Public Access Trauma (PAcT) First Aid Kit designed for non medical trained use to support life-threatening injuries. Includes the S.T.A.T Tourniquet with 5-second application time, automatic self-locking system, and integrated timestrap timer.
The kit we hope you never have to use and that you’ll never regret having.
The Public Access Trauma Kit (PAcT) is designed to provide life-saving aid in the critical moments following a terrorist attack when paramedics are unable to respond immediately. Developed with input from the Royal College of Surgeons and other medical experts, this kit is tailored for easy use by untrained individuals under extreme stress. It features military-grade components, including tourniquets and wound dressings, and is recognised by emergency services across the UK. Essential for high-traffic areas like entertainment venues, schools, and transport hubs, the PAcT kit ensures vital care is available when it’s needed most.
Featured on The One Show
On 3 September 2024, BBC's The One Show featured a segment about a partnership between Manchester City Council, CityCo, and Steroplast Healthcare, which saw 177 Public Access Trauma (PAcT) Kits distributed across venues in Manchester’s hospitality and entertainment sectors. This initiative addresses the "care gap" – the crucial period between a serious incident, such as a terrorist attack, and the arrival of emergency services.
Figen Murray, a campaigner for Martyn’s Law, was interviewed to discuss the importance of being prepared for such incidents, emphasising how essential tools like the PAcT Kit are in public spaces. Her involvement highlighted the urgency of equipping venues with life-saving resources. At the event, a Steroplast healthcare professional led a training session for venue staff, showing them how to use the PAcT Kit’s contents, including easy-to-use tourniquets and trauma dressings. The session demonstrated how even those without medical experience can effectively manage life-threatening injuries using the kit.
