Assurance Snake Bite Kit Plus

Your instinct will be to bandage tight and hope for the best. Don't — tip to pit, tip to hip, with the pressure right, "too tight-not right", is what actually slows the venom. This snake bite kit gives you the full-length bandage to do that properly, from the bite site all the way up the limb, with a tension indicator that tells you when you've got it right instead of leaving you to guess. Whether it's just you out there or your whole family, this is the kit built to do the job properly.

• Two full-length tension indicator bandages (10cm x 10.5m each) Most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs, and a short bandage leaves the job half done. This snake bite compression bandage's printed tension indicator turns rectangles into squares the moment your pressure's right, and the full length means you're not running short partway up someone's leg.
• Cotton calico triangular bandage, heavyweight conforming bandage, nitrile gloves, and trauma shears Everything you need to immobilise the limb properly while you keep whoever's hurt calm and get 000 on the phone. Practise the pressure immobilisation technique before you need it — a free video lesson comes with this kit so you're not learning it for the first time under pressure.
• Thermal blanket, two tick removal tools, sterile gauze swab, permanent marker, and A4 instructions The thermal blanket manages shock. The tick removal tools work whether it's you, the kids, or the dog that's picked one up. Mark the bite time straight onto the bandage — you won't remember it later, and the hospital will need it.
• Aluminium foam splint — and it's not just for snake bites It moulds around an arm or a leg to keep a bitten limb still, but it works just as well on a suspected fracture. A genuine bonus if someone takes a fall, not the main reason to own this kit, but worth knowing it's covered.

Hand-assembled in Dubbo, using components from a 100% Australian-owned and operated manufacturer, and checked before it ships — backed by 19 years of remote NSW first aid training experience.
