(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 10, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Clearwater based First Aid & Safety reports that the inclusion of the SWAT-Tourniquet in their trauma kit is now filling a need for emergency treatment of severe injuries. "Most first aid kits are designed to handle cuts and small injuries," says Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid & Safety. "But what do you do when you're faced with a severe injury with major bleeding and you're far from a hospital or any form of professional help? Even if you're close and an ambulance can get there soon, if you've got bleeding that is going to turn critical in a matter of minutes, you need a solution and you need it fast. Your average first aid kit is not going to work in that situation."
The SWAT brand tourniquet is a unique, multipurpose dressing. The name describes its usage -- Stretch, Wrap And Tuck -- and is also meant to be a nod to the communities for which it was developed, specifically military and civilian Special Weapons And Tactics teams. "As we know these teams operate in situations that have a high incidence of penetrating trauma," says Ms. Loehwing, "and most preventable deaths in that operating environment are from extremity bleeding." The SWAT-Tourniquet allows a rapid means of controlling extremity bleeding. It can be applied higher into the groin and armpit than other tourniquets. Ease of application means it can be effectively applied in seconds with little to no training.
"This is a true trauma kit," says Ms. Loehwing, "designed for when you have a real injury that needs fast, effective treatment until professional help can step in."
The Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet also comes with the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge which is designed to stop localized bleeding by forming a fast clot. Also comes with standard emergency kit items, including antiseptic gloves and wipes, sterile gause, bandages and medical tape.
The Trauma Kit is now available on Amazon with a money back guarantee.
