(Medical-NewsWire.com, November 06, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, reports that their ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is designed specifically to treat major bleeding injuries at the site of an accident and stabilize the victim until help can be sought. First Aid Shoppe is a manufacturer and seller of a variety of first aid and survival gear intended for professionals but available to the general public. The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is a targeted kit, with key items needed to control severe bleeding.
"You might call this a supplemental kit," says Ms. Loehwing, "as it supplements the usual general-care first aid items in a more comprehensive first aid kit. This kits, unfortunately, rarely have the means to handle major bleeding from a serious wound. That's where our ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit comes in. It's got the QuikClot clotting sponge, which is made to stop bleeding fast."
QuikClot uses a hemostatic (clotting) agent that has been approved for use by the US Department of Defense. This same clotting agent is in use on the battlefield by all four branches of the Military. It is applied directly to the wound and acts to accelerate the natural clotting process. When an emergency strikes, or a serious accident that involves an injury with severe bleeding, the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge is removed and applied directly to the wound to begin the clotting process. It begins to work immediately and slows and stops bleeding in minutes. In the case of a serious injury this can stabilize the victim until more professional help can be sought.
"This is the lifesaver kit," says Ms. Loehwing. "It's small and easy to keep on hand. Hopefully you never need it, but if you do it could be the things that keeps someone alive long enough to get help."
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit contains key items needed to handle severe bleeding, including antiseptic gloves and wipes, along with medical tape, gauze and bandages. It is available on Amazon.
