Pack Options: Standard and Premium
Choose from our Standard or Premium Pack. Premium packs include Celox™ Gauze Z-Fold haemostatic dressing. These dressings have been tested in controlled environments and in action. The results show you can save lives with the use of Celox™. The dressings have Celox™ granules bonded onto the gauze, giving the dressing the same effective technology as the original Celox™ Gauze roll.
Advanced Features of the Premium Pack
The Premium pack also includes a military CAT tourniquet. The US Army use these tourniquets and deem it to be 100% effective. Since it’s introduction in 2005, the CAT tourniquet has dropped mortality rate due to extreme blood loss by 85%.* The tourniquet is a true one handed device, simply apply to the affected area, wind to stop blood flow and secure in place with the velcro strap.
Our standard pack is suitable for areas deemed as low risk. The kit includes standard haemostatic dressings, trauma dressings, and a compact military tourniquet with an aluminium rod.
