Adventure Medical Trauma Pak 3
Adventure Medical Trauma Pak 3 — Product description
When you're an hour offshore and someone opens up a bad cut, you don't want to be improvising. The Adventure Medical Trauma Pak 3 is a compact bleeding control kit with a tourniquet, trauma bandage, and shears, all sealed in a waterproof bag. Stash it in the console or ditch bag and hope you never need it.
The Adventure Medical Trauma Pak 3 is a bleeding control kit built for the moment you hope never comes. A bad cut from a prop. A deep laceration while you're filleting the catch. A fall on a wet deck that opens something up. When you're an hour offshore, direct pressure and the right tools are what keep a bad situation from turning into an emergency.
This is Adventure Medical's most advanced trauma kit, and it puts professional-grade supplies in everyday hands. The whole thing lives in a waterproof, resealable DryFlex bag, so it rides in a console, a ditch bag, or a glove box without soaking through. That waterproofing matters on a boat. Spray, bilge water, a swamped locker, none of it gets to the gauze inside.
Inside you get an emergency trauma bandage that applies firm, direct pressure to stop a major bleed fast. If the bleeding won't quit, there's a SWAT-T tourniquet, a proven wide-band tourniquet you can apply to an arm or a leg to control an arterial bleed. You also get EMT shears to cut away clothing or a wet foul-weather layer, nitrile gloves so you're protected working around blood, and a triangular bandage for slings and limb stabilization. A one-page Trauma Response Instructions sheet walks you through the steps with illustrations, so you're not reading a manual for the first time under pressure.
Who's this for? Any boater who runs far enough from the dock that help isn't minutes away. Offshore anglers, cruisers, anyone with kids aboard. It's also a smart add to a range bag, a first responder kit, or the truck. Slip it into your larger first aid kit as the dedicated bleed module so you don't have to dig for the serious stuff when seconds count.
One honest note. This is a trauma kit, not a full first aid kit. It won't hand you bandaids and seasickness tabs. It does one job, stopping serious bleeding, and it does it well. Keep it alongside your everyday first aid kit, not instead of one.

Frequently asked questions
What's inside the Trauma Pak 3?
You get an emergency trauma bandage, a SWAT-T tourniquet, 4-inch EMT shears, nitrile gloves, a triangular bandage, and an illustrated Trauma Response Instructions sheet, all packed in a waterproof DryFlex bag.
Is the bag really waterproof?
Yes. It's a resealable DryFlex bag that keeps the contents dry against spray, rain, and bilge water. That's exactly why it works on a boat where a paper first aid box would turn to mush.
What kind of tourniquet does it use?
A SWAT-T, which is a wide elastic band tourniquet you wrap and tuck. It doubles as a pressure dressing or elastic bandage, and it packs flatter than a rigid windlass style.
Is this a full first aid kit?
No, and that's on purpose. It's a dedicated bleeding control kit for serious wounds. Keep it alongside your regular first aid kit, not instead of it.
Where should I keep it on the boat?
Somewhere you can reach fast, one-handed. The helm console, a ditch bag, or a labeled locker near the cockpit all work. Everyone aboard should know where it lives.
Do I need training to use it?
The illustrated instructions walk you through the steps, so you can act even without formal training. That said, we'd read through the sheet now and take a bleeding control class if you can. You don't want to learn it for the first time when it's real.
