MediTacIntermediate Bleeding Control Pack Feat. SWAT-T Tourniquet, Emergency Bandage and Compressed Gauze Dressing - Intermediate

Received the kit quickly great to have on hand or just to resupply. Grab a CAT tourniquet and complete the kit

I am a teacher and one of our SROs discussed that a bleed control pack can do no good if it is two halls over. I checked this one with the school nurse and she said this is exactly what they can legally have. My wife is also a teacher and I got each of us one!

Made a kit for my vehicle in case I ever need it. I hope not to ever need it.

As a nurse, I like to be well stocked on medical supplies. I never know when I will need them. I have been in situations where I was so happy to have extra medical supplies with me. This kit is no different. Includes the essentials for traumatic blood loss situations. This kit includes a tourniquet, an Israeli pressure bandage, 2 compression gauze, a mylar survival blanket, shears, gloves, a permanent marker and 3 antiseptic wipes. Package includes our Quick Tear feature for easy access. Good quality and good for emergencies. I took one star off because this would be better if it came in a bag with a zipper or some sort of storage bag. I will leave it in the plastic bag as is for now. The plastic bag is not going to be so durable long-term.

I bought this kit now that I am carrying a firearm, and I added more to the kit, more guaze and an israeli compression bandages and store all of it into a .50 cal. ammo can in my trunk. You never know what may happen in a life or death situation, and even for vehicle accidents this kit would come in handly.

Not sure how to put this but this is one of those kits that I hope and pray that I will not have to use on anyone. It's definitely a must have to keep in my first aid tool box or cabinet, just the re-assurance knowing that it's there in case of emergency is somewhat of a relief. To be honest, this is my very first time ever seeing a real life tourniquet, I mean I have seen it on TV and movies but never first hand. Needless to say, I am curious to see how it works so I will be at the very least mentally prepared (I hope) in case I need to use it on someone. Otherwise, it will not be as effective or that helpful. Basically, it's just like a regular heavy duty velcro strap with a really good strong metal buckle and windlass clip designed for a one handed use. The inner belt or layer of this velcro strap is a very strong and durable cloth like material that loops through the center of the metal or iron rod located at the windlass clip used for further tightening the tourniquet just by simply turning the iron rod clockwise or anti-clockwise to wring in the cloth. This iron rod, once tighten can be strapped into the windlass clip by a white velcro strap with the word TIME written on and space for you to mark the time of used on for medical purposes. Very impressive to see first hand, I have to admit. Also in the package is an emergency blanket, emergency bandages, shear, gloves, alcohol wipes, permanent marker, and two compressed gauzes that can be used to quickly absorb blood and control hemorrhage. Pretty much everything you need to stop bleeding in case of emergency is included in this package, and like I said before, lets hope we will not have to use it. Other than that, it's definitely a must have.

The media could not be loaded.  This Bleeding Control Kit contains the items I would need if I were bleeding a lot and needed to treat it.I like how sturdy the tourniquet felt when I applied it to my leg. There's even a marker included, so that I can write the time on the strap of the tourniquet as to when I applied it.The emergency high strength pressure bandage has the feature that if I were to drop one end of the bandage, it would not fall to the floor; instead, it has breakaway string that keeps it rolled up until I unroll that end.Once I applied the bandage, I felt excellent compression from the bandage.The shears are sharp; I used it to cut open the sealed pack that enclosed the bandage.The mylar blanket, wipes and gloves are useful additions as well.Overall, this Meditac bleeding control kit is a vital addition to our first-aid gear.

In this day and age it is so important to be prepared. With shootings on the rise and more people carrying guns I would rather have it and not need it than wish I could have done something. It would have been nice if this came in a bag, but the plastic covering this is thick and will stand up to a lot. I keep this in the trunk of my car for those times that I don't want to have to use it.
