(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 12, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- The SWAT-T (Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical) compact tourniquet, now included in First Aid Shoppe's ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet, has been shown to stem arterial bleeding as well as more bulky models. The SWAT Tactical Tourniquet is small for easy stowage, and deploys to a full-function tourniquet. It can be placed high in either the armpit of groin area to lock down and stem the flow of arterial bleeding to a major wound.
"The SWAT-T Stretch-Wrap-And-Tuck Tourniquet is an advanced Tourniquet," says Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe. "But it's small, and it's extremely easy to use even by untrained people. Clear instructions on the pack show you visually how tight to wrap it."
The SWAT-T Tourniquet is included as part of the ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet, a lightweight (less than one pound) trauma kit designed to compliment more general-use first aid kits. The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet has just the items needed to handle major injury, with:
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 SWAT-T Stretch-Wrap-And-Tuck Tourniquet 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
QuikClot is a spot dressing and hemostatic (blood clotting) agent used by the military. QuikClot products are credited with helping thousands of people survive traumatic blood loss every year. In conjunction with the SWAT-T Tourniquet QuikClot acts to provide a solution for most any bleeding emergency.
"Keep one of these small kits with your usual first aid gear," says Ms. Loehwing. "It has the gear you need to potentially save a life."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is available on Amazon.
