Extreme Sports Enthusiasts And Free-Runners Reporting Success With Emergency Trauma Kit By First Aid Shoppe

March 09, 2016 – – First Aid Shoppe, a Clearwater, Florida company dedicated to providing high-end first aid and trauma gear to the general public, reports climbers, free-runners and parkour and extreme sports enthusiasts are writing in to express their success with First Aid Shoppe’s Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet. The kit is compact and designed to fit a need for rapid response to serious-injury.

“These are small kits and easy to keep on hand,” says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. “And they contain key items to handle serious bleeding — the most important thing to handle after breathing in a serious accident. Broken bones can be set, other injuries can be fixed later, but serious bleeding needs to be handled at the scene and handled fast. The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet is designed to do just that.”

These specific groups of users, climbers and parkour runners, have been purchasing these kits in record numbers for those reasons. The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-Tourniquet is compact, at just 10 ounces, and contains both the SWAT-Tourniquet (Stretch Wrap And Tuck) and an Advanced Clotting Sponge. These two items are designed to treat all major forms of serious bleeding.

The SWAT-Tourniquet is a quick-use, easy to apply tourniquet that can be placed high in the groin or armpit area to stem arterial bleeding, which can also be used as an elastic bandage. Arterial bleeding can lead to the fastest loss of blood; the SWAT-Tourniquet works to stop that flow. The Advanced Clotting Sponge is a combat-grade sponge that uses a hemostatic (clotting) agent in use globally by emergency responders around to handle serious hemorrhaging. The clotting sponge is designed to be used at point of injury, and in conjunction with the arterial blocking effects of the SWAT-Tourniquet, composes a full solution for serious-injury bleeding.

“It’s no surprise these extreme sports enthusiasts are picking these up,” says Ms. Loehwing. “They’re perfect for that rare but bad situation where you need to stabilize either yourself or another until help can arrive.”

The has been receiving positive response from extreme sports enthusiasts.
