(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 28, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet by First Aid Shoppe, providers of top-tier first aid gear for the general public, has been receiving endorsements from the Emergency Medical Technician community. The Trauma Kit is a compact kit with only a key set of items for use in stopping blood loss in a life-threatening emergency. It is meant to be used in conjunction with or incorporated into a standard, general purpose first aid kit.
"I am a retired fire department EMT," says one EMT. "Medical protocol on tourniquet application changes from time to time. As of now, the tourniquet protocol for citizen basic first aid allows it's use under certain circumstances (Be sure to check your local protocol). I like the SWAT-T tourniquet in this ResQue 1st Trauma & Auto Emergency First Aid Kit. It is easy to use and is very easy to understand the instructions (It's printed right on the tourniquet itself). The QuikClot bandage is also a "must have" for major trauma incidents."
Most EMTs also advise users enroll in a First Aid class. Both the SWAT-T Tourniquet and QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, the two key items in the kit for handling hemorrhaging, come with clear instructions and are made to be easy to use in an emergency. However standard First Aid training is always recommended.
"We're getting a lot of support in the professional community," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. "This kit is designed with one purpose in mind: to stabilize the victim after an extreme injury, to keep them alive until the pros can arrive and do the rest."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet by First Aid Shoppe comes with the SWAT-T Tourniquet, the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, gloves, wipes, gauze and tape. All items are in a durable nylon bag. Total kit weight, 10.2 ounces. It is available on Amazon with free shipping.
