Confirmed Trauma Kit & Celox Deployments and Lives Saved

OSS Trauma Plate kits: Case 3

I used my trauma kit as well as another officer’s and my own army windlass tourniquet for the shooting up at X this past Sunday night.  He was shot 7 times with a .45 cal.  I applied two tourniquets and was able to stop the bleeding, and the victim woke up because of the stabilization of the pressure.  He was able to give us enough info to put out a crime broadcast before transport.  I followed up with the doctor and he said the victim would have died without the tourniquets being applied and the Celox Hemostatic Gauze for the wounds to his stomach. Emergency Medical Response took 10 minutes to arrive on scene.

So I’ll be by to pick up another one!
