The 520-FR First Responder Kit includes two Hema-Seal 8x10 trauma pads specifically designed for rapid bleeding control in emergency situations. Hema-Seal dressings contain hemostatic agents that promote faster clotting compared to standard gauze, making them essential for first responders dealing with severe trauma or penetrating injuries. This kit combines Hema-Seal pads with traditional trauma dressings (5"x9" and 8"x10"), sterile gauze, and a 12"x30" trauma dressing to give you multiple options for managing different wound severities in the field.

At 16"L x 8"H x 7.5"W and weighing approximately 7 lbs, it fits easily in patrol car trunks, fire engine compartments, ambulance side storage, or even under seats in larger response vehicles. The semi-rigid Cordura Nylon construction prevents crushing, while the padded shoulder strap and handle allow for rapid grab-and-go deployment when responding to calls. The bag's compact footprint makes it ideal for law enforcement, fire departments, and EMS units that need comprehensive trauma supplies without sacrificing vehicle storage space.
