(Health-NewsWire.Net, December 04, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- First Aid Shoppe, providers of high-end first aid and survival gear to professionals and the general public, reported today that the tourniquet in their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet can also be used as a compression bandage. The tourniquet is a quick use tourniquet for use in the field, and is designed to be deployed quickly in an emergency.
"It's called the SWAT-T tourniquet," says Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, "which stands for Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical. It was named after the community it was originally intended to serve, our first responders and tactical weapons units. It's a very versatile tourniquet that can also be wrapped around an injury and used as a compression bandage."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is a targeted use kit, intended to provide the emergency items needed to stabilize a serious bleeding injury on the scene. The SWAT-T tourniquet can be applied quickly, high into the groin or armpit area to stem or stop the flow of arterial blood to a wound. It can also be used as a compression bandage. The second item in the kit is the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, a hemostatic (clotting) agent that accelerates the body's natural clotting action. Also included in the kit are antiseptic wipes, gloves, bandages and medical tape.
"With these two items you can handle just about any bleeding emergency," says Ms. Loehwing. "Instructions for each item are clearly printed on the packaging, and with the items in this kit you can figure out a way to stem the flow of blood from just about any injury until help can arrive."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is available on Amazon and comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
