Product Description

JACOB'S KIT – Bleeding Control Kit Built to Save Lives

The JACOB Kit is more than a bleeding control kit — it’s a mission. It was created in honor of 6-year-old Jacob Hall from Townville, South Carolina, who was tragically wounded in a school shooting in 2016. Though Jacob survived the scene and emergency response, he passed away days later due to blood loss. His story sparked a movement: a commitment to ensure every school and public building is prepared to stop traumatic bleeding and protect lives.

First launched by the Townville area fire district in 2017, the JACOB Kit program quickly gained momentum. Schools, government buildings, and community organizations across the county, state, and nation have embraced the initiative — recognizing how critical immediate bleeding control can be before first responders arrive.

Today, the goal remains the same: empower staff, teachers, and bystanders with the tools needed to act fast, stay calm, and save a life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bleeding control kit or trauma kit?

A bleeding control kit (also sometimes called a trauma or tourniquet kit) contains tools and supplies to manage severe traumatic bleeding, including items like tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, gloves, and bandages. As it is designed specifically for life threatening bleeding, it does not include many items typically found in a first aid kit for more minor issues, such as small bandages for minor cuts and scrapes.

Is a bleeding control kit the same as a STOP THE BLEED® Kit?

Functionally, bleeding control kits serve the same purpose as STOP THE BLEED Kits. In fact you will often find the exact same components in each. The main difference is that STOP THE BLEED® kits must adhere to specific guidelines set by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT), and be officially licensed by the Department of Homeland Security’s STOP THE BLEED®. The guidelines and license ensure the kit contains standardized, evidence-based components necessary to empower bystanders to effectively respond to bleeding emergencies.

So, while all STOP THE BLEED Kits are bleeding control kits, not all bleeding control kits meet the official ACS COT standards required for a STOP THE BLEED designation. If you're purchasing a kit, it's important to confirm whether it meets these specific guidelines, especially if it’s for compliance with legislative or organizational requirements.

Who should have a bleeding control kit?

Bleeding control kits are essential for schools, workplaces, public venues, first responders, and anyone trained in basic bleeding control techniques.

Can anyone use a bleeding control kit?

Yes, these kits are designed for use by both trained and untrained individuals, with step-by-step instructions provided.

How should I store my bleeding control kit(s)?

Store single kits in a cool, dry place that's easily accessible during emergencies. For multiple kits, we recommend a dedicated storage solution such as a wall mounted bleeding control cabinet or carry case.

Do your kits have an expiration date?

The only components in our kits with expiration dates are chest seals & hemostatic dressings. They have a typical shelf life of 3-5 years. Individual replacements for those can be purchased here.
