as a firearms instructors, we made it our goal to offer training and equipment to our fellow instructors. From this, Platinum 10 Medical was born.
​
It started with a simple but comprehensive medical kit that we decided to offer to our students taking the Range Safety Officer courses at F.A.S.T. O.C., and with that came the requests to conduct training on those components. The medical kit grew in components and so has the training that we offered. At this point, we decided to form Platinum 10 Medical that would allow us to focus on this type of training exclusively.
