The FAO First Aid & Bleeding Control Kit (SKU 91554) is designed as a dual-purpose system that bridges everyday first aid with critical trauma response. The windlass-style tourniquet handles life-threatening limb bleeding by restricting blood flow, while the Hema-Seal 8" x 10" trauma pad provides direct pressure and absorption for severe wounds on the torso or areas where tourniquets can't be applied. This combination ensures you're prepared for multiple types of severe bleeding emergencies, from vehicle accidents to workplace injuries, making it more comprehensive than standard first aid kits.

While the FAO-91554 features wall-mounting capability for stationary workplace use, its dimensions (3.25" x 13" x 11.5") and 2.2 lb weight make it too large for most glove boxes. However, the "grab and go" design with a durable plastic case and clear front makes it perfect for storing in a truck cab, under a seat, or in a fleet vehicle's cargo area. The clear-front case lets drivers quickly identify supplies during roadside emergencies without fumbling through contents.

Unlike standard OSHA-compliant kits that focus on minor workplace injuries, the FAO-91554 exceeds basic compliance by including advanced trauma supplies: hemostatic gauze for blood clotting, a windlass tourniquet, and Hema-Seal trauma dressings. While it contains all the traditional first aid items (bandages, antiseptics, gauze), it's specifically engineered for environments where severe bleeding emergencies are possible—construction sites, manufacturing facilities, or commercial fleets—giving you life-saving capabilities beyond typical workplace kits.

Yes, the 4" x 4" hemostatic gauze pad included in the FAO-91554 uses blood-clotting technology similar to what paramedics and military medics use for severe hemorrhage control. When packed into a deep wound, hemostatic gauze accelerates the body's natural clotting process, making it critical for injuries where direct pressure alone isn't enough. Combined with the Hema-Seal trauma pad and windlass tourniquet, this kit provides hospital-grade bleeding control for the critical minutes before professional help arrives.

Absolutely. The FAO First Aid & Bleeding Control Kit is versatile enough to serve as a primary comprehensive kit for small offices (covering 103 pieces for minor injuries and trauma) or as a robust vehicle emergency kit. The wall-mountable case works great for stationary office use where quick access is needed, while the same durable plastic case with clear front makes it ideal for "grab and go" roadside emergencies in personal vehicles or commercial fleets. Just ensure you check expiration dates regularly regardless of where it's stored.
