TRAUMA KIT backpack 8 is a modular backpack designed to hold eight selected TRAUMA KIT modules. It is offered without equipment, so the modules have to be chosen separately. Its dimensions are 46cm x 28cm x 10cm, and its approximate capacity is around 20 litres.
The backpack is made of Oxford fabric. The structure of its fibres gives high resistance to abrasion and high resistance to weather conditions, and the fabric itself is very light. The YKK coil main zip is covered by a flap, which additionally protects the interior against dust, sand and rain. The construction uses ITW NEXUS buckles and plastic elements, Alfatex hook-and-loop fasteners, Pasamon polyamide webbing and AMANN thread.
The backpack comes in two colours: orange and green. The technical data, that is the dimensions, capacity, material and components, are the same in both versions. The modular construction is intended to ensure comfort of work in the stressful conditions of a rescue operation, and the backpack can be used, among other things, to provide safety cover for car rallies and cycling competitions. TRAUMA KIT backpack 8 has dimensions of 46cm x 28cm x 10cm and an approximate capacity of around 20 litres.
Why choose TRAUMA KIT backpack 8?
This backpack gives you freedom in choosing the contents. You do not get a ready-made kit, but an empty structure for eight TRAUMA KIT modules, so you decide yourself which modules go into it. This way the equipment can be matched to the place where the backpack will be used and to the people who will use it. The main zip in the TRAUMA KIT backpack 8 is a coil zip covered by a flap, which protects the interior against dust, sand and rain.
Protection of the interior is also important. The main zip is a coil zip covered by a flap, which limits the ingress of dust, sand and rain, and the Oxford fabric is resistant to abrasion and weather conditions. When planning a purchase, it is worth remembering the dimensions of 46cm x 28cm x 10cm: the backpack has a capacity of around 20 litres.
How to prepare the backpack for use?
Before the first trip, put together a set of eight modules and check that they fit in the backpack. Arrange the contents so that everyone who may reach for the backpack knows where the individual modules are. Medical equipment should be used by a person who knows what it is for.
In the event of an incident, first make sure of your own safety and call for help on 999 or 112. In the case of massive bleeding, apply direct pressure, and when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening, apply a tourniquet. You can read more about how to choose the equipment in the article A first aid kit ready for massive bleeding, and the procedure itself is described in Chapter II – Massive bleeding – first aid.
