A Bleed Control Kit is designed to provide immediate and effective treatment for severe bleeding when minutes matter to save a life.

A Bleed Control Kit is a specially designed emergency trauma medical kit that offers swift access to essential medical tools for first responders from the general public to manage life-threatening bleeding until professional medical help arrives. Every year, lives are lost due to traumatic bleeding, some of which could have been prevented with timely access to the right equipment.

Bleed control kits are designed to help stop life-threatening bleeding. These kits can be vital for many accidents involving a catastrophic bleed such as knife attack, car accident, work related injury in manufacturing plant or building sites.

Our goal is to ensure these life-saving kits are readily available in as many public spaces as possible like shopping centers, pubs and public transport stations. This widespread accessibility enables the public to act swiftly during crucial moments, as heroes often emerge from everyday individuals at the scene. Bleed Control Kit locations are stored in a national database, accessible by 999 phone operators, who can guide callers to the nearest kit.

Every minute matters before the emergency services arrive so I feel it is very important to get these kits out in as many places as we can.

We are using the Daniel Baird Foundation Bleed Control Kits and Cabinets for James’ legacy and when placed there will be a sign to say it’s there they will also be connected to 999.

Each Bleed Control Kit, contains vital tools such as a

Haemostatic Gauze Dressing – Works to stop life-threatening bleeding after just 60 seconds of compression with the aid of coagulation granules.
Fox Seal – A specially designed dressing for emergency management of penetrating chest wounds.
Tourniquet – Designed to stop catastrophic bleeding to limbs.
ChitoGauze XR Pro – An effective dressing for controlling severe hemorrhages.
Disposable gloves, scissors, an emergency foil blanket and CPR face mask.

By supporting this cause, we aim to make Bleed Control Kits and cabinets a ubiquitous presence, empowering the public to be immediate responders and prevent avoidable tragedies. Your contribution can play a significant role in creating safer communities and ensuring that those vital first minutes count.
