No matter how fast EMS responds, it may not be fast enough, as a person can bleed to death in as little as five minutes. Rapid access to emergency bleeding control products by the public reduces time to treatment, and saves lives in incidents involving severe hemorrhage. This is the basis for the Department of Homeland Security's "Stop The Bleed" program, a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to act quickly and save lives.
 
The Rescue Essentials Stop the Bleed - Dual Treatment Kit provides two separate, identical Stop The Bleed Modules containing the medical products needed to "Stop the Bleed". This compact kit fits into most existing AED cabinets without costly modifications. With its high visibility color and clear "BLEEDING CONTROL" labeling, this kit is identifiable upon sight, reducing the response time of individuals who need to act rapidly to control the loss of blood from severely bleeding injuries.
