Bleeding control kits can be used to rescue individuals injured in motorcycle accidents, hikers injured in remote locations, workers injured on an assembly line, or victims of violent crime. Sadly, more and more kits are needed in public spaces like parks, schools, office buildings, municipal buildings, and other public venues to treat victims of mass casualty events and active shooter incidents.
Mass casualty incidents such as mass shootings are a harrowing fact of life in America. Uncontrolled bleeding is responsible for 35% of pre-hospital trauma deaths and 40% of deaths within the first 24 hours (National Institute of Health). What’s kind of injuries can a bleeding control kit help treat?
Bleeding control kits — also referred to as trauma kits or Stop the Bleed® kits — are specialized trauma kits designed to provide professional first responders or bystanders with the products they need to stop life-threatening bleeding.
Bleeding control kits can help control excessive bleeding caused by gunshot wounds, stabbing, or crushing. These specialized kits are specifically designed to stop heavy bleeding and hemorrhaging and cannot treat burns, frostbite, or minor cuts and abrasions.
Bleeding control kits provide rescuers and bystanders with immediate access to the products they need to save lives. #911
