First Aid Shoppe, providers of specialized first air and survival gear and kits, announced today that their ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet has risen to the top 10 for the tourniquets category on Amazon. The ResQue 1st Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet is an advanced emergency tourniquet that is intended for use in a bleeding emergency. It contains key items that can be used to stabilize a victim in a severe bleeding situation.
"We've broken into some rare territory," says Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe. "With the release of this kit we moved steadily upward on Amazon toward that spot, and now that we've arrived we've been holding steady. This is a very popular kit, as it's compact, easy to keep on hand, and it has the key items needed to handle a really bad bleeding injury right on the scene."
The items in the kit include an Advanced Clotting Sponge, employing a hemostatic (clotting) agent used by police and first responders, along with the SWAT-T tourniquet (Stretch Wrap And Tuck), so named for the Special Weapons And Tactics teams it was also intended for. The tourniquet wraps high in the groin or armpit area, and is used to clamp down on and reduce or stop arterial bleeding. Together these two items can treat most sources of severe bleeding, the idea being to stabilize a victim until help can arrive.
"This kit is for when the chips are down," says Ms. Loehwing. "It's not a general first aid kit, and it doesn't have band aids. This is not for a skinned knee or a bug bite. This is for when you've got a real situation and help is still minutes away and you need to do something fast. With the items in this kit you might very well save a life."
The Trauma Kit With SWAT-T Tourniquet by First Aid Shoppe has reached the top 10 for its specific category on Amazon. It comes with a full manufacturer satisfaction guarantee.
