The SWAT-Tourniquet™ is a unique and multipurpose dressing. Its name provides a description for usage. Stretch, Wrap, and Tuck, but also the communities for whom it was developed - military and civilian Special Weapons and Tactics teams. These teams operate in an environment that has a high incidence of penetrating trauma, and most (two-thirds) of preventable deaths in the operational environment are from extremity bleeding.The SWAT T allows a more rapid means to control extremity bleeding and allows application higher into the groin and axilla than other tourniquets. Its ease of application is one of its greatest benefits; individuals can effectively apply it in seconds with little to no prior training. At a third of the cost and weight of other combat-used tourniquets, this tourniquet should find its way forward with every tactical operator. The SWAT-T™ is a latex-free multipurpose device!Other tourniquets are a one-use device. As we know the operational environment requires personnel and equipment to be both durable and versatile. The SWAT-T is a durable tourniquet. It has been advanced aged and heat/cold tested.Tourniquet: A tourniquet is to be applied when bleeding is severe (arterial) and loss of life is of greatest concern. In most patients, tourniquets have proven to be safe for a minimum of two hours, and for up to 6 hours without problems. When used properly all tourniquets may cause loss of limb. This is a necessary risk, to bring our patients home at the end of the day. Pressure Dressing: The SWAT-T can and should be used as a pressure dressing, when hemorrhage is to be controlled, or for venous and capillary oozing. Place your sterile dressing (or standard gauze) then wrap the SWAT-T around the extremity. You can then tuck or tape the end, which will maintain pressure on the wound (preventing further contamination and re-bleeding). If the endpoints are met on the dressing you may have a tourniquet and should check for good blood return in the extremity (pulse and capillary refill), or you risk the complications associated with all tourniquets. Pressure dressings should be left in place until definitive wound management can be accomplished.Elastic Bandage: The SWAT-T can and should be used as an elastic bandage (example: ACE Wrap). Use the dressing to hold ice near sprains and strains, stabilize a twisted knee/ankle, or to sling a shoulder. The dressing can also be used to loosely apply pressure across the chest or abdomen. This can be to help close and protect wounds, contain abdominal contents in evisceration, or to assist in stabilization of the pelvis in blunt pelvic trauma. The SWAT-T can be used to splint an extremity to the body, other leg, or to a rigid object for immobilization. Background: The SWAT-T was developed by a former Operator/Medic with 14 years experience in Operational Medicine -former USAF Para-rescue Journeyman (Para-Jumper or PJ)), Contractor DOJ/FBI SWAT Operations, National Registry Paramedic, and Emergency Medicine Physician.Package Dimensions: 6" H x 3" W x 1/2" DProduct dimensions (before stretch): 4" x 56"Weight: 4 oz

Extremely handy to have when needed. Took some getting familiar with packing, but after a few repacks, it's easy to find and use anything that we need wherever we happen to be.
I drive long distances on the daily and always thought I should get a kit for my vehicle. What is provided in this kit is more than what I expected and highly recommend it to anyone!
This specific kit suits all needs from extremely hazardous industries to emergency assistance. Nothing feels better than being prepared to save a life.
I ordered the Adventure Lite for a gift. It’s the perfect size to throw in a dry bag for some white water action or a pack for a quick Northeast 111.
Specifically, it’s small enough that my adventurer sibling will actually toss it in his pack, vs pretending that he did. I think he’ll be pleased that he now has the supplies he needs for his “Safety? What’s that?!” lifestyle.
These are genuine and the price is as reasonable as it gets. They work exceptionally well and are an essential addition to ANY first aid kit. However, do check the expiration date, as similar to food, while it may not necessarily be harmful (and can still be used) after the expiration date, it is not guaranteed.
Bout it to replace the one I utilized two weeks ago. While trimming a shed in the yard, I accidentally ran my miter saw through the outside of my left forearm, just to the left of my wrist bone. Realizing the situation, I calmly walked to the front of the house where my wife was located. I asked her to retrieve my ITS first aid kit from the prepared bag in my truck, and I promptly applied the dressing to the wound. By the time we reached urgent care, the bleeding had almost completely ceased.
As a Physician Assistant and avid sheep hunter, this kit is perfect. It is light but it also carries all of the essential items to treat the most common injuries and illnesses encountered in the backcountry!
Busted out the first aid kit last night to change a dressing on my back. My wife goes “This first aid kid is legit! Buy me one for my car.” So now I’m buying a second.
Delivered very quickly. Excellent condition and airtight seal protecting the products. So far I've ordered 2 sets. 1 for my own kit and another sent to a volunteer first responder
The kits are well built, laid out, and thought out. From professionals who were in life or death situations and had to use first aid regularly to save their friends lives.
There is nothing more important than being prepared, having the right tools, and this first aid kit should be in every home, office, and vehicle.
Of all the Israeli type bandages Ive seen, and Im familiar with about six different brands, this is by far the best. The packaging is very compact, the best Ive seen. When youre packing a first aid kit for EDC, size matters and this one takes first prize. Expiration date is out six years, also best Ive seen. Price was very reasonable. I usually write fairly long reviews, but this one is easily summed up in just six words: Very highly recommended, buy this product.
