The Bleeding Control Kit by True Rescue® provides the lay responder with battlefield tested tools to help control life threatening traumatic blood loss. Our kits are expertly crafted with input from seasoned first responders.
True Rescue's Bleeding Control Kit comes in three different variations: Standard, Intermediate, & Premium. Each kit builds upon the last, providing additional life saving tools to help control traumatic bleeding. Whether you are a civilian preparing your home, school or place of business, or a professional working in the military, law enforcement or EMS, you can rest easy knowing there is a kit here for you!
Standard Kit - Our Standard Kit includes all the essentials when it comes to controlling traumatic blood loss. A tourniquet, used to occlude blood flow in both upper & lower extremities. Compressed gauze, used to pack wounds and wrap injuries. Emergency Trauma Dressing, used to apply immediate & direct pressure. Nitrile Responder Gloves (latex & powder free). Trauma Shears to cut through the toughest material. Survival blanket to preserve body heat. A permanent marker to notate the time tourniquet was applied. And lastly, an instruction card to aid in the application of the tourniquet, wound packing gauze, and emergency trauma dressing.
Intermediate Kit - Building upon our Standard Kit, the Intermediate Kit incorporates (2) HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seals; vented chest seals are used to treat patients with penetrating chest trauma, particularly those with entry & exit wounds (gunshot wounds being a common example). The unique design allows air to escape the chest cavity during exhalation, but not make it's way back in during inhalation. Each seal is coated with a highly adhesive gel, allowing it to be successfully applied in the presence of blood, sweat, or other bodily fluids.
Premium Kit - The Premium Kit includes all contents from the Standard & Intermediate Kits, with the final addition of QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing. This hemostatic gauze is impregnated with Kaolin, a hemostatic agent which accelerates the clotting process of blood. This helps the first responder control traumatic bleeding faster than traditional gauze.
Picking Your Tourniquet
C-A-T Tourniquet - Considered a favorite among law enforcement, the U.S. Army, & first responders alike, this windlass tourniquet has been a staple in bleeding control kits for years.
SAM XT Tourniquet - The SAM XT is similar in design to the C-A-T tourniquet, but with some notable upgrades including a metal windlass rod & auto locking buckle.
SWAT-T Tourniquet - The SWAT-T is a simple yet effective elastic tourniquet that is suitable for use with not only adults, but also small children and K-9s. A unique and easy to use alternative to traditional windlass tourniquets with wide ranging applications.
