(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 11, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- First Aid & Safety, a Clearwater based provider of professional emergency-use first aid kits and equipment, reports an increase in sales of their serious-injury trauma kit to hikers, campers and climbers. The trauma kit is designed specifically with outdoorsmen in mind, says First Aid & Safety COO, Anna Loehwing. Ms. Loehwing reports that the kit was designed for people who are often in remote areas engaged in activities that are potentially dangerous. The focus of the kit, reports Ms. Loehwing, is to provide a solution for users far from medical facilities, such as hikers, campers, boaters, climbers and extreme sports enthusiasts.
"We packed the kit with the best items," says Ms. Loehwing. "And we kept it compact. Users of this kit need something highly effective for severe injury bleeding, and yet they need it to be compact. Easy to carry. We've done it with this kit, our most advanced trauma kit, and it's got exactly what you need to keep someone alive. Either on the scene, or until they can be transported to a facility. After breathing, bleeding is the biggest thing to handle with extreme injury. Our kit handles exactly that. Bones can be set, concussions can be treated later. Cuts and bruises can be band-aided or bandaged. With bleeding, however, especially bad bleeding, you simply have no time to wait. You've got to stop it and you've got to stop it fast. Stopping the bleeding in a serious injury is critical for saving a life."
Ms. Loehwing reports the Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet contains items specifically for this purpose. "We include the QuikClot Advanced Clotting sponge," says Ms. Loehwing, "a high-trauma hemostatic agent which is approved for use by the military. QuikClot is designed to clot major bleeding at the injury." The SWAT-Tourniquet is a quick-use tourniquet designed to quickly halt arterial bleeding. It can be applied high in the armpit or groin area. With the SWAT Tourniquet and the QuikClot sponge most all forms of bleeding can be stopped at the scene, allowing time for transport to or arrival of professional medical personnel.
Ms. Loehwing says, "The kit is very portable. It's easy to keep one on hand, and it could save a life."
The Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet is available on Amazon.
