Trauma Bleed Control Kit
The Trauma Bleed Control Kit is a compact first aid kit designed to help with a fast response to life-threatening bleeding. The kit includes a WoundClot haemostatic gauze, a Code Red tourniquet and a medium trauma dressing in one pouch so trained first aiders can find the equipment they need quickly when waiting for emergency services to arrive on the scene.
Desgined with remote working in mind, the kit is easy to carry in a response bag or keep with first aid supplies in a work vehicle. It supplements everyday first aid supplies with equipment for severe bleeding.

- Medium trauma dressing helps apply and maintain pressure over a wound.
- Nitrile gloves provide a barrier between the first aider's hands and blood.
- Compact, labelled pouch keeps the equipment together and easy to identify.
- Included trauma guide provides a reference for first responders.
Who can use the trauma bleed control kit?
A colleague, lone worker or bystander may be the first person to respond to a serious injury. This kit keeps supplies in one labelled pouch so anyone on the scene can find the kit and tell the 999 call handler what's available.
The kit is the ideal solution for workplace first aiders, site response teams and people working in remote locations, such as maintenance crews, grounds teams and lone workers.
Where can it be kept?
This kit should be kept somewhere it can be reached quickly and easily in an emergency such as a work vehicle, a field response bag or a clearly marked first aid point at a workshop or site office. If your team moves between jobs, storing the equipment that travels with them helps keep it close to where they're working.
Why is it important to have a trauma bleed control kit?
A serious injury involving machinery, tools or a road traffic collision can cause rapid blood loss. On a remote site, the people already there may be the first to help. Keeping haemostatic gauze, a trauma dressing and a tourniquet together gives trained responders quick access to specialist supplies while they wait for an ambulance.
