Single-person kit designed to stop catastrophic bleeding from traumatic limb injuries. Contains a tourniquet, Chito-Sam 100 haemostatic dressing and specialist trauma dressings in a carry case.
Rapid limb haemorrhage control – With emergency tourniquet
Emergency Tourniquet applies targeted pressure to a limb to halt excessive arterial or venous bleeding and allow time for further stabilisation. The tourniquet is intended for severe limb injuries where pressure dressings alone are insufficient.
Enables immediate control of life-threatening limb bleeds so a casualty can be stabilised before ambulance arrival. Suitable for single-rescuer intervention in high-risk environments.
Accelerated clotting on deep wounds – Thanks to Chito-Sam 100 haemostatic dressing
Chito-Sam 100 is a haemostatic dressing designed to promote rapid haemostasis when applied directly to a bleeding wound, used alongside pressure or a tourniquet. The dressing is intended to assist clot formation on severe bleeds.
Helps reduce ongoing blood loss and improves the chances of stabilising a casualty at the scene. Works alongside pressure techniques to make further care more effective.
Handles heavy blood loss – With specialist super-absorbent trauma dressings
Trauma dressings in the kit are thicker and more robust than standard dressings and are capable of absorbing over ten times their own weight in fluid. Designed for high-pressure applications on catastrophic bleeds.
Reduces the need for frequent dressing changes during initial response and manages heavy bleeding reliably. Practical for public places and workplaces where quick absorption is essential.
