Trauma first aid kits are designed for life-saving treatment of serious bleeding and can be used to treat serious injuries from home before further medical assistance. These trauma first aid kits include specialist items like haemostatic dressings, haemostatic granules and tourniquets and are much more effective at controlling catastrophic bleeding than the standard wound dressings found in most first aid kits.
Trauma kits are ideal for high-risk workplaces such as those working with heavy machinery, on construction sites or in metalwork and woodwork.
