(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 09, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- First Aid Shoppe, makers of first aid and extreme injury products, announced today that their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet advanced kit has been shown to be highly effective in stopping major bleeding, specifically arterial bleeding with the use of the SWAT-Tourniquet.
"This is one of our premier kits," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. "It's what we call a Trauma Kit, as it's got the items you need to handle serious bleeding in a major emergency. Typical first aid kits are fine for cuts or bruises, maybe even helping with a broken bone, but when the injury is bad and the victim is bleeding fast, you need a way to perform onsite stabilization until help can be sought or the ambulance can arrive. This kit is designed for just that."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet includes two key components designed to stop major bleeding:
- The QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, a US Department of Defense approved and deployed hemostatic (clotting) agent designed specifically to handle battlefield hemorrhaging, and
- The SWAT-Tourniquet, which stands for Stretch Wrap And Tuck, a quick-use tourniquet designed for emergency use in the field to stop arterial bleeding.
"The SWAT-Tourniquet is amazing," says Ms. Loehwing. "It can be applied high in the groin or armpit area to stop serious arterial bleeding. Either femoral or humeral. This tourniquet, in combination with the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge for stopping bleeding directly at the site of the injury, gives you a way to stop or at least greatly slow just about any type of injury bleeding. With this kit, and these two items, you can stabilize even a serious bleeding injury long enough to get help."
Both the SWAT-Tourniquet and the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge are used by professional first responders, the military, police and health care professionals.
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet is on sale for a limited time on Amazon for $39.95.
