(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 10, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- "People who camp or hike or generally take themselves to remote and even extremely remote areas need a way to take care of themselves if they're seriously injured," says First Aid & Safety COO, Anna Loehwing. "A typical first aid kit is fine for some injuries, but for serious, life-threatening injuries something more robust is needed. Our Emergency Trauma Kit is designed for just this situation."
Clearwater based First Aid & Safety has a new Trauma Kit with items meant to handle serious injuries and life-threatening bleeding that must be stopped on the scene. As its centerpiece it contains the military-approved and deployed QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, an advanced clotting agent used to stop localized heavy bleeding quickly. QuikClot accelerates the body's natural coagulation cascade, promoting clotting within minutes of application. The hemostatic agent does not cause complications. "QuikClot is credited with helping thousands of people survive traumatic blood loss every year," says Ms. Loehwing. "It's just the sort of thing you want in your kit if you're far from anywhere and need to stop major bleeding fast. Our kit gives you the tools to treat the injury enough to keep you stablized until you can get to help or until help can arrive."
The Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid & Safety includes the QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge (also known as Combat Gauze), gloves, antiseptic wipes, gauze, tape and a sturdy nylon carrying case. Kit is compact and can be stowed easily in small areas, compartments or pouches in car, tent, boat or backpack.
"When you're outdoors, climbing mountains, riding bikes, camping hiking ... dangers can present themselves at any moment. Keeping one of these on hand ensures you're ready to handle an injury if it should happen. Our kit should give you peace of mind when we're out having fun."
The Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid & Safety is now available on Amazon.
