Fast action saves lives—especially when it comes to using bleeding control kits.
Here are quick tips to improve their effectiveness:
• Apply the tourniquet 2-3 inches above the wound, never over a joint.
• Tighten until bleeding stops—don't hesitate.
• Layer your control: use hemostatic gauze under pressure dressings for stubborn bleeds.
• Always have a backup tourniquet ready—one is rarely enough.
• Train regularly. Muscle memory beats panic.
When every second counts, knowing these steps makes the difference between life and death.
Be prepared. Be confident. Equip yourself with MED-TAC's trusted bleeding control kits designed by veterans, for heroes.
Your readiness is their survival.
