SURFERS RESCUE 24/7 TRAUMA KIT
This specialised kit has been designed in collaboration with Surfing NSW & TacMed for Boardriders and Beachgoers to rapidly deploy in the event of an Immediate, life-threatening trauma in an aquatic environment. The kit is small, lightweight, clearly labelled and designed to be deployed in the critical first few minutes after a major incident including:
• Shark Attack

In addition to the Immediate Trauma / Bleeding Control equipment there are also multiple hypothermia blankets and equipment for fracture management, basic first aid (minor wounds) and a compact, vacuum sealed soft litter called the TacMed QuikLitter Lite which folds out and allows a PT to be carried off the beach to awaiting medical services.
