(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 13, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- "People who camp or hike or spend time outdoors most often find themselves in remote and even extremely remote areas," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. "When they're out there they need a way to take care of themselves if they're hurt or seriously injured. Your typical first aid kit is okay for some of the sorts of injuries you might suffer, but for serious, life-threatening trauma you need something more robust. Our ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is designed for just these sorts of situations."
Clearwater based First Aid Shoppe reports the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit contains items intended for more serious injuries, including life-threatening bleeding that needs to be stopped on the scene. As its centerpiece, according to Ms. Loehwing, it contains the military-approved and deployed QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge. She reports this is an advanced clotting sponge with hemostatic agent used to stop localized heavy bleeding fast. QuikClot accelerates the body's natural coagulation cascade, says Ms. Loehwing, promoting clotting quickly after application. The hemostatic agent does not cause complications. "QuikClot is credited with helping thousands of injured people survive severe blood loss every year," says Ms. Loehwing. "This is the exact sort of thing you want in your kit, especially if you're far from help and need to stop major bleeding from an injury fast. Our kit gives you the tools you need to treat the injury, giving you stability enough to keep you alive until you can get to help or until help can arrive."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe includes the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge (also known as Combat Gauze), as well as gloves, antiseptic wipes, gauze, tape and a sturdy nylon carrying case. The trauma kit is compact and can be stowed in small areas, such as tent compartments, pouches, bike gear, boat or backpack.
"When you're outdoors, climbing, riding bikes, camping hiking ... many dangers can present themselves. You can be hurt at any moment. Keeping one of these on hand ensures you're ready to handle an injury if it happens. What's the motto of the premier outdoor league? Be prepared. Our kit will give you peace of mind when you're having fun in the great outdoors."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe is available on Amazon.
