Description
The Bob Cooper Snake Bite & Venomous Creatures Kit holds three 10 cm wide compression bandages and Bob Cooper's first aid instructions for bites and stings from snakes (land and sea), funnel-web spiders, cone shells and blue-ringed octopus. The kit is built around the pressure and immobilisation technique and packs into a 125 x 105 x 40 mm pouch weighing 150 g.
What it is
A compact, dedicated bite-and-sting kit from survival expert Bob Cooper. Bob regards the pressure and immobilisation technique as the most effective first aid for venomous snake bites and many other creatures, and the kit gives you the bandages and the printed instructions for it in one zipped pouch.
Who it's for
Bob Cooper makes it for bushwalkers and reptile handlers, and to sit in a first aid kit, a backpack or a car glove box.
Key details
- Bandages: three 10 cm wide compression bandages. Bob Cooper chose compression bandages over the non-elastic crepe bandages found in many first aid kits because they hold the correct pressure and stay tight while the bitten person is transported.
- Why three: Bob Cooper says three bandages are needed to apply pressure to an entire adult leg.
- Instructions: the included sheet demonstrates pressure and immobilisation for snake bite, and Bob Cooper says it is the same treatment for the other creatures the instructions cover: sea snakes, funnel-web spiders, blue-ringed octopus and cone shells.
- Size: 125 x 105 x 40 mm, 150 g.
