Quick Overview

This kit provides the essential tools for a bystander to control life-threatening bleeding from a limb using a tourniquet or from a torso/junctional wound via wound packing. It is designed for immediate intervention in high-risk environments like workshops or public access locations until professional medical help arrives.

Field Application Steps

Ensure scene safety, don nitrile gloves, and call 911.
Expose the injury to find the source of life-threatening bleeding.
For severe limb bleeding, apply the tourniquet 'high and tight' and twist the windlass until bleeding stops completely.
For torso or junctional bleeding, pack the wound with hemostatic gauze and apply firm, continuous direct pressure.
Use the marker to write the time of application on the tourniquet.
Monitor the casualty and prepare for handoff to responding EMS professionals.
