Frequently Asked Questions
Who can use a bleed kit, and is any training required?
The bleed control kit is made for use by those with at least basic first aid training. While the items inside are user-friendly, we recommend that users undergo appropriate training to ensure the correct application of the items during emergencies for the best level of safety.
How does the haemostatic dressing work?
Haemostatic, or trauma dressings essentially accelerates the body's natural blood clotting process when applied to a bleeding wound. It can help to control severe haemorrhage by promoting a rapid blood clot formation, which is vital in traumatic injuries.
What is the purpose of the Russell Chest Seal?
The Russell Chest Seal is for treating an open chest wound. It helps prevent the entry of any air into the chest cavity, which can reduce the risk of a collapsed lung, which can be life-threatening.
Can the kit be customised to include additional items?
We also offer a Build Your Own Bleed Control First Aid Kit. This allows you to hand pick the bleed control kit's supplies to meet your needs or preferences.
Is the kit suitable for workplace environments?
The bleed control kit is perfect for workplace settings, especially those with higher risks of injury, such as factories, construction work or even farms. It serves as a great addition to a standard first aid kit, allowing for preparedness in a catastrophic bleeding emergency.
How should the components be maintained or replaced?
Regularly inspect the bleed control kit to ensure all items are not expired or are in good condition. After any use, restock the bleed kit quickly to keep it ready for emergencies.
Are there other related products available?
We also sell a range of Trauma & Bleed Kits, with a wide variety of options for different needs and environments.
