Why does the TRAUMA KIT RW car first aid kit have two modules?
The split into modules separates two different tasks. The Injuries module is for caring for the casualty: it contains dressings, gauze, plasters, net dressings, wound closure strips, a hydrogel dressing, an eye wash set and scissors. The Accident module contains items that let you mark the scene of the accident, protect yourself from the weather and make it easier to reach the casualty: electric flares, a hi-vis vest, a head torch, a whistle, a safety hammer and a poncho. In the TRAUMA KIT RW car first aid kit you will find both the Burncare hydrogel dressing 5×15 cm and the ZPO eye wash set. TRAUMA KIT RW car first aid kit weighs 2.45 kg and is available in red and orange versions.
You will find a broader discussion of equipment for severe bleeding in the article A first aid kit ready for massive bleeding.
How to use the kit at the scene of a road incident?
First, ensure your own safety and the casualty's: put on the hi-vis vest, mark the scene with the electric flares, and use the head torch in poor light. Then call for help on 999 or 112 and put on the nitrile gloves and protective mask from the kit. Instructions are included in both modules.
In massive bleeding, direct pressure on the wound is the basis of treatment. For dressing wounds, the Injuries module contains, among other things, gauze compresses, dressing gauze, a foam bandage and elastic bandages. The rules of action are described in the article Massive haemorrhage – first aid. A bystander taking action can decide whether the casualty survives.
