(Health-NewsWire.Net, January 04, 2016 ) Clearwater, Florida -- Today First Aid Shoppe, a medical supply company and provider of high-end first aid and survival gear to professionals and the general public, reported that their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is being placed on sale to start the New Year. The trauma kit is a top-tier solution to traumatic blood loss and heavy hemorrhaging that can occur following a serious injury or accident.
"This is our best blood loss kit," says First Aid Shoppe COO, Anna Loehwing. "This one has both of our champion bleeding control solutions; QuikClot, the advanced clotting sponge, and the SWAT-T Tourniquet. Between these two items you can control just about any major bleeding situation, on the scene, so you can stabilize someone until help can arrive. To start the New Year we're putting this whole kit on sale."
SWAT-T stands for Stretch Wrap And Tuck - Tactical, and this tourniquet is the same used globally by emergency responders and special units. It is a quick-use tourniquet with easy to follow directions printed on the packaging. It can be applied high in the groin or armpit area to clamp down arterial bleeding and slow or stop the flow of blood to an extremity. It can also be used as a compression bandage. QuikClot employs a fast-acting clotting agent which can stop bleeding at the source of an injury. With SWAT-T and QuikClot the kit provides a solution to handle most forms of serious bleeding that might otherwise lead to loss of consciousness or death if not handled quickly. Other items included in the kit compliment this function, including gauze, medical tape, and a pair of non-latex gloves.
"We had a few sales on this last year," says Ms. Loehwing, "and the popularity of the kit has continued to climb. We're taking ten dollars off to start the New Year, and we hope this will inspire more people to pick one up. I can't say enough how valuable this could be if you suddenly find yourself in a situation where someone is losing blood fast -- including you -- and you need a way to stop it. This kit could save a life."
The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet by First Aid Shoppe is available on Amazon and is currently on sale.
