Bleeding Control Kit | Vacuum Sealed | STB

Stop the Bleed. Be Ready to Act. The NAR® Bleeding Control Kit — STB puts professional-grade bleeding control within arm’s reach. Severe bleeding can turn fatal in minutes. EMS usually takes longer than that. This kit is built to close the gap, using the same C-A-T® tourniquet and QuikClot® hemostatic dressing carried by U.S. military units. The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma recommends tourniquets and hemostatic dressings for severe bleeding — this kit carries both. What It Is (and What It Isn’t) This is a focused bleeding control kit—not a boo-boo kit. It’s purpose-built for major hemorrhage: tourniquet application, wound packing with hemostatic gauze, and direct pressure with a trauma dressing. It is not a general first aid kit for cuts, scrapes, headaches, or stomach issues. If you want trauma capability that’s ready when an accident, workplace incident, or roadside emergency happens, this is it. Why It Belongs Wherever You Are Most preventable trauma deaths come from uncontrolled bleeding, and they can happen anywhere—on the road, at work, on the job site, or in public. The STB kit is sealed in a ruggedized, vacuum-packed pouch that stows easily in a glovebox, desk drawer, range bag, or backpack and stays protected until the moment you need it. Illustrated “Just in Time” instructions give a clear visual reference under stress. What You Get Bleeding control: 1× C-A-T® tourniquet (orange), 1× QuikClot® hemostatic bleeding control dressing, 1× 4 in.

Act: Call 911, apply the tourniquet or pack and pressure the wound per your training, and stay with the injured person until help arrives. Before You Buy “Is it the real thing?” Yes—genuine C-A-T® and QuikClot® components from North American Rescue, not off-brand substitutes. “I’m not trained.” The kit includes illustrated instructions, and we strongly recommend taking a Stop the Bleed® course. Most are short, and many are offered free locally. The gear only works as well as the person using it. “Will it fit where I need it?” The vacuum-sealed pouch is compact—roughly 7 × 5 × 2.5 in and about 8 oz—so it travels almost anywhere. Who It’s For Prepared families, commuters, teachers, coaches, range members, off-duty professionals, and CERT/SRO and community responders—anyone who wants to be ready to help in the first minutes of a bleeding emergency.

Flat Responder ETD, trauma shears, nitrile gloves, a marker, and illustrated instructions—authentic NAR® components. Do I need training, and is it HSA/FSA eligible? Illustrated instructions are included, and Stop the Bleed®-style training is strongly recommended. This kit is HSA/FSA eligible—use your HSA/FSA card at checkout or submit your receipt per your plan’s rules. How long does it keep, and how do I know when to replace it? The vacuum seal protects the contents until you open it. Check the component expiration dates printed on the packaging, and replace the kit or its components once anything expires. Once the seal is broken, plan on restocking—the pouch does not reseal. For preparedness and educational use. This product does not replace professional medical care or hands-on training.
