The Snake Bite Plus is the step-up from our entry-level kit — built for families, bushwalkers, rural properties, and outdoor workers who want comprehensive bite and sting coverage without carrying a full outdoor kit.
The critical difference is bandage length. Where the standard kit carries shorter rolls, the Plus includes two full-length 10.5 metre indicator bandages — enough to wrap an adult limb completely from bite site to shoulder or groin, which is what correct pressure immobilisation actually requires.
- Two full-length tension indicator bandages (10cm x 10.5m each) Most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs — and correct technique means wrapping the entire limb firmly from the bite site up. A short bandage does not cover it. The printed tension indicator removes the guesswork: rectangles turn to squares when compression is correct, which matters when someone is frightened and shaking beside you.
- Aluminium foam splint, cotton calico triangular bandage, and heavyweight conforming bandage Everything needed for complete limb immobilisation — restrict movement properly while you keep the patient calm and call 000. Read our guide on why practising snake bite first aid matters before you are in that situation.
- Nitrile gloves, trauma shears, sterile gauze swab, thermal blanket, and two tick removal tools The practical extras that make the Plus a complete outdoor kit, not just a snake response kit. The thermal blanket manages shock. The tick removal tools are correct for Australian species — tick removal technique in Australia matters more than most people realise.
- Permanent marker, A4 step-by-step instructions, and MOLLE-compatible stingray bag Mark the bite time directly on the bandage — critical information for the treating hospital. The instruction card is written for Australian conditions with a QR code linking to the Australian Bites and Stings app. The bag attaches to a pack, belt, or sits in a vehicle. Packed and inspected by hand in Dubbo, NSW by a team with 18 years of Australian emergency care experience behind them.
