(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 19, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- First Aid Shoppe, providers of high-end and special-use first aid and trauma gear for the general public, reports that the SWAT-T Tourniquet in their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit is in use by various civilian police and emergency response units around the world. The SWAT-T Tourniquet (Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical) is named in part for these Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) teams and the sorts of high-trauma injuries the tourniquet is designed to support.
"This is a full-function tourniquet," says COO, Anna Loehwing, "and it's available in this kit to the general public."
The SWAT-T Tourniquet included in the ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet has been designed to be compact, while functioning fully as a tourniquet compress to stop arterial bleeding. It can be placed high in the groin or armpit area, and can also be used as a compression bandage. Instructions on the tourniquet show visually how to wrap and apply.
"We made this kit to be compact and easy to stow with your other, more general purpose first aid gear," says Ms. Loehwing. "This is a high-trauma kit, with just what you need to stop serious bleeding at the scene. Keep it with your band-aids and other things, and when you have a real injury on your hands, you'll be ready."
SWAT and emergency response units deal with piercing injuries, such as bullet wounds, and other incidences of high blood loss. The SWAT-T Tourniquet, as well as the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, which is also included in the kit, are designed specifically to handle serious bleeding from all types of wounds.
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is available on Amazon and currently comes with free shipping.
