What is a bleed control kit?

A bleed control kit contains the equipment to stop severe, life-threatening bleeding before the emergency services arrive typically a tourniquet, a haemostatic (blood-clotting) dressing, wound-packing gauze, a trauma dressing and gloves.

A typical bleed control kit contains one or more windlass tourniquets, a haemostatic dressing, wound-packing gauze, a large trauma dressing, a foil blanket, nitrile gloves, trauma shears and simple instructions.

What is the difference between a first aid kit and a trauma or bleed kit?

A standard first aid kit handles everyday injuries such as cuts, grazes and minor wounds.
