The bag contains five removable bleeding control pouches. Each pouch can be taken directly to a casualty or distributed to trained members of staff, allowing treatment to begin in several locations at the same time.
Each of the individual five pouches contains:
1 Combat application tourniquet
1 Major trauma dressing
1 Chest Seal
1 pair of trauma shears
1 pair of nitrile gloves
1 Foil blanket
1 Marker pen
1 Guidance card
The kit contains five pouches, with the aim to provide options for different types of life-threatening injury:
2 Pouches with a 6 g applicator for narrow penetrating wounds, including injuries caused by stabbing or other penetrating trauma
1 Pouch with a 15 g granule pack
2 Pouches with Z-Fold Rapid haemostatic gauze dressings for larger wounds
For shopping centres and other large premises, the complete kit can be kept in a central security office, management suite, reception area or first aid room. During an incident, the individual pouches can be removed and distributed to staff working in different parts of the building.
Kit placement should take account of the size and layout of the premises, the time required to reach the equipment and the possibility that an incident could affect more than one area. In a multi-storey shopping centre, for example, an attacker may move between floors or access routes may become unavailable. A risk assessment should therefore consider whether one kit is sufficient or whether a separate kit should be placed on each floor or within each main zone.
