BLEEDING CONTROL KITS, GUNSHOT WOUND KITS, AND BULLET WOUND FIRST AID KITS
Did you know that gunshot wound victims can bleed out and die in less than 5 minutes? LifeSecure assembles America’s most comprehensive bleeding control kits utilizing BleedStop for gunshot wound treatment kits. By preparing with a gunshot wound trauma kit, you may be able to save a life while waiting for a first responder to arrive on the scene.
It takes time for emergency responders to arrive on the scene. Immediate responders can save lives during:
Shootings • Terrorist attacks • Disasters • Accidents
Having a bleeding control kit or a gunshot wound trauma kit can stop or lessen bleeding before additional medical care can be provided. Any time someone has been shot, it is imperative to stop excessive bleeding as quickly as possible. Businesses, churches, and other houses of worship, schools, universities, and facilities of all kinds must have gunshot wound kits readily available on-site. Our MobileAid Bleed-STOP bleeding control kits allow you to respond immediately for multiple people in an active shooter emergency situation.
