Snake & Spider First Aid Kit

You'll probably assume the budget option means you're cutting corners. You're not. This snake bite kit carries exactly what the pressure immobilisation technique needs — nothing padded out, nothing missing either. If you already own a first aid kit and just need to close the snake bite gap in it, this is that gap closed, properly, without paying for a full kit you don't need.

One tension indicator bandage, a splint, an ice pack, and clear instructions — the core components you need to respond correctly while you wait for help. If you're covering a family, pets, or you spend real time in remote country, the Snake Bite Plus and Snake Bite Max carry more bandage and broader coverage — but this one holds its own for what it is.

• One tension indicator bandage (10cm x 10.5m) with heavyweight conforming bandage Your instinct will be to bandage tight and hope for the best. Don't guess — most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs, and this snake bite compression bandage's printed tension indicator turns rectangles into squares the moment your pressure's actually right. You'll know, instead of hoping.
• Aluminium splint (90cm x 11cm), cotton calico triangular bandage, and non-woven gauze swab Bandaging alone isn't the whole job — the limb needs to stay still too, or you're only doing half of pressure immobilisation. Practise this before you need it — it's harder under pressure than it looks on a leaflet.
• Instant ice pack and snake bite marker The ice pack's there specifically for redback bites, where cold is actually the right call. The marker lets you write the bite time straight onto the bandage — you won't remember it later, and the hospital will need it.
• Instruction leaflet — Australian conditions Step-by-step, written for what actually happens here — snake bites, funnel-web spider bites, blue-ringed octopus stings, and cone shell stings, all managed the same way with pressure immobilisation.

Built and inspected by hand in Dubbo, NSW — backed by 19 years of remote NSW first aid training experience going into every kit design decision.
