ResQ-Pak

Best Camping Gear Reviews and Police Equipment Reviews recently had the opportunity to review a first aid product. The product is called ResQ-Pak and it is an emergency trauma kit. Many police officers will find the ResQ-Pak handly in case of major trauma scenes. What's great about the ResQ-Pak's are they are very compact allowing a police officer or anybody for that matter to always carry one.

When it comes to camping gear, ResQ-Pak makes an emergency trauma kit that is perfect for fishing, hunting, or any outdoors activity. The kit includes the following:

25g Quik–Clot® Sport™
Tegaderm 2 3/8" x 2 3/4" dressing
5" x 9" ABD pad
4" x 75" roll bandage
40" x 40" x 56" triangular bandage
two sets 4" x 3" cover sponges
combat medic tape
non-latex gloves
rescue whistle
mylar blanket

So how does ResQ-Pak work? With all the supplies in one easy to get package you have what you need at your hands. When a person comes upon or gets a traumatic injury, he or she can use the Quik-Clot to stop the bleeding. In the camping gear kit, one would hold the Quik-Clot firmly to the injury for at least 5 minutes while the blood clots. Then using the other supplies bandage it up and get medical treatment as soon as possible.

ResQ-Pak is a great kit to always have with you. You never know when you are going to come across an injured hiker and the ResQ-Pak can save their life!
