(Medical-NewsWire.com, December 05, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Today Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, reported that the full weight of their ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is now under half a pound. The kit contains all items that have been part of the kit, and the complete weight with all items is five (5) ounces. The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is designed to treat serious bleeding injuries and contains gloves, wipes, medical gauze and tape, and the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge. All items are contained in a nylon zipper bag. First Aid Shoppe is a first aid company that provides survival and first aid gear to professionals and the general public.
"Our kit is now quite a bit under half a pound, which is already extremely light," says Ms. Loehwing. "We've tried to make it especially unobtrusive and easy to have on hand. You can stick one in the glove box, or a drawer, but more than that and in particular of you're on the move, you can throw it in with your gear and the weight is extremely negligible."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit features the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, which is designed to be placed directly on a serious bleeding wound to accelerate the body's natural clotting process. It uses an advanced hemostatic (clotting) agent that has been approved by the US Department of Defense and is deployed in all four branches of the US Military. The sponge is intended to slow or stop serious bleeding, such as that which might occur on the battlefield, to stabilize the victim until help can arrive. This sponge is now available as the centerpiece of the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe.
"The idea with this kit is to give you a way to stabilize someone who might otherwise bleed out before help can arrive," says Ms. Loehwing. "Instructions are right on the package and easy to follow. You take it out, open it up and apply to the injury. Clotting is accelerated and the bleeding halts."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is available on Amazon.
