(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 19, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Today Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of specialized and high-end first aid and survival gear for professionals and the general public, announced that their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet bundles two key items specially designed to handle serious bleeding at the scene of an accident or injury. The key items in the kit, a clotting sponge and compact tourniquet, can be used to stabilize a victim until more professional help can be sought. The clotting sponge is applied directly to injuries to accelerate clotting and stop bleeding, and the tourniquet is applied to the armpit or groin area to reduce or stop arterial bleeding.
"This is our laser-focused specialty kit," says Ms. Loehwing. "We've bundled two of the best items on the market for stopping serious bleeding at the scene. This QuikClot clotting sponge and SWAT-T Tourniquet are both made to stabilize a victim until you can get professional help."
The QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge included in the kit employs a hemostatic (clotting) agent recommended for use by the US Department of Defense, and on active duty in the field with all four branches of the US Military. It works by accelerating the body's natural clotting action when applied to the site of a wound. The SWAT-T (Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical) Tourniquet is also battlefield tested, specifically within the emergency responder and Special Weapons And Tactics arenas -- a field for which the tourniquet was named. It clamps high in the groin or armpit area to reduce or stop arterial bleeding.
"Between these two items you've got a solution for any bleeding emergency," says Ms. Loehwing. "The kit is compact and designed for one thing only: Stop the bleeding. It's easy to keep on hand with your larger, more general purpose first aid kit. Hopefully you don't need it, but if a real emergency strikes this could be the kit that saves a life."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet by First Aid Shoppe is available on Amazon.
