TrueClot blood and TrueClot gauze
TrueClot gauze and TrueClot blood together form a highly innovative product for practicing wound packing techniques. The blood can be prepared warm (body temperature), providing a very realistic sensation when used in the TrueClot silicone wound models!
TrueClot blood reacts by forming lifelike “blood clots” when it comes into contact with the TrueClot gauze. This method of training comes remarkably close to real-life conditions. A must-have for every tactical operator and medical responder!
Wound packing has become one of the most essential skills in military and tactical pre-hospital trauma care. In recent years, civilian medical care has also made significant progress in this area, thanks to new insights gained from 20 years of military operations.
Victims who suffer major blood loss can lose a life-threatening amount of blood within just 1 to 1.5 minutes!
Wound packing is unquestionably a procedure that must be practiced regularly in order to develop it into a true skill!
Victims who suffer major blood loss can lose a life-threatening amount of blood within just 1 to 1.5 minutes! The so-called “junctional bleedings” — such as those in the neck, armpits, and groin — are areas where tourniquets cannot be used, and where arteries and veins are only protected by soft tissue.
People with bleedings in these areas can only be saved by those in their immediate surroundings. Direct pressure is a good technique in the first instance, but often not feasible in dangerous situations. Additionally, the casualty still needs to be evacuated to a hospital. For decades, the evacuation of bleeding casualties has been a severely underestimated problem. Covering bleeding wounds with standard dressings is not a solution if the bleeding continues unnoticed during transport to a hospital.
To use hemostatic gauze effectively, you must properly practice wound packing techniques. By training this skill, the procedure becomes more approachable and significantly increases your chances of successfully treating severe bleeding.
