Why use the thigh laceration trainer TRAUMAKIT EDU in bleeding control courses?
With life-threatening bleeding, a quick response matters, and theory alone cannot train it. Thigh laceration trainer TRAUMAKIT EDU lets you repeat wound packing with gauze and focus on hand movements before the Trainee faces a real incident.
The model is used in tactical medicine courses (TCCC, TECC, TEMS), in medical rescue courses (PHTLS, ALS) and in first aid classes. The equipment of massive bleeding kits is described in the article A first aid kit ready for massive bleeding – on the equipment and availability of first aid kits. The suction cup in the base keeps the thigh laceration trainer TRAUMAKIT EDU in place on the surface during wound packing practice.
How to practise on the trainer and how to act in massive bleeding
The bottle has a stopper, and the absorbent pad from the set is useful when practising with artificial blood.
In a real incident, first make sure you are safe and call for help on 999 or 112. In massive bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound, and when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening, apply a tourniquet. The details are covered in Chapter II – Massive bleeding – first aid.
