H&H Medical Bleeding Control Basic Kit

Compact Bleeding Control Kit

The H&H Medical Bleeding Control Basic Kit holds the core items for stopping hemorrhage (severe, fast blood loss) from penetrating and traumatic injuries until professional care arrives. It covers three jobs: a tourniquet for limb bleeding, gauze for packing deep wounds, and a compression bandage for holding pressure. It is built for first responders and for civilians who want a bleed kit in a vest, bag or cargo pocket.

Features

• SWAT-T Tourniquet — This flat orange band (Stretch, Wrap And Tuck Tourniquet) works on limbs, and printed ovals that turn into circles show when you have stretched it tight enough.
• Multi-Purpose Dressing — The same SWAT-T band can also be wrapped over gauze to serve as a pressure dressing, as printed instructions on the band explain.
• H&H Compressed Gauze — A sterile, 6-ply crinkle cotton roll, 4.5 in by 4.1 yd stretched, is vacuum packed flat and used to pack deep penetrating wounds.
• NSN-Listed Gauze — The gauze carries NSN 6510-01-503-2117, its National Stock Number in the federal supply catalog.
• Mini Compression Bandage — An elastic wrap with a sewn-in absorbent pad covers the wound and holds steady pressure on it.
• Nitrile Gloves — A pair of black nitrile gloves protects the person giving aid from blood contact.
• Zippered Carry Pouch — A black resealable pouch with a zip closure keeps the contents together and lets you restock after use.
• Small And Light — The packed kit measures 5.75 x 3.1 x 2.25 in and weighs 7.5 oz.

Size And Carry

H&H sized the pouch to fit a BDU cargo pocket (the large thigh pocket on military-style field trousers), a vest pouch or a personal bag. It is small enough to carry every day rather than leave in a vehicle. The tourniquet stays orange and the gauze is clearly labeled, so each item is easy to find and grab under stress.
