(Health-NewsWire.Net, December 26, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Fist Aid Shoppe today reported that their special purpose ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet contains items which give the kit a solution to handle the two major sources of serious bleeding. The trauma kit is intended for this purpose only; stabilizing serious bleeding injuries on the scene. First Aid Shoppe is a supplier of these sorts of special purpose kits and gear.
"This kit is designed for one thing and one thing only," says Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe. "Stopping serious bleeding fast. After breathing and heart beat, bleeding is the number one thing you need to stabilize after a serious injury. This kit gives you the tools to stop or slow the most traumatic bleeding until help can arrive."
Arterial bleeding and heavy bleeding from the site of a wound are the two major types of blood loss. The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet has two key items, the QuikClot Advanced Clotting sponge and the SWAT-T (Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical) Tourniquet. QuikClot is applied directly to the source of bleeding where it promotes accelerate clotting and reduction or a complete stoppage of the loss of blood. The SWAT-T Tourniquet is a compression bandage that can be applied high in the groin or armpit area to stop the flow of blood to the arteries of a limb, thus stopping the loss of blood through a major arterial injury. Together these two items will slow or stop most any source of major bleeding, thus stabilizing the victim.
"Keep one of these on hand," says Ms. Loehwing. "The kit is very compact, and you can keep it with your existing kit, with your gear, in a backpack, in a glove box -- have it where you can get to it, and when you need it you just might save a life."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is available on Amazon.
