RS PRO introduces the critical injury first aid kit, designed to be a supplement for standard first aid kits. These critical injury first aid kits are specifically designed for when there is a serious risk of severe traumatic injury, including supplies specifically designed to treat traumatic and life-threatening bleeds. This first aid mass critical injury kit includes scissors, disposable gloves, foil blankets, SAM XT emergency tourniquets to be used when direct pressure is not enough to restrict blood flow, haemostatic dressings designed to stop life-threatening bleeds fast and trauma dressings that will absorb up to ten times their weight. This emergency bag is designed to be stocked alongside other first aid kits that are equipped with supplies for more common injuries for example standard first aid kits, biohazard kits and burn kits. This critical injury kit is easily identifiable as it is stocked in a red emergency bag making it easy to spot and transport in an emergency situation.

It is essential to have first aid supplies in a workspace where severe traumatic injuries could occur. Critical injury kits are designed to be stocked in environments where severe life-threatening injuries could come as a result of knife wounds, gunshots, blast injuries, amputation and severe lacerations. Due to this, they will be stocked in workplaces that deal with heavy machinery, cutting equipment, power tools and exotic animals such as
Automotive industry
Zoo
Emergency services
Building sites
Aerospace

If wounds are severe someone should call for help whilst first aid is being administered.
