Trauma First Aid Kits & Supplies

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What should be in a basic trauma kit?
All basic trauma kits should at least include clothing cutters, gloves, a foil blanket, trauma dressings, haemostatic dressings and a tourniquet, so that you are prepared for an emergency situation.

What is the difference between first aid and trauma first aid?
A normal first aid kit will contain supplies suitable for treating normal, everyday injuries such as a small cut or the occasional potential broken limb, whereas a trauma first aid kit contains supplies that are suitable for mass casualty, emergency situations. A trauma first aid kit is intended to treat more severe injuries with the intention of prolonging life until paramedics arrive.

Haemostatic Dressings: What They Are and How to Use Them
Major blood loss accounts for 40% of deaths after traumatic injuries. That’s why every trauma response kit should carry life-saving haemostatic dressings. These important first aid items treat catastrophic bleeds by speeding up the clotting process, thereby reducing blood-flow from deep wounds.

How to Use a Tourniquet
Tourniquets are constricting bands that are tied around a limb to stop uncontrollable bleeding from a serious wound. Properly applying a tourniquet to a limb can be the life-saving difference when dealing with catastrophic bleeds, as they can stop or slow bleeding to give emergency services enough time to arrive.

What to Put in a Trauma First Aid Kit
While all UK businesses are required to have an appropriate first aid kit to treat minor illnesses and injuries, when the risk of serious injury is greater than normal, a trauma first aid kit may be required.

What is a PAcT Kit?
PAcT kits are first aid kits that have been specially designed to provide equipment suitable for immediate, life-threatening situations unlike regular first aid kits which are designed primarily for minor injuries.
