C-A-T® Tourniquet - Tourniquets are used to rapidly stop massive hemorrhaging on limbs.
Compressed / Hemostatic Gauze - Gauze is used to pack a wound at its source, which helps to stop the flow.
Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD®) - ETDs are used to cover a wound and assist in applying pressure after a wound has been packed with gauze.
Trauma Shears - Shears can be used to quickly remove clothing that is in the way of an injury.
Mini Sharpie Marker - A marker is included with every kit, so that you can write when you applied a tourniquet on the time strap. This will help EMS know how long a tourniquet has been on a patient.
Application of a chest seal
Gloves - Gloves help you to protect yourself, even as you’re taking care of other people’s injuries.
Bleeding Control Instructions - While these instructions are not a complete substitute for proper training and practice, they are a guide to help the proper steps to take during an emergency.
Chest Seal - Chest seals, which are included in all enhanced and premium enhanced kits, can be used to seal penetrating chest wounds.
Hypothermia Blanket - (Optional, included in enhanced kits) Hypothermia Blankets, or survival blankets can keep the patient warm while waiting for EMS personnel to respond to an emergency.
DISCLAIMER: Full contents of each kit may vary. This is a list of standard items provided in most kits.
Tourniquets
When pressure and packing fail, a tourniquet can be key to saving a bleeding victim's life. Make sure you're stocked up. Order tourniquets at the ACS Stop the Bleed Shop.
