Assurance Snake Bite Plus Pink

You might not be the one digging through the car for this snake bite kit — it might be whoever's with you, panicking, some one who's never opened a snake bite first aid kit before. This snake bandage kit  and everything with it sits in hi-vis pink , so when someone else has to find your snake bite kit fast, that colour is the difference between five seconds and fifty.

• 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 pressure immobilisation 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 with this snake bite bandage kit 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 snake bite 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 snake bite bandage — you won't remember it later, and the hospital will need it.
• Aluminium foam splint — a bonus that goes beyond snake bites It moulds around an arm or a leg to keep a bitten limb still, and it works just as well on a suspected fracture. Not the reason to buy this snake bite kit, but a genuine extra if someone takes a fall.

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.
