About Emergency Bleed Control Kits
The bleed kits were developed by West Midlands Ambulance Service, leading consultants from the Trauma Network and the Daniel Baird Foundation to provide a kit of medical equipment that can be easily used by the public, but can also control a catastrophic bleed.
The kits are widely used across the country and have been used on several occasions to save a patients life.
