(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 24, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- "There's an old saying, kind of odd but true," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing: "Band-aids don't fix bullet holes. And while you can take this literally, I use it here more figuratively, as I think it was intended. In short, for a serious injury you need serious help." Ms. Loehwing reports that blood loss is one of the biggest killers in serious accidents, and that after handling breathing issues (CPR, if needed), controlling the flow of blood is the key to helping an accident victim survive.
"Blood is life," says Ms. Loehwing. "If a person is bleeding badly you have to control that, stop it if possible, until help can arrive. A band-aid or a bandage, what you find in standard first aid kits, won't do that. For real injuries you need a real trauma kit."
Ms. Loehwing says their ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit contains the QuikClot Combat Advanced Clotting Sponge, the only hemostatic agent approved for use by the Department of Defense. QuikClot is used in all branches of the military.
"QuikClot is simply the best," she says. "You apply it and within seconds the clotting process begins. Applying QuikClot directly to the area of major bleeding can stop blood flow quickly, thus saving a life."
Ms. Loehwing says the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit contains items needed to administer first aid in a traumatic situation. The kit contains:
1 Pair of Antiseptic Gloves - for protection of both patient and care giver.
4 Antiseptic Wipes - for wound cleaning and protection.
1 QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge - 3.5" x 3.5" Mesh Bag 25g
1 Sterile Gauze Pad 5" x 9"
1 Roll of Gauze Bandage 3" x 4.1 Yards
1 Roll of Medical Tape - for holding dressings in place.
1 Red Kit Bag, with easy-open zipper and heavy-duty locking hook for secure storage
"These are small and easy to keep on hand. I advise everyone to have one of these in easy reach for that time you really need it."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe is now available on Amazon.
