First Aid Shoppe Announces The Clotting Sponge In Their Emergency Trauma Kit Has Been Updated

June 20, 2016 – – Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of professional first aid, survival and trauma gear and kits, reported today that the advanced clotting sponge in their emergency trauma kit has been updated. The sponge now uses a different concentration of zeolite, the hemostatic (clotting) agent that accelerates the body’s natural clotting action on contact. First Aid Shoppe’s ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is a compact kit that features the advanced clotting sponge, along with other items for treating a serious bleeding injury, such as gauze, medical tape, antiseptic wipes and nitrile gloves.

“The updated sponge in our kit is amazing at what it does,” says Ms. Loehwing. “This is made for a real emergency, where someone is bleeding bad and it could threaten their life. Instructions are right on the pack, and you just open this sponge and apply it directly to the source of the bleeding. It starts acting in seconds, and can begin slowing and even stopping the bleeding entirely within minutes.”

The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe comes in a tough nylon bag with a durable zipper and hook for clipping to a ring or wire. The kit bag is 8 inches on the longer size, and the complete kit weighs 5 ounces. It is designed to fit easily for storage, and is intended specifically for treating a major bleeding emergency at the scene.

“This kit has one purpose and one only,” says Ms. Loehwing. “Stabilize a serious bleeding injury until help can arrive.”

The Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe features an updated clotting sponge, and includes other items for the control of serious bleeding, including latex free nitrile gloves.
