The break-glass design ensures zero-delay access during critical bleeding emergencies. Unlike traditional locked cabinets that require locating keys or remembering combinations, the attached hammer allows anyone to immediately access the Combat Situation Tourniquet, QuikClot® Bleeding Control Dressing, and other life-saving supplies within seconds. This is essential in schools, offices, and places of worship where every second counts and trained responders may not be immediately available. The cabinet still includes a key lock for routine inspections and restocking while maintaining emergency accessibility.

Yes, the Mayday Bleeding Control Station is designed for institutional environments including warehouses and industrial sites. The wall-mounted cabinet protects critical supplies like the QuikClot® dressing, Emergency Pressure Dressing, and tourniquets from dust and environmental exposure. However, for optimal shelf life of medical components, installation in climate-controlled areas or away from direct heat sources is recommended. The included wall mounting hardware supports secure installation on standard commercial walls.

The QuikClot® Bleeding Control Dressing (3" x 4') included in the MD-10360 is a hemostatic agent specifically engineered to accelerate clotting and control severe hemorrhaging that standard gauze cannot manage. Unlike regular gauze rolls or combine dressings also in this kit, QuikClot® contains kaolin—a naturally occurring mineral that activates the body's clotting cascade without generating heat. This makes it critical for penetrating trauma, deep lacerations, or arterial bleeding scenarios where a Combat Situation Tourniquet alone may not be sufficient.

This station is ideal for both placements. For maximum public access bleeding control effectiveness, install units in high-traffic public areas (hallways, lobbies, cafeterias) similar to AED placement strategies—ensuring visibility and accessibility within 60 seconds from any location. Security offices should maintain their own tactical trauma kits. The break-glass design, safety glasses, biohazard bags, and comprehensive wound care supplies make the MD-10360 specifically engineered for untrained bystander response in universities, grade schools, and community spaces.

The Mayday MD-10360 focuses on providing comprehensive medical supplies rather than training materials. However, the inclusion of items like the Sharpie (for marking tourniquet application time), CPR mouth shield, and clearly labeled components supports Stop the Bleed training protocols. We strongly recommend pairing this station installation with certified Stop the Bleed or Bleeding Control Basic courses for your staff. The HSA/FSA eligible status means organizations can use health benefit funds to purchase the station as part of their emergency preparedness plan.
