Rapid Tourniquet Control – Thanks to Tourni-Key Plus
Tourni-Key Plus secures by twisting the device into the knot of an improvised tourniquet made from clothing until bleeding stops or slows. The simple twist action converts common fabric into a effective limb tourniquet.
Quick application helps reduce blood loss from major limb injuries, making on-scene control faster and more reliable for a single responder.
Accelerated Clotting – With Chito-Sam 100 haemostatic dressing
Chito-Sam 100 incorporates haemostatic material designed to promote clot formation when applied to a severe bleed, intended to be used alongside pressure dressings. The dressing encourages rapid clotting at the wound site.
Improved clotting capability increases the chance of stabilising heavy bleeding until emergency services arrive, particularly useful in traumatic limb injuries.
High-absorbency Dressings – With specialist Trauma Dressings
Trauma Dressings in the kit are super-absorbent, described as thicker and more robust than regular dressings and capable of absorbing over ten times their own weight in fluid. The design helps manage large blood loss.
Large-capacity absorption reduces saturation risk and helps maintain pressure on wounds, giving extra time to get a casualty to professional care.
