What’s inside a bleed and tourniquet kit?
A good kit includes all the essential tools to stop or slow down blood loss. Our bleed and tourniquet kit elements come with things like disposable gloves, trauma dressings, gauze, protective gloves, and of course, a tourniquet.
What is a tourniquet?
A tourniquet is a device that applies pressure to a limb to control bleeding, and it’s absolutely vital in emergencies where blood loss is severe. It can really make a difference in preventing a casualty from losing too much blood before paramedics arrive. At Turtle Medical, we offer a selection of tourniquets — both emergency and tactical — so you can choose what works best for your needs.
Why are tourniquets important?
A tourniquet is an incredibly effective tool in controlling bleeding, but it’s not something to be used lightly. It should only be applied by someone who’s trained or under the direction of a 999 call handler. When you do use a tourniquet, it’s also really important to note the time it was applied as this info helps paramedics know how long the tourniquet has been in place and helps them with further treatment.
After using a tourniquet, you’ll need to replace it, so it’s always ready to go when needed. Make sure to regularly check your kit to keep it stocked and ensure that everything is in good condition. This way, you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
