TRAUMAKIT EDU forearm laceration kit TRAUMAKIT EDU with a forearm laceration is used for practical training in controlling bleeding from an upper limb. The silicone model reproduces the structure of a laceration, and the artificial blood bag with tubing and a stopper allows you to simulate bleeding.
As a result, the course Participant does not practise on a dry model, but sees whether their actions stop the flow. This is equipment for first aid courses, courses for rescue services and medical personnel, as well as classes organised for companies, public offices and schools.
The set includes the trainer, four compressed training gauze dressings, a bag with tubing and a stopper, an absorbent pad and a transport case. The whole set weighs 3.9 kg, and the wound model alone weighs 2.2 kg. TRAUMAKIT EDU forearm laceration kit is useful on any course that covers massive bleeding.
Why choose a TRAUMAKIT EDU forearm laceration kit with bleeding simulation?
Controlling bleeding is hard to learn from a description alone. A Trainee has to feel how firmly to press on the wound and how to place the gauze, and the instructor should see the effect of these actions. Simulated bleeding gives both sides clear feedback. TRAUMAKIT EDU forearm laceration kit fits in one case together with its accessories.
The absorbent pad protects the practice area, and the case keeps the components organised between classes. You will find other practice models in the trainers.
How to control massive bleeding from a limb?
First make sure you are safe and put on gloves. Call for help on 999 or 112 and immediately press directly on the bleeding site, on the wound itself. When bleeding from a limb is life-threatening and pressure is not enough, use a tourniquet above the wound and note the time it was applied. The casualty's survival may depend on a bystander taking action, so it is worth practising these steps before they are needed.
