Enhance Emergency Preparedness with Training
Bleed control kits are essential for managing life-threatening bleeding before emergency services arrive. Adding these to your emergency response provision supports faster intervention and helps protect lives in high-risk environments.
To support effective use, we recommend first aid training that includes bleed control as part of wider Basic Life Support (BLS) instruction. At defibshop, we work with our accredited training partner, Imperative Training, to deliver a range of first aid courses that include how to provide care for casualties with external bleeding.To view available training courses, head to our training courses section.

What is a bleed control kit used for?
Bleed control kits are designed to manage life-threatening bleeding in the first minutes after an injury. They contain specialist equipment such as tourniquets and haemostatic gauze to help responders stop blood loss quickly before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrive.
What is the difference between the CELOX kit and the standard Bleed Control Kit with Tourniquets?
The CELOX Bleed Control and Emergency Trauma Kit includes Celox Rapid haemostatic gauze, an SOF Tactical Tourniquet, and a Russell Chest Seal™. These components provide enhanced support for severe bleeding and major trauma. The Bleed Control Kit with Tourniquets contains core equipment for controlling catastrophic external bleeding, including trauma dressings, tourniquets, and CPR face shields. Both kits are designed for immediate response, CELOX offers extended capability where risk levels are higher.
Where should bleed control kits be stored?
Bleed control kits must be placed in highly visible, easily accessible locations to support rapid response. Positioning them alongside defibrillators ensures consistency in emergency planning and increases public awareness. Securely mounted storage is essential to protect against weather, damage, or tampering, particularly in outdoor or unsupervised areas.
defibshop offers a dedicated range of polycarbonate outdoor bleed control cabinets in locked and unlocked formats. These cabinets keep kits protected and ready for use when needed.
