New compact first aid kits

Just in Case First Aid Kits Now Available

We’ve launched a new set of compact First Aid Kits under the Just in Case range. These are for everyday mishaps, minor carnage, and the kind of chaos that always seems to happen five minutes after someone says “we’ll be fine.”

Here’s what’s in the lineup:

Cat’s Adventure First Aid Kit in a waterproof resealable bag, designed for active cats and pet owners on the go

Cat First Aid Kit

For cats that travel, cats that work, and cats that ride shotgun like they own the place. Whether they live in a van, patrol a warehouse, or just enjoy leaping into situations they can’t get back out of, this kit’s got the basics to get you sorted.

Golfer’s First Aid Kit

Because golf isn’t as gentle as people make out. This one’s for blisters, cuts, mystery bruises, and the occasional battle with a rogue bramble or short temper. For those that think golf is a full contact sport.

Golfer’s First Aid Kit Plus in a waterproof resealable bag, includes Axiostat for treating bleeding during golf-related injuries

Fisherman’s First Aid Kit in a waterproof resealable Mylar bag with printed design, compact and ready for outdoor use

Fisherman’s First Aid Kit

If your relaxing day by the water turned into a fishy scrap, this is for you. Covers slips, fins, hooks, and those “don’t ask” moments.

Just in Case Plus Kits

Just in Case Plus Kits

These include Axiostat, a haemostat that helps stop bleeding fast. Great if you don’t need a full trauma kit but want more than a plaster and some crossed fingers. Good for walkers, those on Warfarin and people who regularly say “I’ve done this loads of times” just before something goes wrong.

Axiostat 8x8cm Haemostat Patch

The whole range is now live on the site under Just in Case Kits

Small enough to stash anywhere. Useful enough to actually make a difference.

#CELOX4UKRAINE

Today, we launched #CELOX4UKRAINE. In the UK we are fortunate that we can buy haemostats for our first aid kits. We are, hopefully, unlikely to use them. Compared to other first aid kit items, it is expensive. However, if you need to use it at the retail price of £46.80 and you saved a life or your life was saved, the cost is immaterial, right? Privilege is being able to buy this product and then throwing it away when it expires. The Health and Safety Executive states it should be updated in your first aid kits. I personally wouldn’t push my luck. Therefore, I would replace it.

I like to work so everyone wins. If your Celox Z Fold Rapid has 6 month expiry date left on it, contact me on WhatsApp 07931 360328 to show me the packet. If it looks OK, you can post it to me. I will then send you a very discounted, straight-from-the-distributor replacement pack. Typically these have a 5 year shelf life.

Since the war in Ukraine started I have been working with a network of volunteers. They are doing an incredible job of fundraising. Sadly, a significant amount of the haemostats, tourniquets and Trauma dressings are used not long after arriving in Ukraine. A high percentage of the products are not just going to the front line but to families.
