(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 12, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Today Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of high-end first aid and survival gear to professionals and the general public, reported that K thru 12 schools are buying their ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit to have on hand in the event of a serious bleeding emergency. The trauma kit features the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, which uses and advanced hemostatic (clotting) agent to stop quickly bleeding at the wound. It does this by stimulating the body's natural clotting function. The purpose of the QuikClot sponge is to stabilize a serious bleeding injury until more professional help can be sought.
"We're so happy to be able to provide these to the schools that are looking for them," says Ms. Loehwing. "We're in the business of providing things that can help save lives, and that in itself is rewarding enough, but to know that one of these could keep a kid safe until help can arrive ... that's just a great feeling."
The QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge has a hemostatic agent that has been recommended for use by the US Department of Defense. It is in use by all four branches of the US Military, and has been proven in battlefield scenarios. It is able to control severe hemorrhaging, and stimulate clotting long enough to stabilize a victim on the scene. The kit is compact, less than half a pound, and can be included with other first aid gear. Additional items are included with the sponge to help with a bleeding emergency, including a pair of antiseptic gloves, antiseptic wipes, gauze, medial tape and bandaging. The idea is that with the contents of this kit a serious bleeding emergency can be handled until help can arrive.
"This kit has a very specific use in mind," says Ms. Loehwing. "It can be stored easily just about anywhere, and when an emergency strikes you're ready to respond."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe is available on Amazon.
