First Aid Shoppe Has Assembled A Small Trauma Kit With Items For Outdoorsmen And Campers

February 29, 2016 – – First Aid Shoppe, makers of high-end and high-trauma emergency first aid kits, has assembled a small kit with high-trauma items for use by outdoorsmen and campers. These are people who are often far from any sort of medical help, and need a solution for serious injuries. The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit with Advanced Clotting Sponge provides the necessary items to stop bleeding at the scene until more advanced care can be sought.

“It’s a basic kit,” says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. “This is not necessarily a first aid kit, with bug bite salve and band aids and other items for cuts and bruises. The kit is small, it’s easy to store, and when you’re hurt bad it could quite possibly save your life. Or someone else’s.” The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit weighs in at under a third of a pound and comes in a durable nylon bag, red for visibility. The kit includes key items for stopping severe bleeding. After a breathing emergency, bleeding is the number one threat to life. Severe bleeding from a major injury can cause death in minutes. The Advanced Clotting Sponge, the core component of the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit, is designed to clot the wound at the site of a serious bleeding injury.

“When you’re out in the wild, far from help, this could be your biggest emergency,” says Ms. Loehwing. “This kit is small and easy to keep on hand with your other gear. If the big accident happens and you’re bleeding bad, pull it out, unzip and use the sponge to stop the bleeding.” The Advanced Clotting Sponge is a hemostatic (clotting) agent that promotes quick clotting upon application to the site of the wound.

The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit contains other items for such an emergency, including gauze, bandages and antiseptic gloves.
