Description
Penetrating trauma from gunshot or stab wounds is a leading cause of preventable death — and the window for effective intervention is narrow. The Gunshot / Stab Wound Kit is a focused, purpose-built response kit containing the specific supplies needed to manage penetrating injuries in the critical minutes before emergency medical services arrive.
The centrepiece of this kit is the flutter valve chest wound seal, designed to manage open pneumothorax — the sucking chest wound that can result from penetrating chest trauma. By sealing the wound and allowing air to escape without being drawn back in, it addresses one of the most immediately life-threatening complications of a chest injury. This single item elevates this kit well beyond general first aid and into the territory of genuine trauma response.
Wound packing and coverage is handled by a comprehensive selection of first aid dressings in three sizes — No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 — providing options for wounds of varying severity and location. Sterile gauze swabs, cotton wool balls, and a plaster roll give you additional packing and dressing material for high-volume bleeds, while antiseptic solution supports wound cleaning where the situation allows. A triangular bandage offers versatile support and pressure application, first aid scissors allow rapid clothing removal to expose injuries quickly, and two pairs of examination gloves ensure hygienic treatment throughout. The CPR mouthpiece prepares you for the worst-case scenario, and the clear PVC bag keeps everything contained, visible, and accessible under pressure.
This kit is an essential addition to any security professional’s kit bag, shooting range first aid station, vehicle emergency pack, or home of a legally armed individual. When the stakes are highest, this is the kit that gives you something to work with.
Please note: The contents of this kit are intended to support trained first aiders and medical personnel. We strongly encourage all users to complete a recognised tactical or emergency first aid course covering penetrating trauma management.
