Quick Overview

The Rothco Trauma Kit Backpack is a large first aid kit that carries over 190 emergency supplies, sorted into five supply groups from airway to topical, in a 600D polyester Medium Transport Pack for home or outdoor use.

Rothco groups the supplies by need. Airway: a CPR shield, oral airways and ammonia inhalants. Bleeding: multi-trauma dressings, BleedStop bandages, a tourniquet, abdominal pads and sterile gauze. Specialty: a stethoscope, hemostats, sutures, a scalpel handle and blades, EMT shears and gloves. Another group holds a cervical collar, a universal splint, casualty blankets and instant ice packs. Topical: antiseptic wipes, skin and eye wash, calamine lotion and After Bite wipes.

Counts include 3 multi-trauma dressings 12" x 30", 2 BleedStop bandages, 1 tourniquet, 5 abdominal pads, 5 sterile gauze, 2 oral airways, 5 ammonia inhalants, 2 hemostats, 2 sutures, 8 pairs of gloves, 2 casualty blankets, 2 instant ice packs and 45 antiseptic wipes. The pack measures 17" x 10" x 9" in Black, Blue, Coyote Brown, MultiCam, Olive Drab, Red or Woodland Camo; Black is item 1105-BK.

Stage the pack where your household or group can reach it, inspect it on a set schedule and after every use, and check any dates printed on the components. Restock each item used from the contents list before the pack goes back in place.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE PACK: Pick one spot your household or group can reach, such as a hall closet, a vehicle or a gear room. Plan shelf or floor space that fits the 17" x 10" x 9" pack.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the pack and check every item against the contents list, group by group, from the CPR shield to the After Bite wipes. Record anything missing before the pack goes into service.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Walk through the pack with everyone who may use it, so each person knows where the gloves, EMT shears, dressings, cervical collar and ice packs sit. Keep each group in the same place every time you repack.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Check the area for hazards before you approach anyone. Call 911 or activate EMS, then bring the pack to the person.

5. OPEN, THEN GLOVE UP: Open the pack and put on a pair of its gloves before you reach for other items. With 8 pairs inside, another helper can glove up from the same pack.

6. USE COMPONENTS BY NAME: Reach for each item by its name, such as a multi-trauma dressing, a BleedStop bandage or an instant ice pack, and use it as its own packaging directs. Leave the sutures, scalpel, hemostats and tourniquet to people trained to use them.

7. REPORT AND HAND OFF: Tell the arriving EMS crew what happened and which items you used. Keep opened wrappers together so the restock list reflects what left the pack.

8. RESTOCK AND LOG: Replace every item used or opened from the contents list, check any dates printed on the components, and log the restock before the pack goes back in place.
