Gunshot Trauma First Aid Kit

Gunshot Trauma Kit

The Elite First Aid Gunshot Trauma Kit packs the supplies for the first minutes after a penetrating injury into one zippered pouch: bleeding control, a chest seal, wound packing and the tools to get to the wound. It is sized to ride in a range bag, glovebox or pack, so it is on hand when a gunshot, deep laceration or other serious injury happens far from an ambulance. Shooters, hunters, range officers and anyone who keeps a dedicated trauma kit will find the essentials here without the bulk of a general first aid box.

Features

• Hook-And-Loop Tourniquet — A strap-style tourniquet that wraps above a limb wound and tightens to stop arterial bleeding.
• QuikClot 1st Response 25g — A hemostatic dressing, treated to speed clotting, in a 25 g X-ray detectable format for packing a bleeding wound.
• Asherman Chest Seal — A vented occlusive seal that covers a penetrating chest wound, letting air escape while stopping it from being drawn back in.
• BleedStop Bandage — A compression bandage for applying direct pressure and holding a dressing firmly in place.
• Petrolatum Gauze Dressing — Gauze impregnated with petroleum jelly that seals over a wound and does not stick to it.
• Absorbent Dressings — Two 5 x 9 in (12.7 x 22.9 cm) ABD pads and eight 4 x 4 in gauze sponges soak up heavy bleeding and pack wounds.
• 3 In Cohesive Bandage — Self-adhering wrap that sticks to itself rather than to skin, so it holds dressings without clips or tape.
• EMT Shears — Angled trauma shears with a blunt tip that cut through clothing quickly without catching the skin underneath.
• Protection And Cleaning — Two pairs of nitrile gloves, a CPR face shield and four BZK antiseptic wipes are included for the person giving care.

The Pouch And Contents

Everything stores in a compact nylon pouch with a dual-pull zipper and paracord pull tabs, which are easy to grab with gloved or shaking hands. The contents list is printed on a label on the front, so you can check the kit at a glance and know what to restock after use. Sterile items come in their original sealed packaging from medical suppliers including Teleflex (Rusch) and QuikClot. Tourniquets, chest seals and hemostatic dressings work best in trained hands, so pairing this kit with a bleeding-control course is worth the time.
