Take pride in your boat first aid kit! Being prepared counts for a lot. With emergency services hours away by helicopter, your medical needs have to be managed in all situations.
Your crew depend on this forward planning each time they sail. What an awful feeling it would be not to have the necessary response.
Emergencies fall in to five categories.
- CPR
- Fractures & Sprains
- Burns
- Bleeding
- Wounds
Why not have all five responses in one place?
Remember if you need to treat someone who is injured, you must be able to attend to them until help arrives.
If you are a small - medium sized sailboat then your boat first aid kit must reflect that:
- Are you a weekend sailor?
- Do you stay mainly inshore?
- How many crew do you usually sail with?
Stabalizing a wound or injury is what is required
Here is a durable solution to your medical emergency
The Marine 1000 Series contains enough medical supplies for ten people for ten days. Of course you cannot predicate injuries, better to have a larger kit than not have enough to go round.
Each of the six modules is contained in a clearly marked wrap. The sixth one contains medications. The contents are in re seal able bags.
Each complete kit has three hundred and thirty pieces.
- The box itself is very strong
- It is highly visible
- and has a non slip surface
