Most first aid kits are designed to handle minor injuries that are not life-threatening. The Trauma Pak III is a stop-the-bleed type kit with items designed to prevent the lost of blood in an emergency. A pressure trauma dressing combines gauze, trauma pad, and pressure applicator into one, easy to use emergency bandage. For more serious blood loss a windlass tourniquet is included. EMT sheers and a triangle bandage are included in the Trauma Pak III as well as a Trauma Response Instruction sheet and marker. In an emergency you may be the first responder so be prepared with the Trauma Pak III.
